EuroVis 2025: Call for workshops
by Alfie Abdul Rahman 17 Oct '24

17 Oct '24

EuroVis 2025: Call for workshops https://www.eurovis2025.lu/for-submitters/workshops We solicit workshops related to all areas of visualization. These informal workshops in EuroVis provide a setting for participants to discuss advanced topics in visualization, involve experts in the field, disseminate work in progress, and promote new ideas. Workshops at EuroVis are open to all registered attendees (“invitation only” workshops will not be approved). Important Dates * Proposal Submission Monday, November 11, 2024 * Notification Monday, November 25, 2024 All deadlines are at 11:59 pm (23:59) AoE Anywhere on Earth (AoE)<https://time.is/Anywhere_on_Earth>. Workshops should: * Emphasize emerging ideas, concepts, or technologies that are currently too nascent or too interdisciplinary for a full symposium; * Encourage information flow not solely from the presenters to the audience but rather engage the participation of all attendees, for example, through collective or small group discussions. Possible topics may include emerging or persisting problems, developing research agendas, networking to find common interests and possibilities for cooperation, interacting with domain experts involving analysis of their domain problems, etc. When choosing workshop topics to propose, please consider pre-approved workshops and try to avoid large overlaps: * EGPGV * EuroVA Note that workshops remain extremely well attended, but as new associated events and publication formats are introduced to EuroVis, the number of submitted papers may drop from previous years. So, a more interactive format (rather than one based mainly on presentations of submitted papers) is encouraged. Submission requirements Workshop proposals should include: * a title, * the contact details of the organizers, * a brief description of the organizers’ background, related publications, and research, * the planned activities (e.g., mainly talks, mainly interactive sessions, a mix), including an outline schedule for the program—workshops are strongly encouraged, though not required, to consider ways to engage all participants interactively, * the intended result and impact of the workshop, * a brief justification for why this workshop is necessary (e.g., why would the topic benefit from a more informal setting, in what ways is the topic emergent or a relatively poor fit for the main conference program, etc.), * a chosen measure for a successful CFP (e.g., number of submissions), possibly including an outline for a “backup policy” (e.g., changing the workshop format or voluntarily withdrawing the workshop before acceptance notification is sent, but should not require the workshop organizers to submit emergency papers to their own workshop), * a statement of the organization and the development of the list of participants (intended size, detailed selection procedures, and timeline for finalizing workshop presenters), * a list of any special technology needed, * the number of poster slots requested, if the workshop intends to feature posters, and * the proposed dates for the call for participation, author notification, and camera-ready deadlines (author notification must be before the early registration deadline for EuroVis; for inclusion of materials in the EG digital library and/or the downloadable proceedings, the camera-ready deadline must be 4 weeks prior to the conference). Because the number of workshop time slots is limited, half-day workshop proposals are strongly encouraged. However, well-justified full-day proposals will also be considered. Full-day proposals may optionally state what changes would be implemented to allow the workshop schedule to fit within a half day. If the proposed workshop is a follow-up of a previous workshop, please include a critical reflection of the prior workshop(s), including a discussion of the results and evidence of impact. The proposal should not exceed four pages. Please use the template file from https://www.eurovis2025.lu/fileadmin/files/egPublStyle-EuroVis_full-short-s… Attendance At least one author for each paper must register and attend the conference in person. Evaluation criteria The workshops aim to include various topics and a healthy mix of new and recurring events. Repeat submissions will be partially judged by the previous workshop's success. Workshop success will be judged subjectively, but popularity, research impact, visibility, and attendee feedback will all be considered. Specifically, the workshop proposals will be evaluated according to the following criteria: * The potential for inspiring people, being influential, and opening new lines of research, * The degree to which the workshop provides a more interactive environment for participants—all things being equal, preference will be given to workshops that emphasize participant interaction, * The coherence of the proposed topic and the degree to which it would benefit from a workshop environment, * The ability to attract people and make them excited about the workshop, * The appropriateness with respect to EuroVis topics, * If this workshop has special needs, the feasibility of the proposed plan, including financial, logistics, scheduling, and coordination impact, is also important. The workshop chairs will balance the proposed topics to support the diversity of topics within EuroVis and complement the main program. Organizers should consider what steps they will take to encourage diverse participants in their workshop (e.g., a balance of experience, background, gender, etc.) to make participation as inclusive as possible. If accepted, workshops are required to prepare a short summary (50–100 words) for the workshop website and the web program. Workshop Support The workshop organizers will receive the following support from the EuroVis conference: * One complimentary 1-day registration for an invited speaker, * Room and AV support suitable for around 50 attendees, * Food and beverages for attendees: coffee breaks throughout the day, Sunday evening opening reception, space in the poster display area, if requested (from a limited pool set aside for standard workshops; available space depends on the specifics of the venue; early requests given priority over late requests), * PCS (Precision Conference Solutions) support for managing submissions and the review process, * EuroGraphics Digital Library publication of the workshop proceedings, if requested (considered archival). Note that each workshop participant will need to register to attend the EuroVis conference. Workshop Chairs * Alfie Abdul-Rahman, King's College London * Guido Reina, Universität Stuttgart

[PhD Opening at Utrecht University] PhD in Visual Analytics for Explainable Visual Rehabilitation
by Chatzimparmpas, A. (Angelos) 02 Oct '24

02 Oct '24

Dear colleagues, We are hiring a fully funded PhD Student at Utrecht University, NL! Do you want to develop a Visual Analytics solution to help therapists monitor the rehabilitation of visually impaired patients? This PhD project is for you! In this PhD project, several teams (clinical centers, serious game developers, and academic institutions) combine their multidisciplinary skills to create and deploy a solution for rehabilitating patients having visual impairments by offering them training scenarios using a virtual reality (VR) setup. As PhD candidate in this project, you will conduct independent, high-quality research resulting in a doctoral dissertation. Your research will focus on designing a Visual Analytics solution to analyse data from rehabilitating patients with hemianopsia (partial blindness). With the support of explainable AI models, you will develop Visual Analytics dashboards for exploring complex data recorded from the training patients including eye tracking, task progress, and success rates. By quantifying model uncertainty, these dashboards will enable therapists to monitor and improve patients’ visual rehabilitation progress. You will collaborate with a diverse project team of academics, clinicians, and software developers to realize the goals of the project. Do you want to know more and apply? Follow the link below: https://www.uu.nl/en/organisation/working-at-utrecht-university/jobs/phd-in… The application deadline is 15 November 2024. For more information, please contact Dr. Chatzimparmpas at a.chatzimparmpas(a)uu.nl<mailto:a.chatzimparmpas@uu.nl>.

*workshops2025(a)ieeevr.org* *IEEE VR 2025: The 32nd IEEE Conference on Virtual Reality and 3D User Interfaces* March 8-12, 2025 | Saint-Malo, France Important Dates Each deadline is 23:59:59 AoE (Anywhere on Earth) == GMT/UTC-12:00 on the stated day, no matter where the submitter is located. - *November 04, 2024*: Proposals and CFPs due - *November 11, 2024*: Notification of results - *January 09, 2025*: Latest accepted workshop paper notification (only applies if the workshop organizers want proceedings included in the digital library) - *January 16, 2025*: Camera-ready submission of workshop papers for inclusion in the IEEE Digital Library (only applies if the workshop organizers want proceedings included in the digital library) - *March 8-9, 2025*: Workshops (held on the first two days of the conference) Overview We invite individuals or teams interested in organizing such a workshop to submit proposals that will work at the conference venue for IEEE VR 2025. We encourage workshops to consider this in their initial submission to maximize participation, as IEEE VR2025 will be held in person. We invite individuals or teams interested in organizing such a workshop to submit proposals. Workshops will be held during the first two days of the conference: March 8th (Saturday) and March 9th 2025 (Sunday). Workshops are intended to bring together researchers, developers, technology providers, practitioners, and users for a lively and interactive discussion of issues through an informal exchange of ideas and information. Workshops may target a specific application area, a specific research area, or a topic of general interest. Workshops should be more than just mini-conferences of paper presentations. Workshops may include, but are not limited to: - A focus on creating and exchanging new ideas and opportunities to meet new people - A balance of formal presentations with informal discussion and ideation - Emphasis on attendee participation and interactive discussions - Thought experiments and playing with ideas - Curated panels - Position papers - Live application development by both speakers and attendees - Inclusive VR and geographical diversity - Breakout groups and presentation of ideas generated by the groups - A summary session concluding with lessons learned, insights gained, and new ideas generated from the workshop - Continued discussion after the conference. Submission Guidelines Workshop submissions require a short two-page maximum proposal and a call for papers (CFP). - The Workshop Proposal is an internal document for decision-making purposes only. Organizers are welcome to email a PDF proposal to the Workshop Chairs at *workshops2025(a)ieeevr.org*, which should address the following: - Workshop title and acronym. - The goal of organizing the workshop. - Target audience and/or attendee prerequisites. - Has the workshop been organized before? - If yes, how many times has it been previously organized? - If yes, how many people attended the last time it was held? (Typical workshop rooms will have between 30 and 80 seats; if you seriously expect more, please indicate an estimation of attendees) - How long do you expect the workshop to be? Most workshops are half-day events, but full-day is possible, typically for established workshops with significant numbers of submissions. Please choose between these three options: Full day, could be full day or half day, half day. - Primary organizer name. - Primary organizer email. - Names, contact information, and short bios of all the organizers. - Other speakers and/or contributors. Do you have keynote speakers in mind already? Please list them here. - How are you planning to review submissions for your workshop? Are you running your submission system like EasyChair? It is generally possible to use the main conference's Precision Conference system, but there is a cost attached to that, so we need to know how many workshops will need it to see if we can absorb the cost. If you plan to use the Precision Conference System, please mention it. - Are you planning on publishing your papers in the IEEE Digital Library? Workshops are optional to have papers that will be submitted to IEEE Digital Library. It is a powerful motivation for authors, but it will require adhering to some main conference deadlines, so you may have to do your reviews reasonably quickly to make it in time (see important dates above). - List any technical requirements for workshop hosting, including space, audio/visual, computer, and communication needs. Workshop rooms typically have a projector and presenter podium. If you need anything else (power for demos, tables for discussion, poster boards for posters, etc.), please include it here. We cannot promise to provide everything, but we will try as much as possible. - Do you have constraints on which day the workshop needs to be? This typically depends on the keynote speaker's availability. Please be flexible; everybody wants a Sunday slot to save a day of travel, but that's only possible for some workshops. - Are there any conflicts with other workshops? Are any organizers also involved in different workshops, either as organizers or presenters? - The Workshop CFP is the public document that will be posted and publicized. Organizers are welcome to email the PDF of the CFP (two pages max), which should include: - The workshop title and acronym. - The workshop acronym you want to use. - The workshop website. - A brief overview and description of the workshop (500 words or less). - A list of the workshop's topics. - The workshop's format and submission guidelines including, for example, speakers, discussion format, duration, topics, types of acceptable papers (e.g., research papers, position papers), acceptable lengths, and acceptable format. Please follow the IEEE Computer Society VGTC conference format (https://tc.computer.org/vgtc/publications/conference/ <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2pAmNpIcj1NR1Y5-S4gFxV90…> ). - A list of important dates (if applicable to the format), including - Abstract deadline (if applicable). - Submission deadline. - Notification deadline. - Camera-ready deadline. - A list of the workshop organizers, including their affiliations and how to contact them. The deadline for the workshop proposals and CFP submissions is *Monday, November 4, 2024 (AoE)*. Results will be notified on *Monday, November 11, 2024 (AoE)*. Accepted workshop CFPs might be posted and publicized directly. Workshop organizers are expected to distribute their CFP and announce the workshops through their professional networks if accepted. As listed in the Workshops CFP submission, workshop organizers must provide a workshop website and are expected to update that website as workshop details become better defined. In case the workshop has contributions that should be included in the IEEE digital library, workshop organizers are expected to issue any acceptance decisions to their contributors no later than *Thursday, January 9, 2025 (AoE)*, to allow sufficient time for delivering camera-ready material, as well as planning and advance registration for the conference. IEEE VR Workshops proceedings will be published electronically through the IEEE Digital Library, depending on the workshop organizers' on-time submission of the proceedings before the mandatory IEEE deadline of *Thursday, January 16, 2025 (AoE)*. Organizers of accepted workshops are encouraged to seek assistance from the Workshops Chairs to navigate this process. *For each accepted workshop, we will be able to provide one complimentary workshop/tutorial registration (Saturday- Sunday).* Contacts *workshops2025(a)ieeevr.org* For more information, to inquire about a particular tutorial topic, or to submit a proposal, please contact the Workshop Chairs at *workshops2025(a)ieeevr.org* - Rebecca Fribourg, *École Centrale Nantes, France* - Hugo Brument, *TU Wien, Austria* - Dirk Reiners, *University of Central Florida, USA* - Carolin Wienrich, *Julius-Maximilians Universität Würzburg, Germany* [image: beacon]

Overview Tutorials are an excellent opportunity to offer education in topics in our field for both novice and experienced researchers. We invite members of our community to submit proposals for 90-minute or half-day tutorials. We anticipate that both tutorials and workshops will be presented during in the first two days of the conference. Presenters and/or instructors are expected to attend in-person. Proposed tutorials may be introductory or advanced and should address topics of interest to the extended reality communities (virtual, mixed, or augmented reality), as well as the 3D user interface community. *Proposals will be evaluated on their relevance to the conference topics and the qualifications of the instructors*. We will strive for a balance of topics in the tutorial program and also consider the potential for interest and attendance. Upon review of submitted proposals, suggestions may be provided by the Tutorial chairs to submitters on how to improve their submission. Suggested topics include but are not limited to: ● 3D interaction ● Input devices ● Haptics, audio, and other non-visual interfaces ● Systems, toolkits, software frameworks, and game engines for VR/AR/MR ● Introduction to virtual, augmented, or mixed reality ● Computer graphics techniques for VR/AR/MR ● Advanced display technology ● Immersive projection technology ● Multi-user and distributed VR/AR/MR ● Serious games ● Tracking and sensing ● Modeling and simulation ● User studies and evaluation ● Immersion, presence, perception, and cognition ● Navigation and cybersickness ● Applications of VR/AR/MR ● Teleoperation and telepresence ● AI and VR/AR/MR ● Sanitation and hygiene for VR/AR/MR ● Online studies and remote data collection III. Submission Guidelines Proposals are welcome on topics that have been previously addressed; in addition, new topics, approaches, or insights are especially appreciated. Submissions should include a statement indicating how the proposal differs from recent tutorial presentations that may have approached a similar topic, or why it is important to offer it again. Topics taken from the list of suggested topics appropriate for paper submissions to the main conference are also welcome. Proposals for tutorials should be submitted electronically (PDF) and should include: ● Title ● Expected duration (90 minutes or half-day) ● A brief description of the topics to be addressed, including time allotted to each (roughly 500 words) ● The technical level and intended audience ● The expected value to that audience ● If the tutorial has been delivered before, include a description of where and when, and explain why it should be held again. This is required regardless of whether the proposers organized the previous tutorials themselves or the previous tutorials were taught by someone else. ● The names, contact information and a short biography (roughly 200 words each) for the proposed instructors. Tutorial submissions must be submitted via email to the Tutorials Chairs at tutorials2025(a)ieeevr.org <https://ieeevrpublicity-dot-yamm-track.appspot.com/2djMT0WEh_5b1nl84JbpIqhd…> . *For each accepted tutorial we will be able to provide one complimentary workshop/tutorial (Saturday-Sunday) registration.* IV.
