[2nd CfP GD 2020]: Second Call for paper Graph Drawing and Network Visualization Conference 2020
by David Auber 09 Sep '20

09 Sep '20

============================================== Second Call for Papers GD 2020 28th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization September 15-18, 2020 Vancouver, Canada https://gd2020.cs.ubc.ca/ CORONAVIRUS UPDATE: GD 2020 will be organized as an online meeting. We plan to keep all the important dates of the conference as announced. ================================================ Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs and constitutes the algorithmic core of Network Visualization. Graph Drawing and Network Visualization are motivated by applications where it is crucial to visually analyze and interact with relational datasets. Examples of such application areas include data science, social sciences, web computing, information systems, biology, geography, business intelligence, information security, and software engineering. GD has been the main annual event in this area for more than 25 years. Its focus is on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of graph drawing as well as the design of network visualization systems and interfaces. GD 2020 will take place September 15-18, 2020, at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Researchers and practitioners working on any aspects of graph drawing and network visualization are invited to contribute papers and posters, and to participate in the symposium and the graph drawing contest. PAPERS ------ We invite authors to submit papers describing original research of theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing and network visualization. Regular papers must be submitted explicitly to one of two distinct tracks described below. Papers submitted to one track will not compete with papers submitted to the other track. Track 1: Combinatorial and algorithmic aspects ---------------------------------------------- This track is mainly devoted to fundamental graph drawing advances, such as combinatorial aspects and algorithm design. The range of topics for this track includes (but is not limited to): • Design and analysis of graph drawing algorithms • Geometric and topological graph theory • Computational topology of graphs on surfaces • Geometric network design and optimization • Geometric computing Track 2: Experimental, applied, and network visualization aspects ---------------------------------------------- This track is mainly devoted to the practical aspects of graph drawing, such as the development of network visualization systems and interfaces in different application areas. The range of topics for this track includes (but is not limited to): • Visualization of graphs and networks in real world applications, including big data analysis • Engineering of network visualization algorithms and systems • Experimental results in graph theory and algorithms • Benchmarks and experimental studies of network visualization systems and user interfaces • Cognitive studies on graph drawing readability and user interaction • Interfaces and methods for interacting with graphs Authors of applied papers will have the opportunity to show a demo of their software/system during the conference. SHORT PAPERS ------------ In addition to the above two tracks, there will be a separate category for short papers, describing theoretical or applied contributions of shorter length. Papers in this category will be assigned a shorter time for presentation during the conference. SUBMISSION FORMAT ----------------- All submissions must be formatted using the LaTeX style file for the conference series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) provided by Springer. The default margins and fonts must not be modified; in particular, the use of packages such as times.sty is not allowed. Submissions that do not comply with this format risk rejection without consideration of their merits. To promote inclusion of more figures in the submitted papers, submission will have a strict number of lines limit and the possibility to have one page more compared to previous years. REGULAR PAPERS HAVE AT MOST 400 lines (excluding references and figures) AND AT MOST 13 PAGES (excluding references). Short papers have at most 200 lines (excluding references and figures) AND at most 7 pages (excluding references). The claims of the paper should be fully substantiated. If this information does not fit within the page limits, the authors should include it in a clearly marked appendix, whose length is not constrained and which the reviewers may read at their own discretion. All submissions will be handled through EasyChair at the web site : https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gd2020 POSTERS & CONTEST ----------------- Submissions of posters on graph drawing, network visualization, and related areas are solicited. The poster session will provide a forum for the communication of late-breaking research results (which may also appear elsewhere) to the GD community. Authors of posters should prepare an abstract (up to 2 pages in the LNCS style) that must be submitted together with the poster itself. Details about the traditional Graph Drawing Contest held at the conference are provided on the conference web site. PUBLICATION ----------- All accepted papers (including the two-page poster abstracts) will appear in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The LNCS proceedings will be made freely accessible to the GD community upon publication and openly accessible to anyone after four years. Authors will be required to submit their accepted papers to the arXiv repository, in order to provide immediate and unrestricted open access to them. The self-archived arXiv papers shall consist of the LNCS proceedings version (identical, except for possibly changed references to the appendix resp. the arXiv version) plus an optional clearly marked appendix. Subsequent submissions of revised versions of the paper to the arXiv (known as arXiv ``replacements’’) are allowed. Failure to comply with these guidelines will impede the publication of the paper. Each paper or poster must be presented at the conference by an author (barring unforeseen circumstances), otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings. Should any visa restriction prevent an author from attending the conference and presenting a paper, he/she will be given ways to participate and give the talk via electronic means. Selected papers from both tracks will be invited for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications (JGAA). The authors of two selected papers in Track 2 will be invited to submit a substantially extended version of their work to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG). Furthermore, two regular TVCG papers will be presented by their authors in a TVCG papers session.

CFP: Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) 2020 - 10-11 September, London, UK
by Kai Xu 10 Jun '20

10 Jun '20

Call for Papers: Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) 2020 https://cgvc.org.uk/CGVC2020/ CGVC 2020, hosted by King's College London in London UK, is the 38th annual computer graphics, visualization, and visual computing gathering organized by the Eurographics UK Chapter. The objective of Computer Graphics & Visual Computing (CGVC) is to foster greater exchange between visual computing researchers and practitioners, and to draw more researchers and industry partners in the UK, Europe, and abroad to enter this rapidly growing area of research. CGVC has an expanded scope to include all areas of visual computing, and a steadily more wide-spread visibility that achieves a more wide-spread impact. Given the corona virus situation we currently live in, to allow maximum interaction, we are planning for various levels of virtual and interactive attendance. # Important Dates Submission deadline: Friday, 5th June 202 Notification of Acceptance: Tuesday, 21 July 2020 Camera Ready: Friday, 7 August 2020 Conference: 10-11 September 2020 (Thursday - Friday) # Topics include, but are not limited to: • Computer Graphics • Visualization • Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality • Computer Animation • Computer Vision • Acquisition and Reconstruction Techniques • Graphics Architectures and Acceleration Hardware • Image processing • Rendering Techniques • Medical Imaging • Multimedia Visualisation • Information Visualization and Visual Analytics • Visual Data Science • Visual computing-related machine learning • Visualisation and Big Data • Geospatial Visualisation • Mobile Apps and Interactive Devices • Human Computer Interaction, Robotics, and Haptics • Computer-based Arts and Entertainment • Computer Games # Paper Types We seek contributions in the form of full papers, short papers, viewpoint papers and extended abstracts (posters). Optional single-blind or double-blind - reviewers’ identities are not revealed. Authors may choose whether to anonymize their submission or not. Full papers - a paper of up to 8 pages describing completed research, plus 1 page of references only. Papers are refereed, by members of the EGUK programme committee. 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 process by an international program committee. 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) 12-15 minute presentations. Viewpoint Papers - CGVC also features a viewpoint paper track (also known as position paper) which 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. 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 the physical, life or social sciences, engineering, or commerce, for example, or 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. Accepted viewpoint papers will be electronically archived, are fully citable publications and will be presented orally at the conference in (approximately) 12-15 minute presentations. Extended Abstracts / Posters - 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). We solicit poster submissions in the form of 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 process. Accepted posters, size A1 recommended, will be presented at the poster viewing session of the conference. In addition to directly submitted posters, some submissions to the full, short and viewpoint paper tracks, that are not accepted for publication but are deemed suitable, will be offered an opportunity to be presented as posters. Such submissions will not require an additional review process. Traditionally, the materials in a poster/sketch can be reused later by the original authors for a more extensive publication (e.g., a full paper) with more detailed content and mature results. This should not be considered as self-plagiarism. However, as posters/sketches are citable, researchers are encouraged to acknowledge novel ideas and results presented in posters/sketches. A poster may describe a piece of work in any aspect of visual computing. For posters, we particularly encourage a summary report of collaborative projects, work-in-progress, and application case studies. Accepted abstracts do not appear in the Eurographics digital library. An extended abstract and industrial project abstract are not considered as a paper publication, instead being similar to a SIGGRAPH one‐page sketch or to a conference poster without an associated paper. As such, presenting an extended abstract at this conference has no effect on your ability to publish a fuller version of the same work in another venue. Rita Borgo, Alfie Abdul-Rahman, Panagiotis D. Ritsos, and Kai Xu

27 Apr '20

====================================== 8th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization (VISSOFT 2020) September 28-29, 2020, Adelaide, Australia http://vissoft20.dcc.uchile.cl/ ====================================== CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS Software visualization is a broad research area whose general goal is to enhance and promote the theory, realization, and evaluation of approaches to visually encode and analyze software systems, including software development practices, evolution, structure, and software runtime behavior. Software visualization is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from information visualization and computer graphics and applying these in the software engineering domain. The VISSOFT conference is a venue for publishing and discussing research related to software visualization. VISSOFT brings together a community of researchers from software engineering, information visualization, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, and data science to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to the visualization of software. VISSOFT 2020, co-held with ICSME 2020, encourages a variety of submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems using visualization. This includes technical papers, empirical studies, applications, case studies, and papers that present novel ideas and tools. ====================================== TOPICS OF INTEREST - Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for analysis of software engineering data. This includes source code, dependencies, repositories, developer social networks such as StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation, runtime logs, and DevOps data. - Visualization to support software development activities, including design, requirements engineering, program comprehension, software testing, and debugging. - Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization. - Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education. - Integration of software visualization tools with development environments. - Empirical evaluation of software visualizations, including eye tracking. - Industrial experience with using software visualization. - Applications of new technologies to enhance software visualization, including virtual reality, augmented/mixed reality, gamification, and artificial intelligence. - Analytical approaches to understand software-related aspects based on data science concepts. We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results. Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to technical papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a Tool Demonstrations (TD) track. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. ====================================== SUBMISSION TYPES **Technical papers**: A technical paper contribution must describe an in-depth and mature research result relevant to software visualization. The content of a technical paper can be at a maximum 10 pages long (including all figures, tables, and appendices). However, the 10 page limit does not include the bibliography, which is limited by two additional pages. The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors who wish to submit a video can submit the video together with their paper if the size of the video is smaller than 50 MB, otherwise a URL to the video should be provided. After the notification, authors can also submit an artifact (tool, data, model, etc.) Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2020 **NIER/TD Track**: The NIER/TD Track of VISSOFT accepts two types of contributions: New Ideas and Emerging Results (NIER) and Tool Demonstrations (TD). Both NIER and TD contributions have a page limit of 5 (including bibliography). NIER contributions describe work-in-progress and preliminary exciting results. Authors are encouraged to include open questions and even provocative hypotheses to get early feedback on their research ideas. A sound evaluation is not required for NIER contributions. One of the goals of the NIER Track is to foster collaboration among different research groups. Tool Demonstrations describe the design or actual utilization of software visualization tools, with a focus on the architecture of the tool or its use to gain new insights. During the conference, we will organize an informal tool demonstration session where authors of TD papers are requested to demonstrate their tools. The submission may also contain a link to a screencast (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo) to show the interaction possibilities offered by the tool. ====================================== IMPORTANT DATES Abstract submission: June 22, 2020 Technical paper submission: June 26, 2020 NIER/TD paper submission: June 26, 2020 Artifact submission: August 1, 2020 Author notification: July 24, 2020 Camera-Ready: August 7, 2020 Conference date: September 28-29, 2020 ====================================== **Statement on COVID-19 (Coronavirus)** The VISSOFT Organizing Committee is aware of the current COVID-19 situation. At this time, the conference is planned to take place as scheduled. The committee will continue monitoring conditions and will provide updates if plans change. Stay safe & we hope to see you at VISSOFT 2020! Best, Craig Anslow (General Chair) Andreas Schreiber and Takashi Ishio (Program Co-Chairs) https://twitter.com/IEEEVISSOFT
