*** EuroVis - Short Papers ***

For the second time, EuroVis 2013 features a short paper track. The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in a one-stage process by an international program committee. They will be electronically archived and are fully citable publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be 4 pages (at most), excluding references, and 5 pages (at most), in total. They will be orally presented at the conference. EuroVis 2013 will be held in Leipzig, Germany, June 17-21, 2013.

Important Dates for All Submissions:

            • Submission Deadline: March 8, 2013

            • Acceptance Notification: April 19, 2013

            • Camera-ready Deadline: May 3, 2013

            • Conference and workshop will take place: June 17-21, 2013

A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller -- yet still significant -- scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. The following descriptive examples, which are characterized in contrast to full papers, may be helpful in understanding what kinds of submissions may be suitable for short papers:

• A new visualization technique or system and evidence of

  its utility compared to known techniques or systems

  (described in sufficient detail to assist an expert reader

  in replicating the technique or system, but without

  exhaustive implementation detail and evaluation).

• An incremental improvement or variation of an existing

  visualization technique or system with convincing

  evaluation.

• An extensive evaluation of an existing visualization

technique or system.

• A well-proven counter-example to an existing

  visualization technique that helps to understand

  limitations.

• A new implementation approach that has demonstrably

  addressed a significant technical issue

  (without extensive evaluation of the implementation).

• A new methodology for designing or studying visualization

  systems that has demonstrable benefits for the EuroVis

  community (without extensive evaluation of the

  methodology).

All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book.
