[General] Graphics Interface (GI) 2018

Graphics Interface (GI) 2018, the 44th annual conference, will be held at York University in Toronto, Ontario, Canada from May 8-11, 2018. <http://graphicsinterface.org/conference/2018> http://graphicsinterface.org/conference/2018 GI is the longest running conference in the field, consistently attracting high-quality submissions on recent advances in computer graphics, human-computer interaction (HCI), and visualization. All accepted GI papers will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library and will be open access in the Graphics Interface archive. The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award will be awarded at the conference to the best student papers in graphics and HCI. Authors of top papers will be invited to submit revised and extended versions to the journals IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) and Computers & Graphics. Submit your paper at: <https://precisionconference.com/~gi/> https://precisionconference.com/~gi/ GI 2018 consists of both Graphics and HCI tracks, along with several joint sessions. We seek submissions covering all aspects of graphics, HCI, as well as visualization. Authors must request that their submissions be handled by either the Graphics or HCI sub-committee. In exceptional cases where significant overlap exists, a submission may be reviewed by members of both sub-committees. All paper submissions are fully peer reviewed by at least two members of the program committee and two external reviewers. Papers normally have a maximum length of eight pages. GI 2018 will be held in conjunction with Computer and Robot Vision (CRV) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) as part of AI/GI/CRV 2018. A single registration provides access to all keynotes, invited and paper talks, as well as the common poster/demo session for the three conferences. Keynote Speakers: Kavita Bala, Cornell University Doug Bowman, Virginia Tech Invited Speaker Series Talks: Andrea Tagliasacchi, Google Waterloo Morgan McGuire, NVidia Research / Williams College Emily Whiting, Boston University Hao Li, University of Southern California / Pinscreen Fanny Chevalier, University of Toronto Nick Graham, Queen's University Ali Mazalek, Ryerson University In addition, talks will be given by the winners of the 2018 CHCCS Achievement Award and the 2017 Bill Buxton and Alain Fournier Ph.D. Dissertation awards.
