[General] CFP IEEE CG&A special issue on "Fighting Pandemics with Computer Graphics"

Topic: CFP IEEE CG&A special issue on "Fighting Pandemics with Computer Graphics" Dear all, We would like to invite you to contribute with your latest research to this IEEE CG&A special issue on "Fighting Pandemics with Computer Graphics". https://www.computer.org/digital-library/magazines/cg/call-for-papers-speci… Submissions deadline: 28 April 2022 Publication: November/December 2022 This special issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications seeks high-quality articles on the use of data visualization, animation, interaction, and data science regarding the processing and generation of graphics in support of such pandemic situations. This special issue invites submissions about any pandemic, including COVID-19, but also others such as bird flu. The predominant focus of the issue is on the use of computer graphics, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, and HCI in applications or methodologies that were or could be applied in pandemic scenarios. Topics of interest include: Visualization, graphic simulation, and human-computer interaction approaches Graphic simulation or animation used in virus-spreading scenarios Visualization for communicating modeling processes and decision-making dependencies The development of visualization tools for prediction or tracking of pandemic scenarios Industry and business applications in regulated environments VR and AR applications to visualize the impact of our behavior on the spread of a virus to raise awareness and respect for restrictions imposed by rule-makers Crowd simulation during a pandemic, such as capacity limitations and environment design to improve transit Using graphics to communicate, work, play, and interact in a socially distanced world Visualization of cells, pathways, and molecular structures related to viruses and bacteria --------------------------------------------- Guest Editors Soraia Raupp Musse, Pontifical Catholic University of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil Nuria Pelechano, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Spain
