Dear colleagues,
With this call, we invite submissions of high-quality State of the Art
Reports (STAR) to be presented at the EuroVis 2023 conference (
<https://www.eurovis.org/>
https://www.eurovis.org/) and published in the
<https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14678659> Computer Graphics Forum
journal. The EuroVis 2023 conference will be held in Leipzig, Germany on
June 12-16, 2023.
The call for STARs is included below and further details are on the EuroVis
webpage (
https://conferences.eg.org/eurovis2023/for-submitters/stars/). The
STAR submissions will go through a two-stage process, and the deadline for
the first stage, i.e., submissions of STAR sketches of two pages
(+references, +bibliography), is just around the corner on **October 21,
2022** and we look forward to receiving your submissions, details below.

EuroVis 2023 - Call for State of the Art Reports (STARs)
State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) are intended to provide up-to-date and
comprehensive surveys on topics of interest to the visualization research
community. We encourage the submission of STARs on topics that have not yet
been covered in any recent STAR or other survey [1,2].
We welcome submissions that introduce emerging areas of research that are of
relevance and interest to visualization research, as well as proposals on
more traditional visualization topics. We also welcome contributions from
related disciplines and application areas demonstrating contributions to, or
benefits from, the area of visualization including, but not limited to,
visual computing, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, virtual
reality, image processing, computer vision, psychology, geography,
chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, data analysis, computational
sciences, medicine, biology, economy, social science, etc. All accepted
EuroVis STAR reports will be published in the
<https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/journal/14678659> Computer Graphics Forum
journal.
Important Dates
Submission of STAR Sketch: October 21, 2022 (two pages, +references,
+bibliography)
Invitation for full STAR submission: November 18, 2022
Submission of full STAR: February 3, 2023
Review notification: Mar 24, 2023
Second round submission: April 21, 2023
Second review notification: May 5, 2023
Camera-ready deadline: May 19, 2023
All deadlines are at 23:59 GMT on the date indicated.
Instructions
As part of the acceptance process for Computer Graphics Forum, STARs will
undergo a multi-stage review process where authors first submit a 2-page
STAR Sketch that they receive preliminary feedback on, followed by a full
STAR submission. Submission of the STAR Sketch and full report is mandatory
and will be conducted using the Precision Conference System (
<https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions/eurovis21c> PCS). For
detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to the
submission guidelines below.
Upon acceptance, we aim to schedule each STAR as an approximately 45 minute
presentation (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis 2023
program). In any circumstance, a STAR presentation will be given a longer
time slot than that of a full paper.
STAR Sketch Submission
A STAR Sketch briefly describes the planned STAR by outlining the topic,
discussing its relevance to the visualization community, providing the
planned structure and outline of the STAR together with all key references,
and short biographies of the authors. The length of a STAR Sketch main text
is limited to two pages. To demonstrate the relevant expertise needed to
produce the proposed STAR, brief biographies of all authors are required as
supplementary material. References and short biographies are considered
supplementary pages and are not counted within the two page limit. Authors
receive feedback on their sketches to help improve the submission and to
inform their decisions whether to progress to the Full STAR submission
stage.
Full STAR Submission
In the next stage, authors are required to submit a full STAR. There is no
strict maximum length for full submissions. However, it is unusual for STARs
to exceed 20 pages (excluding references). Full STAR submissions will then
undergo a single blind, two-stage review process, similar to that of regular
papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where 3-4 external experts on
the respective topic will evaluate the STAR.
