Special Section on Computer Graphics Education (and related subjects) in the time of Covid

by Eurographics Mailing List

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). Important Dates Submission Due: November 15, 2020 First Decision: December 15, 2020 Revised Papers Due: March 17, 2020 Final Decision: January 31, 2021 Publication: July 2020 The Guest Editors Beatriz Sousa Santos, Eike Anderson, Gitta Domik

Eurographics'2021 - Call for Tutorials

by Eurographics Mailing List

Call for Tutorials EUROGRAPHICS'2021 in Vienna, Austria, May 3-7, 2021, conferences.eg.org/eg2021 <http://conferences.eg.org/eg2021> ---> enjoy Vienna ! The Eurographics’2021 Tutorials Committee invites you to propose tutorials teaching the technical background of a given subject, or demonstrating its potential creative applications. Tutorials are intended to show what can be done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can be used to do it. In a proposal for a tutorial you should consider that tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and development to education and application. We are soliciting half-day and full-day tutorial proposals at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced level in all areas pertinent to Computer Graphics. Half-day tutorials are about three hours, plus a coffee break in the middle. Full-day tutorials are twice that long, plus two coffee breaks and a longer lunch break. Full-day tutorials should be motivated by sufficient scientific material. Tutorial proposals are about 4-5 pages in length, clearly indicating the audience that is addressed as well as the syllabus of instruction. They will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs, supported by external reviewers. The final selection will be based on quality of the submission, qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference topics, and balance of topics. Accepted tutorials will be distributed on the conference’s USB stick and also will be included in the Eurographics digital library. Eurographics does not require a copyright for the tutorial notes it publishes. The tutorial speakers may reuse their material freely. For each accepted tutorial, one free registration is provided per half day of that tutorial. Timeline November 15, 2020 Submission of full tutorial proposals December 21, 2020 Acceptance/rejection notification March 28, 2021 Submission of final materials (see course notes below) * All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC Submission details Tutorial proposals (in PDF) should be submitted by using the Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRMv2). <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021TUT> The submitted proposals should contain the following information: – Presenter(s) details: * Name(s) * Institution(s) * Email address(es) * URL(s) – Tutorial details: * Title of the tutorial * Keywords * Half or full day tutorial (either 2×90 minutes or 4×90 minutes) * A detailed outline of the tutorial. * A statement on the necessary background and potential target audience for the tutorial. * A brief resume of the presenter(s) indicating their background in the area the tutorial addresses. If a (similar) tutorial was previously held, indicate the location (i.e., which conference), date, and the number of attendees. Please provide information highlighting changes, improvements and/or why the tutorial should be held again in this form. Course Notes Sample course notes, although not required in the submission, are highly encouraged to accompany the tutorial proposals. Notes may include original text, formatted according to the Eurographics publication guidelines, reprints of earlier papers (subject to copyright approval), slides, videos, software, datasets, and any other material the authors consider useful. The acceptance of tutorial proposals is contingent upon the final submission of complete course notes. Upon acceptance of the tutorial, additional material should be submitted using the same link in the SRM system as for submitting the proposal. All course notes of accepted tutorials will be distributed to conference participants electronically. Eurographics Tutorial Chairs Carol O’Sullivan, Trinity College Dublin, Ireland Dieter Schmalstieg, TU Graz, Austria For any questions concerning tutorial submissions please contact the tutorial co-chairs: chairs-eg2021tut(a)eg.org <mailto:chairs-eg2021tut@eg.org> -- EUROGRAPHICS'2021 Calls are open now -> May 3-7, 2021, online ! conferences.eg.org/eg2021 ---> enjoy virtual Vienna! ***sponsored by Eurographics, VRVis, Adobe, Disney, KAUST, Snap*** Werner Purgathofer TU Wien Institute of Visual Computing & HC Technology Favoritenstrasse 9 / 193, 1040 Wien Tel. +43-1-58801-18655 wp(a)cg.tuwien.ac.at <mailto:wp@cg.tuwien.ac.at>

EuroVis 2021 - Call for State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs)

by Eurographics Mailing List

EuroVis 2021 - Call for STARs State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) are intended to provide up-to-date and comprehensive surveys on topics of interest to the visualization research community. We encourage the submission of STARs on topics that have not yet been covered in any recent STAR or other survey [1,2]. We welcome submissions that introduce emerging technologies, as well as proposals on more traditional visualization topics. We also welcome contributions from related disciplines and application areas demonstrating contributions to, or benefits from, the area of visualization including, but not limited to, visual computing, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, image processing, computer vision, psychology, geography, chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, data analysis, computational sciences, medicine, biology, economy, social science, etc. All accepted EuroVis STAR reports will be published in the Computer Graphics Forum. Important Dates Submission of STAR sketch: October 16, 2020 (two pages, +references, +bibliography) Invitation for full STAR submission: November 11, 2020 Submission of full STAR: February 5, 2021 Review notification: March 22, 2021 Second round submission: April 23, 2021 Second review notification: May 5, 2021 Camera-ready deadline: May 14, 2021 All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated. Instructions As part of the acceptance process into Computer Graphics Forum, STARs will undergo a multi-stage process. Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and will be conducted using the Precision Conference System ( <https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions> PCS). For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to the submission guidelines at <https://www.eurovis.org/index.php/for-submitters/stars/> https://www.eurovis.org/index.php/for-submitters/stars/. We plan to schedule each STAR as an approximately 45 minute presentation (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis 2021 program). In any circumstances, a STAR presentation will be given a longer time slot than that of a full paper. Any accepted STARs are required to have at least one (paid) registered author to attend and present the STAR at the conference. STAR Sketch Submission First, authors are asked to submit an initial sketch by October 16th 2020. A STAR sketch briefly describes the planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance to the visualization community, providing the planned structure and outline of the STAR together with all key references, and short biographies of the authors. The length of a STAR sketch main text is limited to two pages. To demonstrate the relevant expertise needed to produce the proposed STAR, brief biographies of all authors are required as supplementary material. References and short biographies are considered supplementary pages and are not counted within the two page limit. STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC and comments on suitability and relevance will be provided on November 11th 2020. Full STAR Submission In the next stage, authors are required to submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single blind, two-stage review process, similar to that of regular papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where 3-4 external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. There is no strict maximum length for full submissions. However, it is unusual for STARs to exceed 20 pages (excluding references). STAR Chairs Noeska Smit, University of Bergen, Norway Katerina Vrotsou, Linköping University, Sweden Bei Wang, University of Utah, USA For any questions concerning State-of-the-Art Report submissions please contact the STAR chairs at <mailto:stars@eurovis.org> stars(a)eurovis.org.

Eurographics 2021 abstract submission deadline approaching (September 28)

by Eurographics Mailing List

Eurographics 2021 - Call for Full Papers EUROGRAPHICS'2021, 3-7 May, 2021, <http://conferences.eg.org/eg2021> organized in Vienna, Austria as a virtual conference conferences.eg.org/eg2021 The EUROGRAPHICS’2021 Full Papers Program will showcase innovative research in Computer Graphics and related areas. We invite submissions of new ideas and encourage all forms of research creativity and originality. We are interested in the practice, experience, novel applications, technological, system or theoretical papers, with the ambition of setting the standard in the field and stimulating future trends. Accepted full papers will be presented at EUROGRAPHICS’2021 and published in a special issue of the Eurographics journal Computer Graphics Forum <https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14678659> . The submissions will undergo a two-step review process. We encourage submissions from all areas related to computer graphics, including but not limited to rendering, modeling, inverse graphics, generative modeling, animation, simulation, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, display technology, image processing, computational imaging, computational fabrication, human-computer interaction, and related disciplines. Eurographics Full Papers will be published as Gold Open Access at 340 EUR per publication with a special discounted price of 260 EUR per publication available to Eurographics members. Timeline (All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC) September 28, 2020 Preliminary abstract due (required for any further submission) October 5, 2020 Full paper due November 23, 2020 Reviews available November 23 to 29, 2020 Rebuttal period December 14, 2020 Notification to Authors January 22, 2021 Revised version due February 8, 2021 Final notification February 22, 2021 Camera-ready version due April 12, 2021 Fast-Forward video due May 3-7, 2021 Virtual Conference hosted in Vienna Submission Dates A preliminary abstract is due by 23:59 UTC, September 28, 2020, and the full paper deadline is 23:59 UTC, October 5, 2020. Note that a full paper can only be submitted only if an abstract has been submitted by the abstract deadline. Submission Details Electronic submission of all papers is mandatory and will be conducted using the Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) <http://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021> system. Papers must be written in English, must be anonymized, and must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines. The publication guidelines and LaTeX templates are available on SRMv2 <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021/Instruction> . Accepted papers must be virtually presented orally in English at Eurographics’2021. Review of full papers is based on a double-blind reviewing approach, so please be sure to remove all personal data (such as authors, affiliations, etc.) from your submission. References to your own work should be made in the third person to maintain anonymity. Reviewers are asked to keep confidential all materials sent to them for evaluation. There is no maximum length imposed on papers. However, papers should only be as long as they need to be, but not longer. Reviewers might rank submissions perceived as being either repetitive or unnecessarily long lower than they would score concisely written papers. Authors of accepted papers will present a very short summary or a teaser during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds and can be augmented by slides. To ensure a smooth organization, they will be asked to prepare a short video of the slides for this purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one without. These FF presentations will be available on the web throughout the conference. Details will be sent to accepted paper authors. Plagiarism A submission to the Eurographics Full Papers program should describe an original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content originating from others without properly crediting their original sources. Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed publications but also include patents, textbooks, technical reports, theses, unpublished work posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection. Prior Art Authors are expected to cite, discuss differences and novelty, and compare results, if applicable, with respect to relevant existing publications, provided they have been published in a peer-reviewed venue. This also applies to patents, which also undergo a professional reviewing process. But what about technical reports, and other non-peer-reviewed publications, such as technical reports or papers posted on arXiv, which we henceforth refer to as pre-publications? With the rapid progress of search engines and the increased perusal of arXiv papers by the scientific community, asking authors to thoroughly compare their work to these pre-publications imposes an unreasonable burden — a seemingly relevant report that is incomplete in its disclosure or validation might appear online shortly before the deadline. Although peer-reviewed publications are certainly not immune to these shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged sufficiently complete and valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors are not required to discuss and compare their work with recent pre-publications (arXiv, technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those that inspired them (see “Plagiarism” above). Nevertheless, we encourage authors to mention all related works they are aware of as good academic practice dictates. Note that with new works posted on arXiv on a daily basis, it is increasingly likely that reviewers might point out similarities between the submitted work and online reports that have been missed by the authors. In this case, authors of conditionally accepted papers should be prepared to cite these pre-publications in their final revision as concurrent work, without the burden of having to detail how their work compares to or differs from these pre-publications. arXiv Policy As authors, putting a submission on a repository like arXiv is allowed, either before submission or during the review cycle. There is no penalty for publishing a submission as a prepublication. However, please do not advertise the work on social media or list on webpages as ‘under review at Eurographics’. This is consistent with the submission guidelines at Siggraph and CVPR/ECCV/ICCV. If an author is applying for jobs during the review cycle, it is allowed, as an exception, to list a submission as ‘under review at Eurographics’ in the author’s CV. After submission, the authors should try to preserve the anonymity of the submission. Authors must not discuss submitted research with social or regular media that includes blogs and news articles, as well as publicize via media segments of universities and/or research institutes. Double Submission Policy By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Full Papers program, authors acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not been previously published or accepted for publication in another peer-reviewed venue, and that no manuscript substantially similar in content is currently under review. Violations constitute grounds for rejection. Re-submitted Material For papers that have previously been reviewed by other venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are encouraged to provide a cover letter to describe the history of the paper (however, this does not imply reviewer continuity). This cover letter can also answer the comments made in the previous reviews, by either listing the changes that were made to comply with them, or discussing/rebutting/clarifying some elements if need be. Though not mandatory, this procedure is strongly encouraged. The cover letter has to be submitted through SRM as an ‘Additional Attachment’ (see the last section of the SRM upload form for details). Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative Authors who are willing to go one step further toward replicability of their contributed algorithm and provide a complete open-source implementation can get an additional recognition via submission to the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (see http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/). All articles published in the Computer Graphics Forum are eligible to apply for the stamp. Rebuttal, Notification, Publication, and Prizes · The reviews will be made available to the authors on November 23, 2020. During a rebuttal period from November 23 to November 29, 2020, authors will be able to submit a brief document to address any factual errors or clarify any issues raised by reviews. · The date for notification of the results of the first round of the review process is December 14, 2020. · Revised versions of papers conditionally accepted in the first round must be submitted by January 22, 2021. · The final notification of the outcome of the second reviewing round will be made on February 8, 2021. · The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on February 22, 2021. · From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will select the best papers. The best paper will receive the Günter Enderle Award, including a cash prize of €1,000, (virtually) presented at Eurographics’2021. Eurographics’2021 Full Papers Chairs Niloy J. Mitra, University College London and Adobe Research Ivan Viola, KAUST, Saudi Arabia For any questions concerning full paper submissions, please do not hesitate to contact the papers program co-chairs via chairs-eg2021full(a)eg.org <mailto:chairs-eg2021full@eg.org> .

There is no maximum length imposed on papers. However, papers should only be as long as they need to be, but not longer. Reviewers might rank submissions perceived as being either repetitive or unnecessarily long lower than they would score concisely written papers. Authors of accepted papers will present a very short summary or a teaser during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds and can be augmented by slides. To ensure a smooth organization, they will be asked to prepare a short video of the slides for this purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one without. These FF presentations will be available on the web throughout the conference. Details will be sent to accepted paper authors. Plagiarism A submission to the Eurographics Full Papers program should describe an original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content originating from others without properly crediting their original sources. Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed publications but also include patents, textbooks, technical reports, theses, unpublished work posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection. Prior Art Authors are expected to cite, discuss differences and novelty, and compare results, if applicable, with respect to relevant existing publications, provided they have been published in a peer-reviewed venue. This also applies to patents, which also undergo a professional reviewing process. But what about technical reports, and other non-peer-reviewed publications, such as technical reports or papers posted on arXiv, which we henceforth refer to as pre-publications? With the rapid progress of search engines and the increased perusal of arXiv papers by the scientific community, asking authors to thoroughly compare their work to these pre-publications imposes an unreasonable burden — a seemingly relevant report that is incomplete in its disclosure or validation might appear online shortly before the deadline. Although peer-reviewed publications are certainly not immune to these shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged sufficiently complete and valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors are not required to discuss and compare their work with recent pre-publications (arXiv, technical reports, theses, etc.), although they must properly cite those that inspired them (see “Plagiarism” above). Nevertheless, we encourage authors to mention all related works they are aware of as good academic practice dictates. Note that with new works posted on arXiv on a daily basis, it is increasingly likely that reviewers might point out similarities between the submitted work and online reports that have been missed by the authors. In this case, authors of conditionally accepted papers should be prepared to cite these pre-publications in their final revision as concurrent work, without the burden of having to detail how their work compares to or differs from these pre-publications. arXiv Policy As authors, putting a submission on a repository like arXiv is allowed, either before submission or during the review cycle. There is no penalty for publishing a submission as a prepublication. However, please do not advertise the work on social media or list on webpages as ‘under review at Eurographics’. This is consistent with the submission guidelines at Siggraph and CVPR/ECCV/ICCV. If an author is applying for jobs during the review cycle, it is allowed, as an exception, to list a submission as ‘under review at Eurographics’ in the author’s CV. After submission, the authors should try to preserve the anonymity of the submission. Authors must not discuss submitted research with social or regular media that includes blogs and news articles, as well as publicize via media segments of universities and/or research institutes. Double Submission Policy By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Full Papers program, authors acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not been previously published or accepted for publication in another peer-reviewed venue, and that no manuscript substantially similar in content is currently under review. Violations constitute grounds for rejection. Re-submitted Material For papers that have previously been reviewed by other venues and have been rejected or withdrawn, the authors are encouraged to provide a cover letter to describe the history of the paper (however, this does not imply reviewer continuity). This cover letter can also answer the comments made in the previous reviews, by either listing the changes that were made to comply with them, or discussing/rebutting/clarifying some elements if need be. Though not mandatory, this procedure is strongly encouraged. The cover letter has to be submitted through SRM as an ‘Additional Attachment’ (see the last section of the SRM upload form for details). Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative Authors who are willing to go one step further toward replicability of their contributed algorithm and provide a complete open-source implementation can get an additional recognition via submission to the Graphics Replicability Stamp Initiative (see <http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/> http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/). All articles published in the Computer Graphics Forum are eligible to apply for the stamp. Rebuttal, Notification, Publication, and Prizes * The reviews will be made available to the authors on November 23, 2020. During a rebuttal period from November 23 to November 29, 2020, authors will be able to submit a brief document to address any factual errors or clarify any issues raised by reviews. * The date for notification of the results of the first round of the review process is December 14, 2020. * Revised versions of papers conditionally accepted in the first round must be submitted by January 22, 2021. * The final notification of the outcome of the second reviewing round will be made on February 8, 2021. * The camera-ready version of accepted papers will be due on February 22, 2021. * From all accepted and presented papers, an international jury will select the best papers. The best paper will receive the Günter Enderle Award, including a cash prize of €1,000, (virtually) presented at Eurographics’2021. Eurographics’2021 Full Papers Chairs Niloy J.
