About SCA
The 17th annual Symposium on Computer Animation (SCA) will be held in Paris in France, July 11-13, and the symposium will be hosted at the "Maison des Mines" in the center of Paris.
SCA is the premier forum for innovations in the software and technology of computer animation. It unites researchers and practitioners working on all aspects of time-based phenomena. Our focused, intimate gathering, with single track program and emphasis on community interaction, makes SCA the best venue to exchange research results, get inspired, and set up collaborations.

Post doctorate in Geovisualization 18 months
Multi-scale spatiotemporal urban data visualization for urban communication
and development
TyCiTy Project
Territories constantly need to evolve in order to face demographic,
energetic, environmental, economic and heritage-related challenges. The dual
pressure of constrained financial resources and civic expectations calls for
tools to predict and explain those evolutions. 3D visualization and mapping
tools were designed to meet those needs. However, software solutions
struggle to find their place, as they require constant updating. This has
led to the generating of numerous, expensive and ill-adapted city modelling
generators. The TyCiTy project proposes to design an innovative production
tool for 3D modelling of the territory, in order to understand its
evolutions and to plan for the future. Its users, whether they are
communities or private actors, will be able to create autonomously 3D
communication models from their own GIS data, to predict visualization
routes, and thus to communicate better on the territory.
The TyCiTy is a SME research project from the Images&Réseaux Centre
(2018-2020).
Missions
* To elaborate scenarios for urban data use in collaboration with the
users (communities, urban planning agencies, planners);
* To propose methods for the multi-scale spatiotemporal urban data
visualization for urban communication and development;
* To participate in the prototyping and to carry out user tests.
Key words
Geomatics, information visualization, urban data models, spatiotemporal
data, user tests.

Machine Learning Methods in Visualisation for Big Data 2018
Tutorial co-located with EuroVis 2018, June 4, 2018, Brno, Czech Republic
Call for Papers
Machine Learning Methods in Visualisation will be held as part of EuroVis
2018 in Brno, Czech Republic. After two years of tutorials, the third
edition of this co-located event will have a new format to become
part-tutorial and part-workshop so as to increase the interaction between
researchers. This year, part of the programme will consist of short papers
from the machine learning and visualisation communities on how the two
technologies can be used together to provide greater insight to end users.
MLVis 2018 solicits short papers of 4 pages excluding references (5 pages in
total) on the topic of machine learning methods in visualisation. These
should be formatted using the EuroVis 2018 style. The short papers will be
published on the EuroVis memory stick and as part of the EG Digital Library.
Papers are intended to present works in progress and will be presented
during the workshop as a 15 minute presentation (15min + 5min questions).
Papers must have both a machine learning and visualisation component or must
influence both fields in some way.
The workshop chairs this year plan to review submissions in a single round
review cycle. All submissions should be made using the Precision Conference
System (PCS).

EuroVis 2018 Short Paper Track
Call for Papers
Deadline: March 2, 2018, 23:59 GMT
----------------------------------
For the seventh time, EuroVis 2018 (June 4-8, 2018, Brno, Czech Republic)
features a short paper track to present late-breaking results,
work-in-progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing
methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind
process by an international program committee. They will be electronically
archived in the EG Digital Library and are fully citable publications. All
accepted short papers will be presented orally at the conference.
A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research
contribution, and is likely to have a smaller - yet still significant -
scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same
paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics.
The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to
full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may
be suitable for short papers:
* A new visualization technique or system, with evidence of its utility
compared to known techniques or systems (described in sufficient detail to
assist an expert reader in replicating the technique or system, but without
exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation).
* An incremental improvement or variation of an existing visualization
technique or system with convincing evaluation.
* An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization technique or system.
* A well-proven counter-example to an existing visualization technique that
helps in understanding its limitations.
* A new implementation approach that has demonstrably addressed a
significant technical issue (without extensive evaluation of the
implementation).
* A new methodology for designing or studying visualization systems that
has demonstrable benefits for the visualization community (without extensive
evaluation of the methodology).
Submission Information
----------------------
Submissions for the short paper track should be at most 4 pages, with an
additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original
works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings,
magazine, journal, or edited book.
For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions, please refer to
the guidelines in the Submitter Area on the conference web page at
http://www.eurovis2018.org/submitters-short-papers/. Note that the LaTeX
submission template for short papers is included in that for full papers and
can be found also on the short paper submission instructions linked above.
For any questions concerning short paper submissions, please contact the
co-chairs: short(a)eurovis2018.org
Important Dates
---------------
* Mar. 2, 2018: Submission deadline
* Mar. 30, 2018: Notification of acceptance
* Apr. 20, 2018: Camera-ready version
All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT.

"Workshop on Molecular Graphics and Visual Analysis of Molecular Data"
(co-located with EuroVis 2018), June 4, 2018, Brno, Czech Republic
************************************************************************
Molecular visualization is one of the oldest branches of scientific
visualization, which has been developing for over 50 years. Due to the
continuous advances in both computational biology and computer graphics
techniques, molecular graphics and visualization are still very active areas
of research. Not only the ever-increasing dataset sizes yield a constant
challenge for visual analysis, but also new technologies like advances in
web-based graphics or augmented and virtual reality open new possibilities.
In this half-day workshop, which is held for the first time in conjunction
with EuroVis, we would like to initiate a multidisciplinary meeting which
brings visualization researchers together working with molecular data.
Whereas molecular graphics is an established topic since many years, the
hybrid-dimensional visual analysis of molecular structures is still a quite
new research field with a lot of potential. We would like to encourage
submissions especially using new technologies, such as immersive
analytics-related approaches.
We invite short papers as well as full papers (2-4 pages for short and up to
8 pages for full papers, both with an additional page reserved for
references). All papers will undergo a single-stage, double-blind peer
review process. Accepted papers will be published in the EG digital library.
The workshop will be held in Brno, Czech Republic, June 4th, 2018 as part of
EuroVis 2018.
Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:
- Molecular Graphics
- Visual Analysis of Molecular Data (e.g., molecular structures, biological
networks and pathways, or omics data)
- Visualization of Dynamic Molecular Data
- Visualization of Large Molecular Systems
- Web-based Molecular Graphics and Visualization
- Immersive Analytics approaches using, e.g., VR/AR technologies
