Authors are invited to submit short papers [4 pages max] that present
self-contained, complete, compact works on all areas related to computer
graphics, such as rendering, modeling, visualization, animation, simulation,
virtual reality, computer vision, computer-aided design, digital fabrication
and imaging. We particularly invite submissions which present tangible and
practically useful improvements to the state of the art, but which are not
thematically wide enough to justify an entire full paper. What we would like
to see as short papers are individual smart ideas and intriguing findings
that might otherwise remain unpublished, due to them standing in isolation -
as opposed to falling within the context of some larger scientific
endeavour, where they can be easily mentioned in the corresponding
publication.
Accepted short papers will be published in the Short Papers digital media
proceedings and in the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors of accepted
papers will be expected to present their work as an oral presentation at the
conference.

Submission details
Submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021S> Submission and Review
Management (SRM) system. Submitted papers must be anonymous, up to 4 pages
in length, and formatted according to the Eurographics Author's guidelines
(short papers LaTeX style package available from the
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/EG_2021/Instruction> SRM system).
Authors of accepted papers will present a super short summary or a teaser
during a fast-forward session. This presentation will be around 25 seconds
(exact length to be decided) and shall be augmented by slides. To ensure a
smooth organization, they will be asked to prepare a short video of the
slides for this purpose, in two versions: one with the spoken text and one
without. These FF presentations will be available on the web throughout the
conference. Details will be sent to accepted paper authors.
Plagiarism
A submission to the Eurographics Short Papers program should describe an
original work of the authors. Authors must not use ideas or content
originating from others without properly crediting their original sources.
Note that such sources are not limited to peer-reviewed publications but
also include patents, textbooks, technical reports, theses, unpublished work
posted on arXiv, and other posts on the World Wide Web. Failure to comply
with this requirement will be considered plagiarism and result in rejection.
Prior Art
Authors are expected to cite, discuss differences and novelty, and compare
results, if applicable, with respect to relevant existing publications,
provided they have been published in a peer-reviewed venue.
This also applies to patents, which also undergo a professional reviewing
process. But what about technical reports, and other non-peer-reviewed
publications, such as technical reports or papers posted on arXiv, which we
henceforth refer to as pre-publications? With the rapid progress of search
engines and the increased perusal of arXiv papers by the scientific
community, asking authors to thoroughly compare their work to these
pre-publications imposes an unreasonable burden - a seemingly relevant
report that is incomplete in its disclosure or validation might appear
online shortly before the deadline. Although peer-reviewed publications are
certainly not immune to these shortcomings, they have, at least, been judged
sufficiently complete and valid by a group of peers. Consequently, authors
are not required to discuss and compare their work with recent
pre-publications (arXiv, technical reports, theses, etc.), although they
must properly cite those that inspired them (see "Plagiarism" above).
Nevertheless, we encourage authors to mention all related works they are
aware of as good academic practice dictates. Note that with new works posted
on arXiv on a daily basis, it is increasingly likely that reviewers might
point out similarities between the submitted work and online reports that
have been missed by the authors. In this case, authors of conditionally
accepted papers should be prepared to cite these pre-publications in their
final revision as concurrent work, without the burden of having to detail
how their work compares to or differs from these pre-publications.
Double Submission Policy
By submitting a manuscript to the Eurographics Short Papers program, authors
acknowledge that the technical contributions they claim have not been
previously published or accepted for publication in another peer-reviewed
venue, and that no manuscript substantially similar in content is currently
under review. Violations constitute grounds for rejection.
