EuroVis'20 Short Papers CFP
by G.Elisabeta Marai 31 Jan '20

31 Jan '20

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** EG/VGTC EuroVis 2020 (May 25-29 2020, Norrköping, Sweden) CALL FOR SHORT PAPERS Due: February 21, 2020 Notification: March 24, 2020 Please note the 2020 submission deadline is a week earlier than last year. EuroVis 2020, the European Visualization Conference, features a short paper track to present late-breaking visualization research results, work in progress, and follow-up extensions or evaluations of existing methods. All accepted short papers (4 pages) will be presented orally at the conference. Please submit your work to the Short Papers program! A EuroVis short paper describes a more focused and concise research contribution and is likely to have a smaller — yet still significant — scope of contribution than a full paper. Short papers draw from the same paper types as full papers, as well as the same list of suggested topics. For detailed submission instructions, please see: http://conferences.eg.org/egev20/for-submitters/eurovis-for-submitters/euro… In 2020 the two conferences Eurographics and Eurovis (EGEV) will run together for the first time, as a single event. ---- Short Papers Chairs, G.

The department is home to a lively and growing community of academics exploring technical, creative and socio-cultural perspectives on interactive media, with expertise spanning human-computer interaction, user-experience design, games, data visualization, accessibility, interactive film, immersive technology and digital culture. A particularly exciting feature of the department is the central role it plays in major government research investments in interactive media, including: the Digital Creativity Labs, a £19m EPSRC Digital Economy Hub that fosters impact driven research in the digital creative industries; XRStories, a £15m AHRC Creative Industry Cluster exploring immersive and interactive technologies for digital storytelling; WEAVR, a £4m ICSF Audience of the Future Demonstrator developing new data-driven and immersive spectator experiences in esports; and the £6.4m EPSRC Intelligent Games and Game Intelligence Centre for Doctoral Training. Role You will develop research objectives, carry out individual or collaborative research projects and lead on or contribute to the production of research outputs and research outcomes. You will also design, develop and deliver teaching across a wide range of modules and/or within a particular programme or subject area. You will also demonstrate the ability to play a significant role in the delivery and development of our innovative Interactive Media BSc, teaching and supervising students on topics relating to the design and prototyping of interactive media that match your knowledge and experience.
