Dear colleagues,
we have decided to extend the submission deadline for long and short papers to the EuroVis
2022 workshop "VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization
Software" until **March 23, 2022**!
Below, you can find the original CfP including the scope of VisGap, submission
instructions, and the updated dates.

VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software (co-located
with EuroVis 2022, Rome, Italy)
Over the years, many visualization methods and tools have been developed and published by
the visualization research community. However, most of these are prototypes and never
reach a state that can be reliably used by the target audience, e.g., domain scientists.
Also, availability of these prototypes as source code or at least as executables is still
the exception rather than the norm. The VisGap Symposium aims to shed a light on this gap
between research and practical applicability, examine the obstacles every researcher
faces, and propose solutions to overcome this problem as a community.
VisGap'22 aims at gathering experts from all over the visualization community in order
to advance the way our field works with software, sustains software, and values the effort
our members put into developing said software. This year, we extend the scope of VisGap to
include reproducibility and replicability. Both are cornerstones of the scientific method
and essential for building trust in visualizations and increasing their acceptance,
ultimately fostering adoption in the wild.
Workshop Topics
Topics include, but are not limited to:
===============================================================================
* Requirements for successful visualization in applications in general
* Domain-specific requirements for visualizations
* Reflections on the research community and the visualization software ecosystem
* Incentives and funding for developing/maintaining visualization research software
* Legal requirements (e.g., licensing, certification) for visualizations in
applications
* Case studies of (un)successful visualization solutions in applications
* Requirements for novel visualization libraries
* Verification and validation in visualization (applications) ***NEW***
* Reproducibility of visualization ***NEW***
We solicit papers with 4-8 pages in the VisGap 2022 latex style (see above for the scope
of the workshop), with an additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be
original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings,
magazine, journal, or edited book or must present a substantial extension of previous work
(at least 30%). Papers are to be submitted via PCS.
All submissions will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review process. Accepted
papers will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored in the
Eurographics Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and
participate in the VisGap 2022 workshop to present the accepted work.
All papers must be submitted through PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/). (Society:
Eurographics; Conference/Journal: VisGap 2022)
