[General] Eurographics 2024 - Call for STARs & Tutorials!

Full STAR submission deadline October 27, 2023 Call for STARs EUROGRAPHICS State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) provide up-to-date and comprehensive overviews of special topics of current interest in Computer Graphics and related fields. STARs are highly valuable contributions to our community, as witnessed by the high number of citations they typically receive. We welcome submissions on all topics relevant to EUROGRAPHICS, and particularly encourage STARs on topics that have not been covered in any recent edition. STAR reports on cross-sectional, multi-disciplinary areas are also highly welcomed. 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. A list of recent STARs can be found on the websites of recent editions e.g., for <https://diglib.eg.org/xmlui/handle/10.2312/2633301> 2023, <https://diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312/2633168> 2022, and <https://diglib.eg.org/handle/10.2312/2633006> 2021. Accepted STARs will be published in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, which appears right before the EUROGRAPHICS conference. The journal status of the proceedings requires a two-stage review process with conditional acceptance after the first round and final acceptance based on the revised submissions. Submissions needing a major revision will be transferred to the standard submission track of Computer Graphics Forum. At EUROGRAPHICS 2024, the authors of a STAR will be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that allows non-experts in the domain to follow the presentation. We do not impose strict maximum lengths for these submissions. However, it is recommended that papers be up to 20 pages excluding references and the authors’ short bios, to conform to the general recommendation for CGF survey papers. Electronic submissions of STARs are mandatory and will be conducted using the Submission and Review Management System. Papers must be written in English and prepared according to this year’s template, which can be downloaded from the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2024STARs> Submission and Review Management (SRMv2) system. STARs must be formatted according to the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum guidelines and submitted as anonymous papers.

Tutorials are intended to show what can be done, but even more importantly, how this is done and what kind of tools can be used to do it. In a proposal for a tutorial, you should consider that tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, ranging from research and development to education and application. We are soliciting half-day and full-day tutorial proposals at the beginning, intermediate, or advanced level in all areas pertinent to Computer Graphics. Half-day tutorials are about three hours, plus a coffee break in the middle. Full-day tutorials are twice that long, plus two coffee breaks and a longer lunch break. Full-day tutorials should be motivated by sufficient scientific material. Tutorial proposals are about 4-5 pages in length, clearly indicating the audience that is addressed as well as the syllabus of instruction. They will be reviewed by the tutorial chairs, supported by external reviewers. The final selection will be based on the quality of the submission, qualification of the presenters, relevance to the conference topics, and balance of topics. Digital support of accepted tutorials will be made available to every Eurographics registered participant and will also be included in the Eurographics digital library. Eurographics does not require copyright for the tutorial notes it publishes. The tutorial speakers may reuse their material freely. For each accepted tutorial, one free registration is provided per half-day of that tutorial. Timeline All following deadlines are at 23:59 UTC. * November 20, 2023: Submission of full tutorial proposals * January 12, 2024: Acceptance/rejection notification * March 25, 2024: Submission of final material (see Course notes below) * April 22, 2024: Conference in Limassol, Cyprus Submission details Tutorial proposals (in PDF) should be submitted by using the <https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2024TUT> Eurographics Submission and Review Management (SRMv2). The submitted proposals should contain the following information: Presenter(s) details: * Name(s); * Institution(s); * Email address(es); * URL(s). Tutorial details: * Title of the tutorial; * Keywords; * Half or full-day tutorial (either 2×90 minutes or 4×90 minutes); * A detailed outline of the tutorial; * A statement on the necessary background and potential target audience for the tutorial; * A brief resume of the presenter(s) indicating their background in the area the tutorial addresses; * If a (similar) tutorial was previously held, indicate the location (i.e., which conference), date, and the number of attendees. Please provide information highlighting changes, improvements, and/or why the tutorial should be held again in this form. Course notes Sample course notes, although not required in the submission, are highly encouraged to accompany the tutorial proposals. Notes may include original text, formatted according to the Eurographics publication guidelines, reprints of earlier papers (subject to copyright approval), slides, videos, software, datasets, and any other material the authors consider useful. The acceptance of tutorial proposals is contingent upon the final submission of complete course notes. Upon acceptance of the tutorial, additional material should be submitted using the same link in the SRM system as for submitting the proposal. All course notes of accepted tutorials will be distributed to conference participants electronically.
