EuroVis 2021 (June 14-18 2021, Zürich, Switzerland)
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).
IMPORTANT DATES
Submission deadline: March 1, 2021
Notification: April 2, 2021
Camera Ready Version: April 16, 2021
All submission deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated.

All sub-areas of data visualization and visual analytics are welcomed, including high-dimensional, time-series, spatial, geographic, text, hierarchical, and network data. Techniques may be specialized for specific devices or form-factors (e.g., mobile or wall-scale visualization).
* Systems: new software frameworks, languages, or tools for visualization; systems for large-scale visualization; integrated graphical systems for visual analysis or interactive machine learning; collaborative and web-scale visualization systems.
* Applications & Design Studies: novel use of visualization to address problems in an application domain, including accounts of innovative system design, deployment and impact. We welcome diverse application areas, including the physical sciences, life sciences, social sciences, engineering, arts, sports, and humanities.
* Evaluation & Empirical Research: Comparative evaluation of competing visualization approaches; controlled experiments to inform visualization best practices; longitudinal and qualitative studies to understand user needs, visualization adoption, and use.
* Theory: models of visual encoding, interaction, and/or analysis tasks; implications from theories of perception, cognition, design, and/or aesthetics; methods for automated design or visualization recommendation.
For a wider range of paper types, please see “Broadening Intellectual Diversity in Visualization Research Papers<http://cmci.colorado.edu/visualab/papers/19-CGA-ContributionTypes.pdf>” by B. Lee et al.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
The maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track is 10 pages (in Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) style, including all images, but excluding references). Authors are encouraged to use supplementary documents to provide extra content. Papers exceeding the maximum allowed number of pages will be automatically rejected.
Submissions must be made using the Computer Graphics Forum style, using the conference LaTeX template for full papers. A LaTeX style sheet and overleaf template will be provided as well as a sample document explaining the required format.
Authors have the option to submit their papers anonymously. In contrast to previous years, double-blind reviewing is optional, not required: authors may choose to disclose their identities to the reviewers. The reviewing process does not consider anonymity as a factor. The process will attempt to preserve anonymity of authors of anonymized submissions. However, the program committee, which is responsible for half of the reviews, will know the authors of submissions reviewed by them.
Authors have the option of submitting additional material with their submissions. Supplementary materials, such as videos and supporting data, are encouraged. For papers that have previously been reviewed for other venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are strongly encouraged to provide the original submission with a cover letter describing the changes they have made to comply with reviewers' comments and requests.
All full papers accepted to EuroVis appear in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, containing the conference proceedings, and will appear at the same time in the Eurographics digital library.
EuroVis submissions and papers are subject to the pre-print and self-archiving policies of the Computer Graphics Forum journal. Details are available from the journal web site:
https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/open-acce…
Given the uncertainty due to the pandemic, further details will be communicated regarding possible Open Access charges.
Abstracts and full papers are submitted using the Precision Conference System (PCS): https://new.precisionconference.com/eurovis21a
Please note you shall select Eurographics as Society.
Submission of an abstract is mandatory by the abstract deadline, with completed papers due on by the full paper deadline. Submissions will not be accepted if an abstract is not submitted by the abstract deadline. Abstract submissions require the title, authors, paper type, abstract, and keywords in the form. The remaining fields (the document, additional material) are submitted by the full paper deadline. Please note that EuroVis accepted papers are published as a regular-length journal article, so submitting just an abstract is not sufficient. Submitters should choose keywords and categories appropriate for their paper as this information is used in reviewer selection.
For more details please see the EuroVis 2021 website: https://www.eurovis.org/index.php/for-submitters/full-papers/

Call for Papers
Workshop on Molecular Graphics and Visual Analysis of Molecular Data 2021
co-located with EuroVis 2021 - June 14th, 2021, Zurich, Switzerland
Molecular visualization is one of the oldest branches of scientific
visualization, which has been developing for over 50 years. Nevertheless, it
is still a very active research area mainly due to the continuous advances
in computational biology and computer graphics techniques. Not only the
ever-increasing dataset sizes yield a constant challenge for visual
analysis, but also new technologies like advances in web-based graphics or
augmented and virtual reality open new possibilities.
This multidisciplinary workshop - which is held in conjunction with EuroVis
for the fourth time - brings together visualization and computer graphics
researchers working with molecular data.
This year the MolVA Workshop teamed up with Computer and Graphics journal
and we are happy to announce that the submitted papers will be accepted
either as journal publications or conference-only publications. The journal
publications will be published directly in Computers and Graphics Journal
(C&G) Special Section on Molecular Graphics and Visual Analysis of Molecular
Data, while the conference-only papers will be published in EG Digital
Library. Moreover, the conference-only publications will be offered to
submit an extended version that will undergo another peer-reviewed process
and can be still accepted as a journal publication after the workshop.
We invite short papers as well as full papers (2-4 pages for short and up to
8 pages for full papers, both with an additional page reserved for
references). Note that short papers are not eligible for journal publication
but can be extended after the workshop to full-papers and submitted in the
second round.
All submissions will be peer-reviewed by at least three experts in two-cycle
review according to the standards of Computers and Graphics Journal. You can
find the complete author guidelines at:
https://www.elsevier.com/journals/computers-and-graphics/0097-8493/guide-for
-authors.
All accepted papers will be presented at MolVA 2021 Workshop which will be
co-located with EuroVis 2021 in Zurich, Switzerland. Therefore, at least one
of the authors of an accepted paper will have to register and attend the
workshop. We hope that MolVA 2021 can be held as an in-person conference but
depending on the pandemic situation next year, we may adhere to some
preventive measures. We will follow the scheme that will be put in place by
EuroVis conference.
Suggested topics for papers include, but are not limited to:
* Molecular Graphics & Rendering
* Web-based Molecular Graphics & Visualization
* Immersive Analytics approaches using, e.g., VR/AR technologies
* Visual Analysis of Molecular Data (e.g., molecular structures,
biological networks and pathways, or omics data)
* Visualization of Dynamic Molecular Data & Large Molecular Systems
* Machine-learning approaches for analysis of molecular data
* Tools papers describing new molecular visualization tools or novel
features in existing tools
Special Section on Computer Graphics Education (and related subjects) in the
time of Covid
_____
We invite submissions to the
<https://www.journals.elsevier.com/graphics-and-visual-computing/> Graphics
& Visual Computing Journal, the open access sister journal of Computers &
Graphics, Special Section on Computer Graphics Education (and related
subjects) in the time of Covid.
The Covid-19 pandemic has profoundly affected society worldwide and forced
Universities and other Higher Education institutions to move their programs
online almost overnight; students and faculty had to adapt to this new
reality and go on with their activities in very different conditions without
any specific planning or training. This was naturally more problematic for
some courses and topics than for others; Computer Graphics and related
courses (e.g. Visualization and Virtual Reality) may have been particularly
challenging as they involve very specific Hardware and Software that
typically students only have access to at their institutions' premises.
Nevertheless, this also brought opportunity to institutions, which should be
better prepared to face new challenges, and perhaps to leverage this
experience to foster a hybrid model of education with significant benefits.
This call addresses papers identifying and debating issues, presenting
solutions, guidelines, and lessons learned based on the experience gained
during these extraordinary times.
Please follow the submission guidelines for the Graphics & Visual Computing
Journal as detailed in the guide to authors. Ensure that you read and follow
the instructions linked below carefully before uploading your submission at:
<https://www.editorialmanager.com/gvc/>
https://www.editorialmanager.com/gvc/
All submissions will be fully peer-reviewed by at least three experts
according to the standards of Graphics & Visual Computing. Authors of
accepted papers will be invited to present their work at the Eurographics
2021 Education track
<https://conferences.eg.org/eg2021/for-submitters/education-paper-submission
/> (online).
