Notification of Acceptance: April 3, 2020
Camera-ready Deadline: April 17, 2020
Workshop Date: May 25, 2020
Molecular visualization and graphics belong among the oldest branches of
scientific visualization, which has been developing for over 50 years. Due
to the continuous advances in both computational biology and computer
graphics techniques, molecular graphics and visualization are very active
areas of research. 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 half-day multidisciplinary workshop - which is held in
conjunction with EuroVis for the third time and with Eurographics for the
first time - brings together visualization and computer graphics
researchers working with molecular data.
Whereas molecular graphics is an established topic for many years, the
hybrid-dimensional visual analysis of molecular structures is still a quite
new research field with a lot of potential. We would like to encourage
submissions especially using new technologies, such as immersive analytics
or ML-related approaches.
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). All papers will undergo a single-stage, double-blind peer
review process. Accepted papers will be published in the EG digital
library. The workshop will be held in Norrköping, Sweden, May 25th, 2020,
as part of EuroVis & Eurographics 2020.
Suggested topics 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
- Tools papers describing new molecular visualization tools or novel
features in existing tools

*******************************************************************************
VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software
(co-located with EuroVis & Eurographics 2020) May 25th, 2020, Norrköping, Sweden
*******************************************************************************
Over the years, many visualization methods and tools have been developed and published by the visualization research community. However, most of these are prototypes and never reach a state that can be reliably used by the target audience, e.g., domain scientists. Also, availability of these prototypes as source code or at least as executables is still the exception rather than the norm. The VisGap Symposium aims to shed a light on this gap between research and practical applicability, examine the obstacles every researcher faces, and propose solutions to overcome this problem as a community.
VisGap'20 aims at gathering experts from all over the visualization community in order to advance the way our field works with software, sustains software, and values the effort our members put into developing said software.
We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, 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 or must present a substantial extension of previous work (at least 30%). Papers must be submitted through PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/). All submissions will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review process. Accepted papers will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored in the Eurographics Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the VisGap'20 workshop to present their work.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
- Requirements for successful visualization in applications in general
- Domain-specific requirements for visualizations
- Reflections on the research community and the visualization software ecosystem
- Incentives and funding for developing/maintaining visualization research software
- Legal requirements (e.g., licensing, certification) for visualizations in applications
- Case studies of (un)successful visualization solutions in applications
- Requirements for novel visualization libraries

--------------------
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 2020 will be collocated with Eurographics and EuroVis 2020, held May
25-29, 2020, in Norrköping, Sweden. 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 rendering, 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.
EGPGV again calls for Full Papers (8 to 10 pages) and Short Papers (up to 4
pages) in Eurographics format.
