EuroVis 2020 Call for Papers
With this call for papers, we invite submission of high-quality papers that will set the standard and stimulate future trends in the field of visualization and visual analytics. Accepted full papers will be published in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the Eurographics Association, after a two-stage peer-reviewing process. All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference. EuroVis 2020 ( <https://conferences.eg.org/egev20> https://conferences.eg.org/egev20 ) will be held together with Eurographics in Norrköping, Sweden on May 25-29, 2020.
We encourage submissions from all areas of visualization and visual analytics.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
* Techniques: novel algorithms, visual encoding methods, and/or interaction techniques for data analysis, exploration, or communication. 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.
SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS
We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the full papers track. However, it is unusual for papers to exceed 10 pages (in Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) style, including all images but excluding references). Papers should only be as long as their content would justify. Reviewers might rate a submission lower if it is perceived as being unnecessarily long. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary documents to provide extra content.
Submissions must be made using the Computer Graphics Forum style. Formatting information is available at <https://conferences.eg.org/egev20/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2019/09/egPub…> https://conferences.eg.org/egev20/wp-content/uploads/sites/11/2019/09/egPub…. A LaTeX style sheet is 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 all submissions.
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 can provide 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/licensing…https://authorservices.wiley.com/author-resources/Journal-Authors/open-acce…
Abstracts and full papers are submitted using the Precision Conference System (PCS): <https://new.precisionconference.com/eurovis> https://new.precisionconference.com/eurovis
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. Submitters should choose keywords and categories appropriate for their paper as this information is used in reviewer selection.

Call for Short Papers
Authors are invited to submit short papers [4 pages max] which present self-contained and complete works in all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering, modelling, visualisation, animation, simulation, virtual reality, computer vision, computer-aided design, digital fabrication and imaging. We particularly invite submissions which present tangible and practically useful improvements to the state of the art, but which are not thematically wide enough to justify an entire full paper. What we would like to see as short papers are individual smart ideas and intriguing findings that might otherwise remain unpublished, due to them standing in isolation - as opposed to falling within the context of some larger scientific endeavour, where they can be easily mentioned in the corresponding publication.
Accepted short papers will be published in the Short Papers digital media proceedings and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of accepted papers will be expected to present their work as an oral presentation at the conference.

Topic: Color Calibration Workflows in 3D
Objectives
Existing color calibration workflows typically target the 2D domain and standards are already well established. In 3D however, there is nothing … yet.
The main task is to extend existing or develop new color management workflows for photogrammetry and other techniques of 3D digitization, towards a unified and standardized pipeline establishing a faithful correspondence between the virtual 3D representation of an object and its physical appearance.
The candidate will closely collaborate with other international fellows within a European research project in order to build a bridge from physical object acquisition to its virtual representation and subsequently to its color-calibrated, 3D printed replica.
Expected results
The fellow is expected to:
* develop automated color-calibration workflows for autonomous 3D digitization technologies.
* publish relevant scientific research papers and reports.
* participate in standardization efforts of the color-science community for 3D color calibration.
Candidate profile
The candidate should:
* have a master degree in computer science and be fluent in English and C++.
* have a solid background in mathematics and image processing.
* be an independent thinker, proactive, responsible and efficient
* be a team-player, motivated for excellence
