[General] EGPGV 2016: Deadline extension

[We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this message.] ------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Eurographics 2016 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization (EGPGV 2016) ========================================================================= June 6-7, 2016, Groningen, the Netherlands Co-located with EuroVis 2016 www.egpgv.org Dear colleagues: Due to several requests from authors, we postponed the full paper submission deadline for EGPGV 2016 from February 19 to March 4, 2016. Besides regular papers, this CfP also adds a call for visualization showcases submissions (described below). Call for Regular Papers ======================= The importance of parallel computing is increasing rapidly with the ubiquitous availability of multi-core CPUs, GPUs, and cluster systems. Computationally demanding and data-intensive applications in graphics and visualization are strongly affected by this trend and require novel efficient parallel solutions. The aim of this symposium is to foster the exchange of experiences and knowledge exploiting and defining new trends in parallel graphics and visualization. The proceedings of the EGPGV Symposium will be published in the Eurographics Proceedings Series and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Best papers from the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended journal version to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for: - large-data - clusters - (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures - out-of-core - hybrid distributed and shared memory architectures - grid and cloud environments In particular the symposium topics include: - computationally and data intensive rendering - scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow and tensor visualization) - information visualization and visual analytics - simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation, collision detection, acoustics) - mesh processing, level-of-detail, and geometric methods - visual computing (image- and video-based rendering, image processing and exploitation, segmentation) - scheduling, memory management and data coherence - large and high resolution displays, virtual environments - scientific, engineering, and industrial applications Submission instructions ======================= You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works. Full papers are expected to be eight to ten (8-10) pages in length, with the final length appropriate to the contribution of the paper. Submissions are to be formatted along the Eurographics paper publication guidelines. We expect that the submissions will clearly discuss the novel and significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors must highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the art in parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all supplementary material must be submitted via the PCS online system. Additional submission details will be announced shortly on egpgv.org. Call for Visualization Showcases ================================ This year we present the second edition of the Visualization Showcase. This track provides a forum for the year's most instrumental movies in parallel graphics and visualization. Finalists will compete for the Best Visualization Award, and each finalist will present his or her movie during a dedicated session at EGPGV '16 in a 10-minute presentation. Movies are judged based on how they illuminate science, by the quality of the movie, and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie. Accepted submissions will appear as short papers in the symposium proceedings. Review and selection process for Visualization Showcases ================================================ Submissions need to include a movie (up to 150MB in size) and a short paper (up to 4 pages including references). The short paper should describe the scientific story conveyed by the movie, how the visualization helps scientific discovery, and the "state-of-the-practice" information behind making the movie. Each showcase submission will be peer-reviewed by the EGPGV International Program Committee. Criteria for revision include: * Compelling visualization * Visualizing data involving parallel graphics and/or parallel visualization in a significant way (e.g., data size, parallel processing, parallel rendering) * Meaningful and compelling science story * Description of visualization techniques necessary to accomplish the movie Important Dates ================= Papers Submission: March 4 (extended from February 19), 2016 Showcase Submission: March 25, 2016 Author Notification (full papers): April 15, 2016 Author Notification (showcases): April 15, 2016 Camera-Ready Submission (full papers): April 25, 2016 Camera-Ready Submission (showcases): April 25, 2016 Symposium: June 6-7, 2016 Symposium Chair ================= Alexandru Telea, University of Groningen, the Netherlands Program Chairs =============== Wes Bethel, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA Enrico Gobbetti, CRS4, Italy Program Committee ================== Marco Ament, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Ulf Assarsson, Chalmers University, Sweden Janine Bennett, SANDIA Labs, USA Hank Childs, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, USA Kurt Debattista, University of Warwick, UK Stefan Eilemann, École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne, Switzerland Elmar Eisemann, TU Delft, the Netherlands Kelly Gaither, University Texas/Austin, USA Christoph Garth, University of Kaiserslautern, Germany Berk Geveci, Kitware, USA Michael Guthe, University of Bayreuth, Germany Andrei Jalba, TU Eindhoven, the Netherlands Jens Krüger, University Duisburg-Essen, Germany Torsten Kuhlen, RWTH Aachen University, Germany Fabio Marton, CRS4, Italy Patrick McCormick, Los Alamos National Laboratory, USA Kenneth Moreland, Sandia National Laboratories, USA Renato Pajarola, University of Zürich, Switzerland Bruno Raffin, INRIA Grenoble, France Filip Sadlo, University of Heidelberg, Germany Daniel Weiskopf, University of Stuttgart, Germany Michael Wimmer, Technische Universität Wien, Austria
