Eurographics 2017 Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization
(EGPGV 2017) Call for Papers

=========================================================================

June 12-13, 2017, Barcelona, Spain

Co-located with EuroVis 2017

http://www.vis.uni-stuttgart.de/egpgv/egpgv2017/


Dear colleagues,

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.
Best papers from the EGPGV symposium will be invited to submit an extended
journal version to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics.

Focusing on parallel computing, the symposium seeks papers on graphics and
visualization techniques, data structures, algorithms, and systems for:



- large-data

- HPC and cloud environments

- (multi-)GPU computing, and heterogeneous, hybrid architectures

- shared and/or distributed memory architectures

- out-of-core


The symposium topics include:


- computationally and data intensive rendering
- scientific visualization (volume rendering, flow, and tensor
visualization)

- information visualization and visual analytics
- in-situ analytics and in-situ visualization

- simulations for virtual environments (physics-based animation, collision
detection, acoustics)

- 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

- distributed, parallel, or multi-threaded approaches
- mapReduce-based and database-related methods, algorithms or approaches,
query based visualization
- advanced hardware for data handling or visualization
- large and high resolution displays, virtual environments

- scientific, engineering, and industrial applications

Submission types

========================

You are invited to submit original and unpublished research works. Two
types of submissions are accepted, as follows.

Full papers
========================
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. Submissions
are to be formatted along the Eurographics paper publication guidelines.

We expect that full paper submissions will clearly discuss the novel and
significant contributions as well as related work in the field. Authors
must highlight how their contributions differ and advance the state of the
art in parallel graphics and visualization. The full paper and all
supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS online system.


Short papers

============================
This year we introduce a new type of submission: short papers. Short papers
target the same interest topics as full papers, but are maximally 4 pages
in length. As such, they typically address novel ideas or work in progress
which
has not been sufficiently solidly validated as for full papers. Short
papers can also target use-cases and applications of parallel graphics and
visualization, presentation of parallel graphics and visualization tools
and systems, industry
success stories, and showcases of applications making use of parallel
graphics
and visualization. The short paper track thus broadens the visualization
showcase track that was present in earlier editions of EGPGV. Short papers
and their supplementary material, if any, must be submitted via the PCS
online system.

Accepted papers (both full and short) will appear in the symposium
proceedings
and be published via the Eurographics Digital Library.


Submission process
=================
Papers are accepted when submitted via the PCS system (
precisionconference.com). Additional details with respect to the submission
process will be announced shortly on egpgv.org/egpgv2017


Reviewing process
=================
Both paper types (full and short) will be reviewed by at least three
members of the
International Program Committee (IPC), in a single review pass. Full papers
deemed insufficient in terms of the contribution level expected for a full
paper, but presenting
otherwise interesting, novel, and valuable results, can be selected by the
IPC to be
accepted as short papers. The review process is not double blind; we leave
it to the
latitude of the authors whether they want to disclose their identity in
their submissions.
