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. 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, Photogrammetry, Virtual Reality, Image Processing, Computer Vision, Psychology, Geography, Chemistry, Computational Fluid Dynamics, Data Analysis, Computational Sciences, Medicine, Biology, Economy, Politology, etc. </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Important Dates </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">The submission deadline is 23:59GMT, Friday January 16th, 2015. </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Please see the important dates page for more details. </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Submission </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Submissions will be evaluated on the basis of the contribution quality and topic suitability for presentation in a STAR format, the past experience and qualifications of the authors and the overall balance in the program. A STAR submission should be an almost complete version of the planned STAR, outlining the topic, documenting its relation and relevance to the visualization community, including a planned table of contents and a major subset of the targeted literature references, as well as including brief biographies of the authors, demonstrating their qualification to produce the proposed STAR. Such a proposal should be 10-20 pages (at most) in length, including references; submissions can also include supplementary material. </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">For detailed paper preparation and submission instructions please refer to the guidelines in the submitters area of the conference web pages. </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">State-of-the-Art Reports (STARS) Program Co-Chairs </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Rita Borgo, Swansea University, UK </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Fabio Ganovelli, ISTI-CNR, Italy </span><br style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);"><span style="font-family: -moz-fixed; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);">Ivan Viola, Vienna University of Technology, Austria </span></div></body></html>
