CALL FOR STATE-OF-THE-ART REPORTS
All accepted STARs will be published in Computer Graphics Forum
Important Upcoming Dates
Submission of STAR sketch (two pages +references+bibliography): October 9,
2016
Invitation for full STAR submission: October 30, 2016
Submission of full STAR: January 26, 2017
EuroVis 2017 is the 19th annual scientific gathering on visualization
jointly organized by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization
and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. EuroVis 2017
will be held in Barcelona, Spain, from June 12th till June the 16th, 2017
Like last year, all accepted EuroVis 2017 STAR reports will be published in
Computer Graphics Forum. 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 previous STAR or other
survey. We welcome submissions that introduce emerging technologies, 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, politology, etc.
As part of the acceptance process into Computer Graphics Forum, STARs will
undergo a multi-stage process. First, authors are being asked to submit an
initial sketch by October 9, 2016. A STAR sketch briefly describes the
planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance for 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 page. References and
short biographies are considered extra pages and are not counted within the
two page limit. Bibliographies should be limited to 200 words per author.
The format of the sketch can be found at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es>
http://eurovis2017.virvig.es. STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC
and comments on suitability and relevance will be provided by October 30,
2016. Authors will then be required to submit a full STAR. Full STAR
submissions will then undergo a single blind, double cycle review, similar
to the one for regular papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where
three external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. Full
submissions are 25 pages maximum. To demonstrate the relevant expertise
needed to produce the proposed STAR, authors are required to submit the
brief biographies of all authors as a piece of supplementary materials.
Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and
will be conducted using <https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/>
https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ according to the guidelines defined
at <http://eurovis2017.virvig.es>
http://eurovis2017.virvig.es
We plan to schedule each STAR as a 40-100 minute presentation as in
Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis
2017 program). In any circumstance, a STAR presentation will always be given
a longer time slot than that for a full paper.
For any questions concerning STAR submissions please contact the STARs
