GCH 2018: Call for Papers The 16th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage held in Vienna, Austria, November 12-15, 2018 is organized in cooperation with <http://www.chnt.at> CHNT (Cultural Heritage and New Technologies) as <http://2018.visualheritage.org> Visual Heritage 2018 http://2018.visualheritage.org/ Important Dates Submission deadline regular papers June 20, 2018 Review notification (regular papers) August 6, 2018 Submission deadline short / project papers August 13, 2018 Review notification (other submission types) September 10, 2018 Submission of camera ready (regular papers) September 10, 2018 Submission of camera ready (other papers) September 21, 2018 Registration deadline speaker September 21, 2018 General Information Since 2018 is a key year for the Cultural Heritage community, two established communities working on the domain of ICT & CH have decided to join forces and organize a federated event. The aims of this federated event are: to bring two slightly different communities together in the same venue (one oriented to research in visual technology, the other focusing on the application of those technologies to CH); to share experiences and discuss methodologies concerning digital visual media and their use in the context of cultural heritage applications; and to enable an increased cross-fertilization among those communities and foster collaboration. GCH 2018 aims to establish an international dialogue between ICT experts and CH scientists to advance the understanding of critical requirements for processing, managing, and delivering cultural heritage information to a broad audience. The objective of the workshop is to introduce and showcase new techniques and applications for supporting Cultural Heritage information ranging from data acquisition, analysis and synthesis, 3D documentation, and data management, to new forms of interactive presentation and 3D printing solutions. Interdisciplinary approaches for analysis, classification and interpretation of cultural artefacts are particularly relevant to the event. GCH 2018 as part of Visual Heritage 2018 provides a scientific forum to exchange novel ideas and techniques in research, education and dissemination of Cultural Heritage information, to transfer them into practice, and identify future research and application opportunities. Topics We seek original, innovative and previously unpublished contributions in the visual computing area applied to digital cultural heritage, challenging the state-of-the-art solutions, presenting experiences and projects in this domain and leveraging new ideas for future developments. Equally, original contributions in the cultural heritage field of relevance to visual computing are welcome. Contributions are solicited in (but not limited to) the following areas: * 2/3/4D data acquisition and processing in Cultural Heritage * Multispectral imaging and data fusion * Digital acquisition, representation and communication of intangible heritage * Material acquisition analysis * Heterogeneous data collection, integration and management * 3D printing of cultural assets * Shape analysis and interpretation * Similarity search of digital artefacts * Visualization and Virtual Museums including storytelling and design of heritage communications * Multi-modal and interactive environments and applications for Cultural Heritage * Spatial and mobile augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations * Semantic-aware representation of digital artefacts (metadata, classification schemes, annotation) * Digital libraries, archiving and long-term preservation of 3D documents * Standards and documentation * Serious games in Cultural Heritage * Organizational aspects of cooperation between ICT and CH experts for project development * Best practices for deployment of novel ICT solution in the CH domain, including budgeting and maintenance * User demand and reception of ICT solutions in CH institutions In cooperation with CHNT, GCH is also planning for a half-day tutorial program, addressing practices and challenges in the important areas of acquisition and presentation of CH content. Paper Categories We accept four categories of papers: full papers, short papers, project papers, tutorials. Note that full papers and other paper categories have different deadlines as indicated above. Full papers showcase original research in visual heritage. Short papers showcase recent results, work in progress, and new ideas. Project papers offer an opportunity to present results of projects in the visual heritage field. Participants to the project presentation sessions will have a unique opportunity for the dissemination of their project developments and products to a broad multi-disciplinary, multi-national and multi-organisational community, which satisfies the core demand of dissemination and valorisation of every funded project.The paper should describe the research and development activities. Tutorials instruct participants about the background of visual heritage technologies. Tutorial proposals should include the topics to be covered in the presentation session. Presentation time will be longer than regular papers, please contact us for individual requirements. Page limits are 10 pages for full papers, and 4 pages for all other categories. Submission GCH 2018 uses the Submission and Review Management (SRM) system of EUROGRAPHICS. Online submission is now open on the SRM site, which also provides detailed information about the submission process: <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2018> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2018 Please use the EUROGRAPHICS LaTeX Package ( <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2018/GetConferenceFile?fileID=863 5> https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2018/GetConferenceFile?fileID=8635 ) to prepare your submission according to the EUROGRAPHICS style guide. Submissions can be accompanied by electronic supplementary material (e.g., images, video, demo). Submitted content must be original work; papers or summaries of papers that have already been published or submitted elsewhere (including in another language) are not acceptable as paper submission to GCH 2018 and will be rejected without review. Submitted papers will be carefully reviewed by members of the Program Committee and selected external reviewers. GCH 2018 uses a double-blind peer-review process to evaluate the submissions, so submission need to be properly anonymized. However, the complete information about all co-authors needs to be entered into SRM. All accepted papers will be published by the Eurographics Association and archived in the EG Digital Library. In addition, best papers will be selected and awarded at the conference; those will be invited in extended version for further review and publication in the ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (ACM JOCCH).

Expressive 2018: Submission deadlines extended

by eurographics＠eg.org

-=[ Expressive 2018 ]=- !!! Submission deadlines extended !!! === Call for Papers We would like to invite you to submit your work to Expressive 2018. Being at the forefront of expressive rendering research since 2012, Expressive 2018 (http://expressive.graphics/2018) will take place in Victoria, Canada, August 17-19, 2018 - shortly after SIGGRAPH 2018 (http://s2018.siggraph.org/) in Vancouver. A single registration for Expressive 2018 will include all three workshops. Invited talks and artists talks will be shared among the workshops and sessions will be mixed. The submission, review, and publication process for the event will be handled jointly across the three conferences. Expressive is a joint Symposium featuring the following workshops: * Computational Aesthetics (CAe) * Non-photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) * Sketch-based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM) Each paper submission should be designated as belonging to one of the three tracks. === Important dates for technical papers: * Abstract submission deadline (EXTENDED): *** April 11, 2018 *** * Paper submission deadline (EXTENDED): *** April 17, 2018 *** * Acceptance notification: May 8, 2018 * Camera-ready submission: June 5, 2018 All deadlines are at 23:59:59 UTC/GMT. === Computational Aesthetics (CAe) Computational Aesthetics integrates the bridging aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. CAe investigates both tools to enhance the expressiveness of fine and applied arts, as well as theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. === Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering investigates computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually focuses on imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. === Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling focuses on the exploration of models, algorithms, and technologies for efficient sketch-based interfaces. It investigates the classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, text, mathematics or 3D shapes. === Submission Types Paper submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Expressive. We welcome papers in several categories: * Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional academic papers). These must contain novel results that make a substantive contribution to the field. * Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library). We are equally interested in papers on the use of existing techniques combined in novel ways, or applying them in a new or unusual context. * Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience. We welcome papers that discuss the challenges of bridging computational expression across disciplines. Accepted papers will be published as a single conference proceedings by the ACM and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Papers will also be archived in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit extended versions of their manuscripts to be considered for publication in a special section of Computers & Graphics journal (Elsevier) via a fast-track review process. Topics include, but are not limited to: * Analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life) * Simulation of natural media, traditional styles, and novel artistic styles * Analysis of image style and saliency (paintings, photographs, others) * Visualization techniques * Simplification and abstraction techniques (e.g. sketching, indication) * Empirically-based metrics of aesthetic attributes * Applied visual perception * Interaction techniques (e.g. sketch, gestural, multi-touch, multi-modal) * Sketch-parsing, classification and recognition * Novel interfaces for art creation, modeling, control, sketch input, etc. * Study designs and methodologies for evaluating and validating sketch-based systems, aesthetic metrics, visual communication systems, etc. * Advanced rendering techniques (e.g. volumetric, GPU, mobile, multi-modal) * Applications in special domains: Medicine, Geology, Biology, Sociology, etc. * Sketch-based information retrieval * Stylistic or aesthetic aspects of character animation and simulated physics * Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films, digital art) or applications in software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) * Visual composition * Design, rendering, and evaluation of layouts for text and presentation graphics * Example-based style transfer * Temporal and spatial coherence * Aesthetic evaluation and stylistic rendering of visual effects such as motion blur, depth of field, and lighting * Non-traditional camera models === Submission Information All work must be previously unpublished. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results, but must make a substantive contribution to the knowledge in the field. Papers should be 8-10 pages in length (excluding citations). Papers longer than 10 pages must make a very significant contribution. Paper submission is electronic using the EasyChair system. For detailed instructions to submit papers, posters, videos and other materials, please view the submission instructions. Please also consult the conference webpage for detailed submission instructions for general submissions and journal presentations, in addition to technical papers: http://expressive.graphics/2018/submissions/ Best Regards, Tunc Aydin, Expressive 2018 Paper Chair Disney Research Zurich, Switzerland Daniel Sykora, Expressive 2018 Paper Chair Czech Technical University in Prague, Czech Republic Li Ji, Organization Chair University of Victoria, Canada
