Computer Graphics and Visual Computing 2018 Call for Papers

======================================================
COMPUTER GRAPHICS & VISUAL COMPUTING 2018 (CGVC2018)
The 36th Annual Conference 
organised by the UK chapter of the Eurographics Association,
13-14 September 2018, Swansea University, UK
http://www.eguk.org.uk/CGVC2018/
======================================================

The annual EGUK conference is a meeting place for all those in the UK
working in computer graphics and visual computing (including, Computer
Graphics and Vision, Information and Scientific Visualization, and
Visual Analytics). It attracts researchers from across the country and
from further afield.

The 2018 conference Computer Graphics & Visual Computing will be an
overnight meeting (lunchtime to lunchtime). The conference wants to
focus on increasing the dialogue between academic research groups,
researchers in academic and in industrial developments. In order to
facilitate such dialogue, we are seeking contributions in the form of
full papers, short papers, viewpoint papers, and extended abstracts
(poster papers).

• Full papers - a paper of 4 to 8 pages describing completed
research, plus an additional page of references. Papers are refereed
by members of an international program committee (IPC). Authors of
accepted papers are expected to give a 20 minute presentation at the
conference. Accepted papers will appear in the Eurographics digital
library and will serve as full paper publications.

• Short papers - The purpose of short papers is to present
late-breaking results, work-in-progress, and follow-up extensions or
evaluations of existing methods. Short papers will be peer-reviewed in
a one-stage double-blind process by an international program committee
(IPC). They will be electronically archived and are fully citable
publications. Submissions for the short paper track should be at most
4 pages, with an additional page allowed for references. Accepted
short papers will be presented orally at the conference in
(approximately) 15 minute presentations.

• Viewpoint Papers (aka. Position paper, ***new in CGVC2018***) -
Viewpoint paper track enables researchers a new possibility to publish
their ideas. Viewpoints articles offer detailed technical opinions on
trends in visual computing or reports on how visual computing has
contributed to the comprehension of data or phenomena, without the
need to present completed research work and/or validated results. We
encourage discussions of challenges or limitations in today's methods
and areas of potential new topics of research. We are also interested
in application discussions that focus on, for example, the areas of
physical, life or social sciences, engineering, or commerce, or areas
related to the process of visual computing in general. We encourage an
emphasis on lessons learned from practical experience for application
discussions, particularly where visual computing has been employed in
a real, working environment. Viewpoint papers are submitted with
author names and affiliations (at most 4-pages). Accepted viewpoint
papers will be electronically archived, are fully citable publications
and will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 15
minute presentations.

Submissions to the full, short and viewpoint paper tracks that are not
accepted for publication but are deemed suitable for poster
presentation by the IPC will be offered an opportunity to present in
the poster track.

• Extended Abstracts (Poster Papers) - CGVC 2018 is re-introducing
a poster track. The purpose of this track is to present late-breaking
results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of
existing methods. In particular, it provides young researchers,
especially postgraduate students, with valuable opportunities to
receive feedback from other researchers, and engage in stimulating
discussions. The poster track will be managed by the co-chair team and
the International Program Committee (IPC) for the papers track. We
solicit poster submissions in the form of a poster and an accompanying
sketch (i.e., an extended abstract of at most 2 pages, with an
additional page allowed for references only). Posters will be
peer-reviewed in a one-stage double-blind process. Accepted posters
will be presented at the poster viewing session of the conference.

Accepted extended abstracts (poster papers) do not appear in the
Eurographics digital library, and will not be considered as a paper
publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one-page sketch or to
a conference poster without an associated full paper. As such,
presenting an extended abstract or a poster at the conference has no
effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in
another venue.
