EuroGraphics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV) Call
For Papers, submission deadline March 8, 2019
Webpage: https://egpgv.org/egpgv2019/
Questions: <mailto:papers@egpgv.org> papers(a)egpgv.org
Best papers from the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended
journal version to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
== About EGPGV ==
The importance of parallel computing is increasing rapidly with the
ubiquitous 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. The aim of this symposium is to foster the
exchange of experiences and knowledge exploiting and defining new trends in
parallel graphics and visualization. The proceedings of the EuroGraphics
Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV) will be published
in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and in the Eurographics Digital
Library.
EGPGV19 will be collocated with EuroVis2019, held the week of June 3-7 2019,
in Porto, Portugal.
The symposium 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.
Best papers from the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended
journal version to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.
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.
== Submission details ==
We will once again have submission options for full papers (8 to 10
pages in the Eurographics format) and short papers (up to 4 pages). The
EGPGV webpage will be updated soon with more details on submission
instructions.

3D Shape Retrieval Contest, SHREC 2019, http://www.shrec.net/
Call for Track Proposals
*Introduction*
The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Contest is to evaluate the
effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC'19 is the thirteens
edition of the contest. Like previous years, it is organized in conjunction
with the Eurographics Workshop on 3D Object Retrieval, where the results
will be reviewed and included in the workshop proceedings.
Thanks to the efforts of previous track organizers, SHREC already provides
many resources to compare and evaluate 3D retrieval methods. For this year's
contest, we aim to explore new and updated tracks. Therefore, the
participants are invited to have an active role in the organization of the
event. This includes proposing track themes, building or acquiring a test
collection, and deciding upon the queries, relevance assessment, and
performance measures.
The participants of each track will collectively write a paper, which will
be published in the proceedings of the Eurographics Workshop 3D Object
Retrieval 2019, http://3dor2019.ge.imati.cnr.it/. At least one author per
track must register for the workshop, and present the results. We also
cordially invite all participants of a track to register and attend the
workshop.
*Tracks*
The tracks organized in the past years have covered different aspects and
tasks of 3D shape retrieval, for example: rigid or non-rigid models; partial
(e.g. range scan) or complete models; sketch-based 3D retrieval; generic or
domain specific models (e.g. CAD, biometrics, architectural and protein),
and various aspects such as metric learning, outlier detection,
correspondence, robustness, stability, registration, classification,
recognition, pose estimation, and machine learning.
Now we solicit again proposals for tracks. You may opt for one of the above
themes, or propose new ones. Track organizers are responsible for all
aspects of organizing the track, such as: the task, the data collection
(copyright issues, etc.), the queries, the ground truth, the experimental
design, the evaluation method, and the procedural aspects, writing the final
paper in collaboration with the contestants, and submitting it. See the
SHREC home page http://www.shrec.net/ for examples of organizational aspects
of previous tracks.
*Procedure*
The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities:
. Potential track organizers send their proposal to shrec(a)cs.uu.nl,
describing the envisioned task, collection, queries, ground truth,
evaluation method, and expected number of participants.
