[Paraview] EGPGV 2015 Call for Papers and Visualization Showcase

[Paul Navratil]

Hello ParaView Users,

Please excuse the shameless plug, but I would like to remind everyone that the EGPGV full paper submission deadline is three weeks away.
If you have developed parallel techniques to perform your visualization, we invite your submission!

Please note that we also are featuring a new Visualization Showcase short papers track for state-of-the-art application of visualization techniques to interesting problems.
The deadline for this track is the end of February, so there is more time to get the video and short paper in perfect shape :-)

All best,

Paul Navratil

                E G P G V   2015
Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization
       25 - 26 May, Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy

       *** EGPGV 2015 - Call for Papers ***

Welcome to the 15th EGPGV, the Eurographics Symposium on
Parallel Graphics and Visualization. The event will take place
on May 25 - 26 in Cagliari, island of Sardinia, Italy.
The Symposium will be held in conjunction with EuroVis 2015.

*** NOTE: there are two tracks for this year’s symposium, full papers
and visualization showcase short 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.


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, acoustic)
 * 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


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. Papers
should be submitted using the Eurographics Conference style
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/PGV_2015/GetConferenceFile?fileID=6146> (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/PGV_2015/GetConferenceFile?fileID=6146).
Please use this linked version, which contains the correct details for
EGPGV.

The expected schedule is as follows:

 * Full Paper Due: February 13, 2014
 * Author Notification: March 27, 2014
 * Camera-Ready Paper Due: April 8, 2014


The best paper will be invited to submit an extended version to IEEE
Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG).


   Scientific Visualization Showcase

This year we present a new track for EGPGV 2015, which 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 ’15 in a 10-minute presentation. Movies are judged
based on how their movie illuminates science, by the quality of the
movie, and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie.

The accepted submissions will appear as short papers in the symposium
proceedings.

Review and selection process:
Submission should include “Visualization Showcase:” at the beginning of
the paper title. Submissions needed 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. The short
paper should be submitted using the Eurographics Conference style
<https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/PGV_2015/GetConferenceFile?fileID=6146> (https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/PGV_2015/GetConferenceFile?fileID=6146).
Please use this linked version, which contains the correct details for
EGPGV.

Each submission will be peer reviewed by the EGPGV Paper Chairs.
Criteria for revision include:

1. Compelling visualization
2. Visualizing data involving parallel graphics and/or visualization in
   a significant way (e.g., data size, parallel processing, parallel
   rendering)
3. Meaningful and compelling science story
4. Description of visualization techniques necessary to accomplish the
   movie


The expected schedule is as follows:

 * Showcase Submission Due: February 28, 2014
 * Author Notification: March 27, 2014
 * Camera-Ready Paper Due: April 8, 2014
