EuroVis 2019: call for posters

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Posters Deadline: April 15, 2019, 23:59 GMT (has been extended by a week!!) EuroVis 2019 (3-7 June 2018, in Porto, Portugal) features a posters track. The posters track will present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions, application case studies, or evaluations of existing methods. In particular, it provides young researchers, especially postgraduate students, with valuable opportunities to receive feedback from other researchers and engage in stimulating discussions. Submission Instructions We solicit poster submissions in the form of a sketch (i.e., an extended abstract of at most 2 pages in the EuroVis poster format, with an additional page allowed for references only).We strongly encourage the submission of additional materials. For example, you can submit an additional PDF (without any page limit) that contains a number of example results, screenshots, an interaction sequence, etc. The poster draft can also be added as additional material (but is not mandatory for the submission). Finally, submissions can also include supplementary material such as videos or executable programs. In particular for interactive tools/approaches, a digital video is essential and thus strongly encouraged to allow the reviewers to assess the interactive aspects. Poster sketches are to be submitted using the Precision Conference System ( <http://new.precisionconference.com/> PCS). At least one author of an accepted poster must attend the conference to present the work, and authors will also be required to present a brief (less than one-minute) summary of their poster content at the opening preview session (also called fast-forward). Both a PDF version of the poster and the extended abstract will be included on the conference USB stick and also in the EG digital library with a DOI. The material in a poster/sketch can later be reused by the original authors for a more extensive publication (e.g., a full paper) with more detailed content and mature results, without being considered self-plagiarism. For detailed poster preparation and submission instructions please refer to the submission guidelines (http://eurovis2019.tecnico.ulisboa.pt/posters/). Important Dates * April 15, 2019: Submission deadline * April 28, 2019: Notification of acceptance * May 05, 2019: Camera-ready version All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT.

VCBM 2019 - Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

VCBM 2019 Call for Papers http://www.vcbm.org/ Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine 2019 in Brno, Czech Republic *) Workshop Dates: September 4-6, 2019 *) Submission Deadline: June 14, 2019 Aims and Scope EG VCBM (http://www.vcbm.org/), the Eurographics Workshop on Visual Computing for Biology and Medicine, is an annual event addressing the state of the art in visual computing research with a strong focus on applications in biology and medicine. It provides an interdisciplinary forum for experts (researchers and practitioners) from visualization, visual analytics, computer graphics, image processing, computer vision, human-computer interfaces as well as experts from biology and medicine, jointly working on next generation visual computing solutions for medicine, healthcare and the biotechnology sector. This years workshop (already the 9th VCBM since its foundation in 2008) will be held during September 4-6, 2019, in Brno, Czech Republic. EG VCBM solicits the submission of original, application-oriented research papers that advance the fusion of visual computing methods within medicine and biology. All papers (regular papers as well as short papers) should focus on a well-defined biological/medical problem, and demonstrate a significant innovation or improvement in visual computing. Suggested topics for full and short papers include, but are not limited to: *) Visual computing solutions for medical applications like radiology, surgery, pathology, cardiology, nephrology, neurology, etc., including medical education *) Visual computing solutions for applications that support biomedical research in systems biology, *omics research, molecular pathology, neuroanatomy, biomedical imaging, etc. *) Operation room of the future, including the uses of virtual reality and augmented reality in medical applications. *) Visualization approaches for data from new or challenging imaging modalities including real-time imaging (e.g., ultrasound) *) Visual computing solutions in the context of the virtual physiological human. Medical simulation and visual computing solutions that support new approaches in computational medicine. *) Visual analytics solutions for data coming from epidemiological studies, like population studies. In addition to that, we solicit: *) Survey papers on visual computing in biology and medicine Information for Authors In addition to full-length papers, there will be again a short papers track and a survey track, encouraging scientific contributions from an even more diverse group of researchers and practitioners. All VCBM 2019 papers (full, short and surveys) will be peer-reviewed and will appear in the Eurographics Digital Library. We encourage the use of digital videos to support all submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs such as MP4 to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view it. *) Full Papers: 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 CGF latex style including all images and 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 or might recommend it for a short paper, instead. Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos or executable programs to provide extra contents. As in previous years, the authors of the best three papers will be invited by the Computer Graphics Forum (CGF) journal to submit a revised version, which needs to have a significant amount of novel material, and be within the focus subjects of the CGF journal. *) Short Papers: Short papers describe a more focused and concise research contribution and are likely to have a smaller - yet significant - scope of contribution. Potential examples include the presentation of initial results from novel ongoing research projects or the exploration of new application areas. Short papers draw from the same list of topics as full papers. Their length is limited to a total of 5 pages (including references). *) Surveys: We do not impose strict maximum lengths for submitted papers to the surveys track. However, it is unusual for surveys to exceed 20 pages (in CGF latex style including all images and references). Authors are encouraged to use supplementary material, such as videos, to provide extra contents. Surveys are also eligible for the CGF journal invitation. VCBM 2019 will also feature a poster program, the details of which will be announced in a separate call. Submission Instructions Papers can be submitted using the Eurographics SRM conference management system here: https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2019 <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/VCBM_2019%0d> Login with your existing SRM account, or create a new one using the relevant links. More information on the preparation of your submissions will also be available on the VCBM 2019 website: <http://www.vcbm.org/> http://www.vcbm.org/ Important Dates *) Paper submission deadline (full, short and survey papers): June 14, 2019 *) Author notification: July 12, 2019 *) Camera-ready deadline: August 2, 2019 *) Workshop: September 4-6, 2019 All deadlines are at 23:59 CET (UTC+1). Sincerely, the Full Paper Co-Chairs of EG VCBM 2019, Barbora Kozlikova (Masaryk University, Czech Republic) Lars Linsen (University of Münster, Germany) Pere-Pau Vazquez (Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain) together with the Short Paper Co-Chairs of EG VCBM 2019, Kai Lawonn (Universität Koblenz-Landau, Germany ) Renata Georgia Raidou (TU Wien, Austria)
