The IEEE VIS 2022 Papers Chairs Committee (PCC) invites qualified
applicants to volunteer for the Program Committee (PC) for the IEEE VIS
2022 Full Papers program!
This call is oriented towards volunteers who have not served as a PC
member in the past – past PC members do not need to submit this form to
be considered again. Even though volunteering does not guarantee a spot
on the PC, all volunteers will be considered with great interest and
gratitude.
The IEEE VIS 2022 PCC will consider several factors when selecting PC
members. At an absolute minimum, PC members should have a PhD degree (or
equivalent), have published at least one full paper at VIS, and have
reviewed at least one full paper for VIS (VIS includes the VAST,
InfoVis, and SciVis conferences).
Key factors that the PCC will consider include:
* papers published at VIS and related venues
* reviewing experience at VIS and related venues
* achieved academic degree in our field
* previous PC experience for related venues
* areas of expertise
You can volunteer to become a PC member for IEEE VIS 2022 by filling out
the form at https://forms.gle/HByuAWfQqWeHbSiL8
The volunteering period closes on January 31, 2022.
We look forward to receiving many submissions!

EnvirVis Co-Chairs
We invite submission of high-quality short papers that will set the standard and stimulate future trends in the field of visualization and visual analytics. Accepted papers will be published the Eurographics Digital Library. All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference. EuroVis 2022 (https://www.eurovis.org/ ) will be held in Rome, Italy on June 13-17, 2022.
A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller — yet still significant — scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers:
• A new visualization technique or system and evidence of its utility compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation).
• An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization technique or system with convincing evaluation.
• An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system.
• A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that helps to understand its limitations.
• A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the implementation).
• A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis community (without extensive evaluation of the methodology).
• The practical application of established visualization techniques or a design study that can provide insights for visualization research on which future contributors can build.
// IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: February 28, 2022
Notifications: April 1, 2022
Camera Ready Version: April 15, 2022
All submission deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated.
// INSTRUCTIONS
Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages in CGF latex style<https://conferences.eg.org/eurovis2022/wp-content/uploads/sites/15/2021/09/…>, with an additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book.
Short papers are to be submitted using the Precision Conference System (PCS)
(https://new.precisionconference.com/eurovis22b).
Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program committee. Short papers will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. All accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference.
For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to the submission guidelines described in https://www.eurovis.org/index.php/for-submitters/short-papers/ .
