[General] Call for Papers: EuroVis 2014 STAR Track

Dear colleague, we would like to bring to your attention that the deadline for the first call for EuroVis State-of-the-Art Reports is slowly approaching. The deadline for submissions is 24th of January 2014 and the submission through the <http://www.precisionconference.com/~vgtc/> www.precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ has now been opened. More details on the submission process are posted on the dedicated webpage: <http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/submission-guidelines.htm> http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/submission-guidelines.htm. We welcome all areas of basic visualization research and also surveys from interesting visualization application areas. The submission should be an advanced draft of the report, between 10-20 pages long in the Eurographics formatting style. The report should be original unpublished material, although its basis can be a state-of-the-art chapter of a recent Dissertation, for example. For more information about the formatting guidelines, please refer to the dedicated webpage: <http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/author-guidelines.htm> http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/author-guidelines.htm. Please note that although we have taken Eurographics STAR Track as the basis for designing the EuroVis STAR Track, there are two notable differences: 1. Full Length Submission: Unlike with Eurographics STARs (which are typically extended abstracts as an option), EuroVis STARs submissions are expected to be an advanced draft of the report. 2. Open Peer Review Process: The authors of the reports as well as the report reviewers will be disclosed during the transparent reviewing process. Moreover, accepted STARs will list the names of the expert reviewers of the reports. We are looking forward to your submission to the first EuroVis STAR track! Best wishes from, Rita Borgo, Ross Maciejewski, and Ivan Viola EuroVis STAR Chairs
