Graphics Interface 2023 - Call for Papers
by Charles Perin 10 Nov '22

10 Nov '22

Graphics Interface 2023 invites submissions covering all aspects of HCI, graphics, and visualization. Research at the intersections of these areas, as well as intersections with computer vision, machine learning, and artificial intelligence are also encouraged. All paper submissions are rigorously peer reviewed by at least three reviewers. Graphics Interface is the Canadian annual conference devoted to computer graphics, interactive systems, and human-computer interaction. It is the oldest regularly-scheduled computer graphics and HCI conference; the first conference was held in 1969. GI 2023 will be in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, between May 30 and June 2, 2023. For more details, visit http://graphicsinterface.org/conference/2023/ All accepted GI papers will be indexed in the ACM Digital Library and will be open access in the GI archive. The Michael A. J. Sweeney Award will be awarded at the conference to the best student papers in computer graphics and HCI. Additionally, authors of top papers will be invited to submit revised and extended versions to the journals IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) and Computers & Graphics. Conference Format GI 2023 will be a hybrid conference. Attendees/presenters will have the option of attending and presenting in person or remotely. We encourage attendance in person to fully take advantage of the extensive opportunities to connect with other researchers in a great environment, and to build community. However, we will also facilitate remote attendance for those who cannot make it in person. Registration fees for paper presenters will be the same regardless of whether they present in person or remotely. Submission Instructions Following the lead of other conferences in Graphics/HCI, we are using a multiple deadline model for GI. Papers can be submitted to one of two deadlines strategically placed by considering other graphics and HCI deadlines. While the first deadline is already decided, the exact date for the second deadline will be announced near the end of 2023: First submission/review cycle: * Paper Deadline: Friday, December 16, 2022, 11:59 pm AoE * Papers assigned to IPC: Tuesday, December 20, 2021 * Expert reviews due: Friday, January 13, 2023 * Author Notification: Wednesday, January 18, 2023 Second submission/review cycle: * Paper deadline: End of March / Beginning of April * Papers assigned to IPC: tbd * Expert reviews due: tbd * Author Notification: tbd Submitting to either of the deadlines is equivalent. The review process will be the same for each. The only differences are the submission deadline and notification dates. All accepted papers will be presented at the GI 2023 conference. The advantage of submitting to an earlier deadline is earlier author notification. Papers rejected from an earlier deadline can be significantly revised and resubmitted for the later deadline. Submit your work in the format described in the Paper Formatting Instructions page (https://graphicsinterface.org/conference/2023/submissions/formatting-instru…) to OpenReview at https://openreview.net/group?id=graphicsinterface.org/Graphics_Interface/20… Review Process GI 2023 will use OpenReview. This system, which has been used for GI since 2020, allows for increased transparency and accountability during peer review. * GI 2023 submissions will continue to be double-blind: authors will not know reviewers' identities, and reviewers will not know authors' identities. * Immediately upon submission, each paper will become available publicly and anonymously and time-stamped accordingly. This eliminates the need to post submissions simultaneously on ArXiv, and consequently authors are prohibited from deanonymizing their papers by posting them on ArXiv or elsewhere. * After the review period, all reviewers' scores and comments will be simultaneously revealed publicly and anonymously for each submission. The author identities of each accepted submission will be revealed, whereas authors of rejected papers may decide to withdraw their submission if they do not wish to keep a de-anonymized and time-stamped public record of their submission.

CfP EuroVis 2023 Workshop: VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software
by Krone, Michael 03 Nov '22

03 Nov '22

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to contribute to: ******************************************************************************* VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software (co-located with EuroVis 2023) June 12th, 2023, Leipzig, Germany ******************************************************************************* Over the years, many visualization methods and tools have been developed and published by the visualization research community. However, most of these are prototypes and never reach a state that can be reliably used by the target audience, e.g., domain scientists. Also, availability of these prototypes as source code or at least as executables is still the exception rather than the norm. The VisGap workshop aims to shed light on this gap between research and practical applicability, examine the obstacles every researcher faces, and propose solutions to overcome this problem as a community. VisGap'23 aims at gathering experts from all over the visualization community in order to advance the way our field works with software, sustains software, and values the effort our members put into developing said software. Following the scheme of EGPGV, VisGap'23 has two submission deadlines: early submission in mid-December and regular submission in early March. This gives authors the flexibility to choose between the two submission deadlines. The early submission deadline also allows authors improving their manuscripts and resubmitting them to the regular deadline in case they are not successful in the early review stage, similar to a major revision. We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, with one additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book, or must present a substantial extension of previous work (at least 30%). Papers must be submitted through PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/) All submissions will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review process. Accepted papers will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored in the Eurographics Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the VisGap'23 workshop to present their work. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Requirements for successful visualization in applications in general - Domain-specific requirements for visualizations - Reflections on the research community and the visualization software ecosystem - Incentives and funding for developing/maintaining visualization research software - Legal requirements (e.g., licensing, certification) for visualizations in applications - Case studies of (un)successful visualization solutions in applications - Requirements for novel visualization libraries - Verification and validation in visualization (applications) - Reproducibility of visualizations Important Dates (Early Submission Deadline) ******************************************************************************* Early Paper Submission Deadline: December 16, 2022 Early Notification of Acceptance: January 27, 2023 Workshop Date: June 12, 2023 More info: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap23/ Organizers and Contact ******************************************************************************* Christina Gillmann, TU Kaiserslautern, Germany Michael Krone, Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen, Germany Guido Reina, University of Stuttgart, Germany Thomas Wischgoll, Wright State University, Dayton, USA If you have any questions, please contact us: mailto: visgap(a)googlegroups.com Best regards, Christina Gillmann, Michael Krone, Guido Reina, Thomas Wischgoll VisGap'23 Organizing Committee
