2nd 3D Vision Conference, Call for Workshops

2nd 3D Vision Conference, Call for Workshops The 2nd International Conference on 3D Vision (3DV2014)Organizing Committee invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with 3DV 2014 in Tokyo, Japan, December 8th - 11th, 2014. The workshops will take place on December 8th, 2014. The scope of the proposal should be consistent as possible with the conference themes as described on the conference homepage at http://www.3dv.org/. Workshops provide an informal setting where the participants have the opportunity to discuss cutting-edge research issues and emerging topics in 3D vision technology in an atmosphere that fosters the active exchange of ideas. We hope to bring together researchers from different academic communities as well as from industry or public institutions. Each workshop should be well-focused, and encourage collaboration and discussions among the participants. Workshop duration may be between a half day and a full day. Workshops may consist of talks by invited speakers, panel discussions, presentations by authors of contributed papers, or a combination of the above. Workshops may take a combined reviewing procedure: a rejected main conference paper has an option to be considered as a workshop paper if its authors wish to. *Important Dates:* ·Workshop proposal deadline: *May 1st, 2014** ·Workshop acceptance notification: May 15th, 2014 ·Workshop Call for Papers (to be ready on the web): May30th, 2014 ·(Suggested) Workshop paper submission deadline: August 31, 2014 ·(Suggested)Workshop paper acceptance notification: September30th, 2014 ·Workshop paper camera-ready deadline: October10th, 2014 ·Workshop dates: December 8th, 2014** *Workshop Logistics* Workshop organizers are responsible of the scientific organization and advertising of the event. Logistic and financial aspects are handled by the 3DV 2014 organization. Workshop organizers can decide on their own deadlines for submission and reviews, but they must comply with the overall 3DV 2014 rules, particularly: * papers must be peer-reviewed by at least three reviewers; * papers must comply with the 3DV 2014 proceedings style (i.e., IEEE format) and have a maximum length of 8 pages; and * the deadline for camera-ready submission is October 10th, 2014. Workshops will benefit from the registration process of 3DV 2014. All workshop participants are required to register for the main conference. During registration, the participants will specify which workshop(s) they are going to attend. Each seminar room has the capacity to accommodate up to 40~50 people. Workshop papers that are presented at the workshop are planned to be published by Conference Publishing Services (CPS) and submitted to IEEE Xplore and CSDL. Conference and workshop papers will be distributed via memory sticks for the participants. Therefore, workshop organizers are responsible for collecting all the accepted papers and ensuring the proper IEEEformat before October 10th, 2014. *Policy regarding - our combined reviewing procedure* Each workshop has two ways to receive paper submissions: workshop only and via the main conference. Submissions via the main conference follow the policy below. When a paper is submitted to the main conference, the authors choose if they would like the paper to be considered as a paper of one of the workshops in case the paper is rejected by the main conference. Once the paper is accepted by the main conference, the paper will be automatically withdrawn from its connected workshop. Papers rejected by the main conference that are connected with a workshop by the authors will be automatically passed to the workshop. After the main conference paper acceptance notification, workshop organizers can access reviews and consolidations of those papers that are passed to the workshop. Workshop organizers can then decide how many additional "workshop-specific" reviewers are needed to review each of those papers (Note: it is recommended to have at the least one "workshop-specific" reviewer to assess each paper). Finally, workshop organizers may decide whether to accept or reject those papers by taking into account all the available reviews. Submitting a Proposal Proposals for workshops should be between two and five pages in length, and should include the following information: * Contact information of the workshop organizers (name, affiliations, e-mail, fax, and telephone) * A short technical description of the workshop (title, goals/motivation, discussion of why the topic is of particular interest, and to whom the workshop is of interest) * A description of the workshop format, the potential invited speakers (if any, funding to be organized by workshop organizers), and duration of the workshop (full day or half day) * The expected number of participants, the estimated number of submissions and an anticipated acceptance rate * A description of the qualifications of the individual committee members with respect to organizing the workshop * If available, the number of submitted/accepted papers and approximate attendance numbers for the past editions of the workshop * A preliminary call for papers * Declaration of whether or not our combined reviewing procedure is used. Each proposal should be submitted by email to the 3DV 2014 workshop chairs, Akihiro Sugimoto (sugimoto@nii.ac.jp ) and Daniel Huber (dhuber@cs.cmu.edu ). The proposals will be peer reviewed. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions. We are looking forward to receiving your proposals.
