CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS

EUROGRAPHICS 2015

May 4-8, 2015

Zurich, Switzerland

** NEW for EG 2015: Accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum **

State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic

of current interest related to Computer Graphics. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to

EUROGRAPHICS, and particularly encourage STARs on topics that have not been covered in any recent

previous STAR. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different

scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, please refer

to the EUROGRAPHICS digital library.

At EUROGRAPHICS 2015, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level

that also allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow this presentation.

For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs co-chairs by e-mail

(kai.hormann@usi.ch and oliver.staadt@uni-rostock.de).

SUBMISSION DETAILS

This year, STARs will undergo a single blind, double cycle review, similar to the one for regular

papers. Hence, there is no need to prepare a STAR proposal first, and the full-length STAR with no

more than 25 pages must be submitted before the submission deadline.

Each STAR will be reviewed by

three members of the IPC who are experts in the respective topic.

Accepted STARs will be published in

a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the Eurographics conference.

Submissions needing a major revision will be transferred to the standard submission track of Computer

Graphics Forum.

Brief biographies of the authors should be included in the submission, demonstrating their

qualification to produce the proposed STAR.

The deadline for the submission of STAR proposals is September 17, 2014, with notification of

conditional acceptance on January 14, 2015. The revised version of conditionally accepted STARs will

have to be submitted at a later date for a second review, and the camera ready version will be due

about 6 weeks before the start of the conference.
