15th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage Graz, Austria,
September 27-29, 2017 <http://gch17.tugraz.at/> http://gch17.tugraz.at/
Short Paper and Poster Abstract Deadline: July 21, 2017
Notification: August 15, 2017
The 15th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH
2017) aims to foster 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 2017 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. To advance the dialogue between ICT and CH experts, GCH 2017
will be held in close cooperation with the Museumsakademie of the
Universalmuseum Joanneum in Graz, providing opportunity for exchange between
the domains.
Within this workshop, there is a specific short paper track, that encourages
researchers to present their most recent work in a condensed way. Short
paper submissions must describe original and unpublished work. While a short
paper is not a shortened long paper, the characteristics of short papers
include: late-breaking results; a small, focused contribution; work in
progress; a negative result; follow-up extensions; evaluations of existing
methods; an interesting application nugget. Each short paper submission
consists of up to four (4) pages of content, plus unlimited pages for
references; reviewers' comments must be taken into account in the final
version. Each short paper submission will be reviewed by program committee
members. A submission can be accompanied by electronic supplementary
material (e.g. images, video, demo). Topics lie in the area of visual
computing applied to digital cultural heritage, challenging the state of the
art solutions and leveraging new ideas for future developments. Equally,
original contributions in the cultural heritage field of relevance to visual
computing are welcome.
Please use the EUROGRAPHICS LaTeX Package
( <http://gch17.tugraz.at/conference_participation.html>
http://gch17.tugraz.at/conference_participation.html) to prepare your
submission according to the EUROGRAPHICS style guide. Please note that the
GCH 2017 uses a double-blind peer-review process to evaluate the
submissions. Each submission should also be complete with all co-authors'
information entered into the submission system Submission and Review
Management (SRM) provided by the EUROGRAPHICS. Please submit your paper to
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2017>
https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2017. All accepted short papers
will be published by the Eurographics Association and archived in the EG
Digital Library. Note, that summaries of full papers that have already been
published or submitted elsewhere (including in another language) are not
acceptable as short-paper submission to GCH 2017.
Furthermore, GCH 2017 offers scientists as well as practitioners the
opportunity to present their work within the framework of a Poster session
in order to present latest or already published work. Here, both scientific
and practice-oriented contributions are welcome. To participate at the
poster session we invite you to submit an abstract (about 400 words
describing the core of the poster) to
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2017>
https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2017. The abstracts will not be
published in the proceedings, however they will be published and shared at
the GCH 2017 webpage.

COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2017 (CGVC2017)
The 35th Annual Conference organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics
Association, 14-15 September 2017, Manchester Metropolitan University, UK
http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2017/
The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK
working in computer graphics and visual computing. It attracts researchers
from across the country and from further afield.
The 2017 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an
overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to focus on
increasing the dialogue between academic research groups, researchers in
academic and in industrial developments. In order to facilitate such
dialogue, we are seeking contributions mainly in the form of extended
abstract and industrial demonstrations. However, we also welcome submissions
of full papers.
Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed research. Papers
will be refereed by members of the EGUK programme committee. Authors of
accepted papers will be expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the
conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital library
and will count as full paper publications.
Extended abstract - an abstract of up to 1000 words, plus figures and
references. An extended abstract can describe work in progress, interim
results, industrial work, or research presented more fully elsewhere.
Extended abstracts will also be refereed by a panel drawn from the EGUK
programme committee. All accepted extended abstracts will be presented as
posters in a poster session and authors of selected submissions will also be
expected to give a 15 minute presentation at the conference.
Industrial project abstracts - a technical abstract of 1 to 4 pages,
demonstrating implementations and/or product development. Technical
abstracts will be presented at the conference site as large format posters
during a poster session.
Accepted abstracts will appear in the Eurographics digital library. An
extended abstract and industrial project abstract will not be considered as
a full paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page
sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such,
presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your
ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. See
full instruction at the conference website.
Topics include but are not limited to:
● Computer animation and image-based animation
● Computer-based arts and entertainment
● Vision-based techniques and image processing
