Call for Short Papers
EUROGRAPHICS'2021 in Vienna, Austria, May 3-7, 2021, conferences.eg.org/eg2021 <http://conferences.eg.org/eg2021> ---> enjoy Vienna !
Authors are invited to submit short papers [4 pages max] that present self-contained, complete, compact works on all areas related to computer graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, 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we would like to see as short papers are individual smart ideas and intriguing findings that might otherwise remain unpublished, due to them standing in isolation – as opposed to falling within the context of some larger scientific endeavour, where they can be easily mentioned in the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.

Submission details
Submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRM) system <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021S> . Submitted papers must be anonymous, up to 4 pages in length, and formatted according to the Eurographics Author’s guidelines (short papers LaTeX style package available from the SRM <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021/Instruction> system).
Authors of accepted papers will present a super short summary or a teaser during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds (exact length to be decided) and shall 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 Short 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.
Double Submission Policy
By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Short 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.

The Graphics & Imaging Lab (University of Zaragoza, Spain), is looking for candidates for one PhD position within our project VIRTUALIGHT: Virtual optics for transient imaging. The successful candidate will be working towards a PhD degree along a four-year contract.
The project comes up from a generalization of our recent Nature paper in which we derive a new formulation called phasor fields which allowed to model the non-line-of-sight problem (to look through corners, or specifically to reconstruct the geometry of an occluded scene through its reflection on an opaque, diffuse wall), as a line-of-sight (direct vision) problem with a virtual optical system, computationally modeled. This allows to solve it by means of typical wave propagation operators, with significantly improved results in occluded scenes with much more complexity. This paper is a milestone which sets the path to solving more complex and/or badly conditioned image and vision problems by their (virtual) computational transformation into more simple problems, which is the basis of this project.
The project research field is threefold:
* Computer graphics and computational imaging.
* Computer vision and deep learning.
* Optics and light transport.
Specific research tasks within the project will be shaped to the candidate’s profile. The deadline for submitting applications is 13-27 October through Spain’s Ministry of Science and Innovation site. For further details and assistance with the application procedure, please contact the project Principal Investigators: Diego Gutiérrez [diegog AT unizar DOT es] and Adolfo Muñoz [adolfo AT unizar DOT es].

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/.
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).

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 has two submission deadlines: early submission in December and regular
submission typically in February. This offers authors the flexibility to
choose between two separate submission deadlines. The early submission
deadline also provides the opportunity of improving manuscripts and
resubmitting them to the regular deadline in case they are not successful in
the early review phase, resembling a major revision review process. An FAQ
about the early submission process can be found at the bottom of this email.
Please notice also that this year there are again abstract deadlines one
week in advance to the paper deadlines.
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.
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 will be updated soon with
more details on submission.
Important Dates:
December 7, 2020 - Early Submission Abstract Deadline
December 14, 2020 - Early Submission Paper Deadline
January 25, 2021 - Early Submission Notification
Regular Submission deadline: expected to be late February
For additional information, please contact us via papers(a)egpgv.org.

Program Co-Chair: Matthew Larsen, Lawrence Livermore, USA
Program Co-Chair: Filip Sadlo, Heidelberg University, Germany
FAQ on Early Submission:
Q: What happens if my paper is accepted in the early submission review
cycle?
A: Your paper will have the exact same status as any paper accepted during
the regular submission review cycle. It will appear in the proceedings and
you will present your paper at EGPGV21.
Q: Who can benefit from the early submission process?
A: There are benefits whether the paper is accepted or not accepted. For
accepted papers, the benefit is in getting acceptance earlier and having
more time for, e.g., travel organization. For multiple minor revisions,
major revisions, and rejected papers, the benefit is in effectively adding a
revision cycle, i.e., getting feedback from the early submission and then
submitting the revised paper to the regular submission deadline.
Q: If I do not submit to the early submission deadline, can I still submit
to the regular submission deadline?
A: Yes, you can absolutely submit to only the regular submission deadline.
Q: What is the timeline for the regular submission deadline?
A: We are still in discussions with Eurographics with respect to
camera-ready deadlines. Traditionally, EGPGV has a submission deadline of
late February and a notification of early April. We expect the timeline for
the regular submissions to match this traditional schedule.
Q: What paths can an early submission take?
- It might be accepted straightaway on January 25.
- It could be conditionally accepted on January 25, which would require a
revision on February 8. This could result in an accept, another conditional
accept, or a reject on February 15. In case of another conditional accept,
the revision will be due at the regular submission deadline. In case of a
reject, the work can be resubmitted as new at the regular submission
deadline.
- It could receive a major revision decision on January 25, which would be
due at the regular submission deadline.
- It could be rejected on January 25. In this case, the work can still be
resubmitted as new at the regular submission deadline.

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

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.
