CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS
All accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum
EuroVis 2016 is the 18th annual scientific gathering on visualization
jointly organized by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization
and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. EuroVis 2016
will be held in Groningen, The Netherlands from June 6-10, 2016.
For the first time, all accepted EuroVis 2016 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 being asked to submit an
initial sketch. A STAR sketch briefly describes the planned STAR by
outlining the topic, discussing its relevance for 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 is limited to three pages whereby the last page may only
contain references. The format of the sketch can be found at
http://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/ForSubmitters/SubmissionGuidelines.
STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR program co-chairs for suitability
and relevance, and the authors of accepted sketches will be invited to
submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single blind,
double cycle review, similar to the one for regular papers, where three
external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. Full
submissions are 25 pages maximum.
Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and
will be conducted using <https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/>
https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ according to the guidelines defined
at
<http://www.cs.rug.nl/jbi/eurovis2016/ForSubmitters/SubmissionGuidelines>

We plan to schedule each STAR as a 50-100 minute presentation as in
Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis
2016 program). In any circumstance, a STAR presentation will always be given
a longer time slot than that for a full paper.
For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs
