>>>>CFP EGPGV 2016 VISUALIZATION SHOWCASES -- EXTENDED DEADLINE
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Eurographics 2016 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization
(EGPGV 2016)
=========================================================================
June 6-7, 2016, Groningen, the Netherlands
Co-located with EuroVis 2016
www.egpgv.org


Second Call for Visualization Showcases -- Extended Deadline
=================================================

This year EGPGV presents the second edition of the Visualization Showcase. 
This track 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 '16 in a 10-minute presentation. Movies
are judged based on how they illuminate science, by the quality of the movie, 
and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie. Accepted 
submissions will appear as short papers in the symposium proceedings.

Review and selection process for Visualization Showcases
================================================

Submissions need 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. 

Each showcase submission will be peer-reviewed by the EGPGV International
Program Committee. Criteria for revision include:

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