Short Papers submission deadline
January 5, 2024
Call for Short Papers
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, imaging and computational photography. 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we would like to see as short papers are individual smart ideas and intriguing findings that might otherwise remain unpublished, due to them standing in isolation – as opposed to falling within the context of some larger scientific endeavour, where they can be easily mentioned in the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.
Timeline
* January 5, 2024 Submission deadline
* February 23, 2024 Notification to Authors
* March 22, 2024 Camera-ready version due
* April 5, 2024 Fast-Forward video due
* April 22, 2024 Conference
* All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC
Submission details
Submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2024S> Submission and Review Management (SRM) system. 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 <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2022/Instruction> SRM 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.
arXiv Policy
As authors, putting a submission on a repository like arXiv is allowed, either before submission or during the review cycle. There is no penalty for publishing a submission as a prepublication. However, if there are largely overlapping prepublications of the same authors that are available online at the time of submission (arXiv), earlier or largely similar versions of the submission should not be cited in the submission because this would identify the authors. This is consistent with the submission guidelines at SIGGRAPH and CVPR/ECCV/ICCV. After submission, the authors should try to preserve the anonymity of the submission. Specifically, the following list clarifies what is allowed and what not.
Allowed:
* arXiv postings before and after the submission deadline. Do not state that the submission is under review for Eurographics.
* YouTube video on personal account. Do not show submission id or anything that could relate to as a Eurographics submission. Authors can link the videos from the arXiv page or personal web page.
* Code release on personal code repositories (e.g., github). Authors can link the code repository from the arXiv or personal web page.
* It is ok to list submissions in job applications and in interviews as long as they are not referred to as Eurographics submissions.
* It is ok to present the work in non-public venues in particular job talks as long as they are not referred to as Eurographics submissions.
* It is ok to list submissions on author’s webpages as long as they are not referred to as Eurographics submissions.
* It is ok to publicize the work via authors’ social media as long as they are not referred to as Eurographics submissions.
Not allowed:
* It is not allowed to list submissions on institutional websites irrespective of the presentation form.
* No publicity via university or company PR teams regardless of whether authors or institutions are kept anonymous – this includes any postings or dissemination via institutional or promoted social media accounts.
* No media interviews regardless of mainstream media or tech-focused outlets (small-scale, non-public seminars are allowed).
* Do not post papers or supplementary material on university, company, or other private servers that may identify preprints as Eurographics submissions.

SHREC2024 - 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge 2024
http://www.shrec.net/
<https://3dor2024.dcc.uchile.cl/> At Eurographics 2024 Symposium on 3D
Object Retrieval, 26-27 August 2024
Nota bene: Full paper submissions will follow a two-stage review process and
will be published in the international journal Computes & Graphics upon
acceptance.
We strongly encourage to consider the graphics replicability stamp
initiative, <http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/>
http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, and to apply for this additional sign of
recognition.
Introduction
The general objective of the 3D Shape Retrieval Challenge is to evaluate the
effectiveness of 3D-shape retrieval algorithms. SHREC2024 is the nineteenth
edition of the challenge. Like previous years, it is organized in
conjunction with the Eurographics Symposium on 3D Object Retrieval, where
the results will be reviewed and presented at the symposium.
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
training and 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 peer reviewed, and published in Computers & Graphics upon acceptance. At
least one author per track must register for the symposium, and present the
results. The registration must be unique for the paper, multiple papers on
one registration does not count. We also cordially invite all other
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 molecular),
and various aspects such as metric learning, outlier detection,
correspondence, robustness, stability, registration, classification,
recognition, pose estimation, and machine learning, and change detection.
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, the procedural aspects, writing the final
paper in collaboration with the collaborators, and submitting it. See below
for examples of previous SHREC editions. We strongly encourage to consider
the graphics replicability stamp initiative,
<http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/> http://www.replicabilitystamp.org/, to
apply for this additional sign of recognition, and to include this in your
track proposal.
Procedure
The following list is a step-by-step description of the activities:
* Potential track organizers send their proposal to
<mailto:shrec@cs.uu.nl> shrec(a)cs.uu.nl, describing the envisioned task,
collection, queries, ground truth, evaluation method, expected number of
participants, and plans to apply for the graphics replicability stamp.
* Promising tracks and their organizers will be listed at the SHREC
web page, the track organizers start working out the details and recruite
participants.

1st Workshop on Visual Process Analytics (VIPRA 2024)
- May 27th, 2024 (in conjunction with EuroVis 2024), Odense, Denmark –
https://vipra-workshop.github.io/homepage/
#####################################################
Call for Papers
----------------
The 2024 Workshop on Visual Process Analytics (Vipra 2024) is the 1st annual workshop that provides an opportunity for participants to discuss state-of-the-art event visualization and process mining and learn how both techniques can mutually benefit each other. In this workshop we aim to bring together researchers from both Visual Analytics and Process Mining, to learn, create a common language, spark collaborations, and advance both fields.
Process Mining is a data-driven discipline that focuses on extracting valuable insights and knowledge from the vast amount of event data generated within organizations. It involves the discovery, analysis, and improvement of process models by leveraging techniques from data science, machine learning, and data analytics. By examining event logs and historical data, process mining aims to provide a clear, objective view of how processes actually operate, identifying bottlenecks, deviations, and opportunities for optimization. In turn, this supports organizations in making more data-informed decisions, and enhance operational efficiency.
Visual analytics is an interdisciplinary field that combines data visualization, analytical techniques, and interactive interfaces to help people make sense of complex and often large datasets. It focuses on using the power of visual representations to facilitate data exploration, pattern recognition, and decision-making. By enabling users to interact with data through graphical interfaces, visual analytics promotes a deeper understanding of information, uncovers hidden insights, and supports the detection of trends, anomalies, and relationships that might be challenging to discern through traditional data analysis methods alone.
We believe that process mining and visual analytics can mutually benefit each other. Until now, there has been limited interaction between the two fields, despite their shared objectives. In process mining, the emphasis has traditionally been on data extraction and process discovery, often neglecting the visualization aspect, whereas in visual analytics, event visualization efforts have often overlooked the wealth of process mining techniques that can enhance visualizations and analysis. Bridging this gap and fostering collaboration between the two fields will not only lead to more informed, efficient, and data-driven improvements in various domains but also advance the research and innovation in both process mining and visual analytics, ultimately contributing to a more holistic and integrated approach to understanding and optimizing complex processes.
Topics and Scope
----------------
We encourage submissions from all areas on the intersection of visual analytics and process mining.
The 2024 Workshop on Visual Process Analytics will cover a range of topics exploring the intersection of PM and VA including (but not limited to):
- VA to support exploration and comparison of discovered process models
- VA to support the comparison of event logs and process models, e.g., in conformance checking
- VA to support the generation of hypotheses about the business process and the identification of process improvement ideas
- VA to represent temporal and spatial uncertainty in PM models
- Research challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities related to the intersection of VA and PM
- The role of AI in PM, and how Visualization and explainable-AI solutions can support model comprehension, exploration, and refinement
Paper Submission and Format Guidelines
--------------------------------------
