                      <p>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                        otherwise remain unpublished, due to them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.</p>
                      <p>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.</p>

                      <p>Authors of accepted papers will present a super

                        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.</p>
                      <h4>Plagiarism</h4>
                      <p align="justify">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.</p>
                      <h4>Prior Art</h4>
                      <p align="justify">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.</p>
                      <p align="justify">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.</p>
