Short Paper and Poster Abstract Deadline:   July 21, 2017
Notification:                               August 15, 2017

The 15th EUROGRAPHICS Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (GCH 
2017) aims to foster an international dialogue between ICT experts and 
CH scientists to advance the understanding of critical requirements for 
processing, managing, and delivering cultural heritage information to a 
broad audience. The objective of the workshop is to introduce and 
showcase new techniques and applications for supporting Cultural 
Heritage information ranging from data acquisition, analysis and 
synthesis, 3D documentation, and data management, to new forms of 
interactive presentation and 3D printing solutions. Interdisciplinary 
approaches for analysis, classification and interpretation of cultural 
artefacts are particularly relevant to the event. GCH 2017 provides a 
scientific forum to exchange novel ideas and techniques in research, 
education and dissemination of Cultural Heritage information, to 
transfer them into practice, and identify future research and 
application opportunities. To advance the dialogue between ICT and CH 
experts, GCH 2017 will be held in close cooperation with the 
Museumsakademie of the Universalmuseum Joanneum in Graz, providing 
opportunity for exchange between the domains.

Within this workshop, there is a specific short paper track, that 
encourages researchers to present their most recent work in a condensed 
way. Short paper submissions must describe original and unpublished 
work. While a short paper is not a shortened long paper, the 
characteristics of short papers include: late-breaking results; a small, 
focused contribution; work in progress; a negative result; follow-up 
extensions; evaluations of existing methods; an interesting application 
nugget. Each short paper submission consists of up to four (4) pages of 
content, plus unlimited pages for references; reviewers’ comments must 
be taken into account in the final version. Each short paper submission 
will be reviewed by program committee members. A submission can be 
accompanied by electronic supplementary material (e.g. images, video, 
demo). Topics lie in the area of visual computing applied to digital 
cultural heritage, challenging the state of the art solutions and 
leveraging new ideas for future developments. Equally, original 
contributions in the cultural heritage field of relevance to visual 
computing are welcome.

Please use the EUROGRAPHICS LaTeX Package 
(http://gch17.tugraz.at/conference_participation.html) to prepare your 
submission according to the EUROGRAPHICS style guide. Please note that 
the GCH 2017 uses a double-blind peer-review process to evaluate the 
submissions. Each submission should also be complete with all 
co-authors’ information entered into the submission system Submission 
and Review Management (SRM) provided by the EUROGRAPHICS. Please submit 
your paper to https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2017. All 
accepted short papers will be published by the Eurographics Association 
and archived in the EG Digital Library. Note, that summaries of full 
papers that have already been published or submitted elsewhere 
(including in another language) are not acceptable as short-paper 
submission to GCH 2017.

Furthermore, GCH 2017 offers scientists as well as practitioners the 
opportunity to present their work within the framework of a Poster 
session in order to present latest or already published work. Here, both 
scientific and practice-oriented contributions are welcome. To 
participate at the poster session we invite you to submit an abstract 
(about 400 words describing the core of the poster) to 
https://srmv2.eg.org/COMFy/Conference/GCH_2017. The abstracts will not 
be published in the proceedings, however they will be published and 
shared at the GCH 2017 webpage.
