Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to contribute to: ******************************************************************************* VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software (co-located with EuroVis & Eurographics 2020) May 25th, 2020, Norrköping, Sweden ******************************************************************************* 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'20 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. We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, 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 must be submitted through PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/). 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'20 workshop to present their work. 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 Important Dates ******************************************************************************* Paper Submission Deadline: February 29, 2020 Notification of Acceptance: April 3, 2020 Camera-ready Deadline: April 17, 2020 Workshop Date: May 25, 2020 More info: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap20/ Organizers and Contact ******************************************************************************* Christina Gillmann, TU Kaiserslautern, Germany Michael Krone, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany Guido Reina, University of Stuttgart, Germany Thomas Wischgoll, Wright State University, Dayton, USA If you have any questions, please contact us: mailto: visgap(a)googlegroups.com Submission ******************************************************************************* Please submit your short and full papers via PCS (Deadline: February 21, 2020): https://new.precisionconference.com/ (EGEV2020 VisGap Workshop) Please follow the VisGap'20 guidelines for writing the paper.
