EuroVis 2021 (June 14-18 2021, Virtual Conference)
https://www.eurovis.org
CALL FOR SHORT PAPERS
Due: March 1, 2021
Notification: April 2, 2021
EuroVis 2021 features a short paper track to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. All accepted short papers (4 pages plus an optional page only with references) will be presented orally at the conference. Please submit your work to the Short Papers program!
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).

Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and Life Sciences 2021
(Eurographics Medical Prize) -- Deadline extensions
Submission Deadline: February 12, 2021 February 19, 2021
Notification: March 26, 2021 April 2, 2021
Camera-Ready: April 23, 2021
Talk at Conference and Award: June 14-18, 2021
The Eurographics Association organizes a biannual competition, to
acknowledge the contribution of computer graphics and visualization
techniques in medicine and life sciences, and to encourage further
development. Originally called "Eurographics Medical Prize", the competition
was renamed to "Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine" in
2010---in honor of Dirk Bartz, who passed away in March 2010. Dirk Bartz was
a highly recognized and enthusiastic scientist, teacher, and promoter of
Visual Computing in Medicine; furthermore, he was an active member of the
Eurographics Association, and Chair of the EG Medical Prize, in 2007 and
2009. Before, the prize was co-located with the Eurographics Conference.
Since this year, it will be co-located with EuroVis and it is broadened to
include contributions in life sciences.
==Call
Submissions to the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing in Medicine and
Life Sciences 2021 are being invited from researchers and developers, who
can demonstrate that a particular benefit in a medical/life sciences
application has resulted from the use of visual computing technology that
they have produced/developed. We welcome submissions from all areas of
visual computing---examples include the use of new data visualization
techniques, interaction methods, or virtual/augmented environments. Entries
typically summarize a body of research and/or development that has been
conducted over the course of a project, PhD thesis, etc. and weight is put
on demonstrating the medical/life sciences impact of the work.
==Winners
The top three winning entries of the Dirk Bartz Prize for Visual Computing
in Medicine and Life Sciences 2021 will receive a prize and their submission
will be published in the "Short Papers and Medical Prize Awards" digital
media proceedings, and in the EG Digital Library. The judging panel will
select the winning entry, based on its medical/life sciences value, use of
visual computing methods, and novelty. All three winning teams will have an
opportunity to present their results at EuroVis 2021, which means that at
least one author of each winning team must register and attend, to present
the results.

EGPGV 2021 -- Call for Papers
The Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV)
aims to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge on exploiting and
defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization. This area is of
growing importance due to the rapidly increasing availability of multi-core
CPUs, GPUs, and cluster systems. Computationally demanding and
data-intensive applications in graphics and visualization are strongly
affected by this trend and require novel, efficient parallel solutions.
EGPGV 2021 will take place on June 14, 2021, and be co-located with EuroVis
2021, held June 14-18, 2021, in Zurich, Switzerland.
The proceedings of EGPGV will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings
Series and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Best papers from the EGPGV
symposium will be invited to submit an extended journal version to IEEE
Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
EGPGV seeks papers on graphics and visualization that involve any type of
parallel computing, and/or focus on very large data sets. Papers on
techniques, data structures, algorithms, systems, and applications are
welcomed. Parallel computing is broadly defined, including high-performance
computing and cloud environments, (multi-)GPU computing and heterogeneous,
hybrid architectures, and shared and/or distributed memory architectures.
Further, papers focused on processing very large data sets (either for
visualization or graphics) are welcomed, even if they do not have a
particular focus on parallelism.
Typical symposium topics include:
- Computationally and data-intensive rendering
- Scientific visualization (e.g., volume, flow, and tensor visualization)
- Information visualization and visual analytics
- In situ analytics and in situ visualization
- Out-of-core processing of large data sets for visualization or graphics
- Simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation, collision
detection, acoustics)
- Mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods
- Visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image processing and
exploitation, segmentation)
- Scheduling, memory management, and data coherence
- Parallelization approaches and algorithms, such as MapReduce
- Database-related methods, algorithms or approaches, and query-based
visualization
- Advanced hardware for data handling or visualization
- Large and high-resolution displays, virtual environments
- Scientific, engineering, and industrial applications
- Data analytics on large scientific data sets
- Machine learning as applied to parallel graphics, visualization and/or
large data analytics
In general, appropriate topics for the symposium fall into one of four
categories:
(1) parallel graphics,
(2) rendering of very large data sets,
(3) parallel visualization and analytics, and
(4) processing of large data sets for visualization or analytics.
We already had an early submission deadline last December, and we are now
asking for submissions to the regular submission deadline given below.
Please notice also that this year there is again an abstract submission
deadline one week in advance to the paper submission deadline.
For additional information regarding paper submission and publication,
please contact the program chairs.
EGPGV again calls for Full Papers (8 to 10 pages) and Short Papers (up to 4
pages) in Eurographics format. The EGPGV webpage (https://www.egpgv.org)
will be updated soon with more details on submission.

EGSR 2021 - Call for Papers
The Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2021 will take place from June 29th to July 2nd, 2021, hosted by Saarland University. This 32nd event continues the series of highly successful Eurographics Symposia and Workshops on Rendering.
The current plan is for a 4 day event that will be compatible with fully remote/virtual participation. If health conditions and logistics permit, we would like to have at least some days of physical attendance. The decision for this will be taken in the mid/late Spring.
All accepted research papers will be presented at EGSR 2021 and archived in the Eurographics digital library. Furthermore, a selection of them will be published in an issue of the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) journal, based on both the recommendations of the reviewers and the outcome of a second cycle of review.
We are looking for work that shapes the future of rendering in computer graphics and related fields, such as virtual and augmented reality, deep learning, and computational photography.
There is no fixed minimum or maximum paper length. However, submissions over 12 pages in length will be treated as exceptional cases, and length must be proportional to contribution.
For each submitted paper, a minimum of 3 reviews will be provided to the authors, who will then be able to provide a rebuttal to clarify misunderstandings and answer the reviewers’ questions. The reviewers will then discuss and decide on the acceptance of the paper to the EGSR 2021 program. In the event of acceptance, the authors will submit a revised version of their manuscript prior to the conference. All papers will be presented virtually. An in-person event might happen, but attendance by authors won’t be mandatory.
Topics of interest
We invite original contributions that advance the state-of-the-art in topics related, but not limited, to:
Physically-based rendering (PBR) and global illumination
Monte Carlo sampling and integration
Real-time rendering, including ray tracing, acceleration structures, and GPU algorithms
