CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS
All accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum
Important Upcoming Dates
Submission of STAR sketch (two pages +references+bibliography): 13 October 2017
Invitation for full STAR submission: 3 November 2017
Submission of full STAR: 2 February 2018
EuroVis 2018 is the 20th annual scientific gathering on visualization
jointly organized by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization
and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. EuroVis
2018 will be held in Brno, Czech Republic, from 4-8 June 2018.
Like last year, all accepted EuroVis 2018 STAR reports will be published
in Computer Graphics Forum. State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) are intended
to provide up-to-date and comprehensive surveys on topics of interest to
the visualization research community. We encourage the submission of
STARs on topics that have not yet been covered in any recent previous
STAR or other survey. We welcome submissions that introduce emerging
technologies, as well as proposals on more traditional visualization
topics. We also welcome contributions from related disciplines and
application areas demonstrating contributions to, or benefits from,
the area of visualization including, but not limited to, visual computing,
computer graphics, human-computer interaction, virtual reality,
image processing, computer vision, psychology, geography, chemistry,
computational fluid dynamics, data analysis, computational sciences,
medicine, biology, economy, politology, etc.
As part of the acceptance process into Computer Graphics Forum, STARs
will undergo a multi-stage process. First, authors are asked to submit
an initial sketch by 13 October 2017. A STAR sketch briefly describes the
planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance to the
visualization community, providing the planned structure and outline of
the STAR together with all key references, and short biographies of the
authors. The length of a STAR sketch main text is limited to two pages.
References and short biographies are considered supplementary pages and
are not counted within the two page limit. Bibliographies are be limited
to 200 words per author. The format of the sketch can be found at
http://www.eurovis2018.org/
STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC and comments on suitability
and relevance will be provided by 3 Nov 2016. Authors will then be required
to submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single
blind, double cycle review, similar to the one for regular papers submitted
to Computer Graphics Forum, where three external experts on the respective
topic will evaluate the STAR. Full submissions are 25 pages maximum. To
demonstrate the relevant expertise needed to produce the proposed STAR,
authors are required to submit the brief biographies of all authors as
supplementary materials.
Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and
will be conducted using https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ according to
the guidelines defined at:
http://www.eurovis2018.org/
We plan to schedule each STAR as an approximately 45 minute presentation
(subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis 2018 program). In any
circumstance, a STAR presentation will be given a longer time slot than
that for a full paper.
