Dear colleagues, I would like to draw your attention to the Call for State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) of EuroVis 2020. https://conferences.eg.org/egev20/for-submitters/eurovis-for-submitters/euro... For the first time the two conferences Eurographics and Eurovis (EGEV) will run together, as a single event, to be hosted in Norrköping, Sweden. Best regards, Eurovis STAR Chairs Steffen Oeltze-Jafra, University of Magdeburg, Germany Noeska Smit, University of Bergen, Norway Bei Wang, University of Utah, USA *** Eurovis Call for STARS State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) are intended to provide up-to-date and comprehensive surveys on topics of interest to the visualization research community. We encourage the submission of STARs on topics that have not yet been covered in any recent STAR or other survey [1,2]. We welcome submissions that introduce emerging technologies, as well as proposals on more traditional visualization topics. We also welcome contributions from related disciplines and application areas demonstrating contributions to, or benefits from, the area of visualization including, but not limited to, visual computing, computer graphics, human-computer interaction, virtual reality, image processing, computer vision, psychology, geography, chemistry, computational fluid dynamics, data analysis, computational sciences, medicine, biology, economy, social science, etc. Like last year, all accepted Eurovis STAR reports will be published in Computer Graphics Forum. *** Important Dates October 7, 2019 Submission of STAR sketch (two pages, +references, +bibliography) October 28, 2019 Invitation for full STAR submission January 25, 2020 Submission of full STAR March 9, 2020 Review notification April 16, 2020 Second round submission April 30, 2020 Second review notification May 7, 2020 Camera ready version * All deadlines are at 23:59 UTC *** Instructions As part of the acceptance process into Computer Graphics Forum, STARs will undergo a multi-stage process. Electronic submission of the STAR sketch and full proposal is mandatory and will be conducted using the Precision Conference System. We plan to schedule each STAR as an approximately 45 minute presentation (subject to the schedule management of the Eurovis 2020 program). In any circumstance, a STAR presentation will be given a longer time slot than that of a full paper. Any accepted STARs are required to have at least one (paid) registered author to attend and present the STAR at the conference. *** STAR Sketch Submission First, authors are asked to submit an initial sketch by October 7, 2019. A STAR sketch briefly describes the planned STAR by outlining the topic, discussing its relevance to the visualization community, providing the planned structure and outline of the STAR together with all key references, and short biographies of the authors. The length of a STAR sketch main text is limited to two pages. To demonstrate the relevant expertise needed to produce the proposed STAR, authors are required to submit brief biographies of all authors as supplementary material. References and short biographies are considered supplementary pages and are not counted within the two page limit. STAR sketches will be reviewed by the STAR IPC and comments on suitability and relevance will be provided on October 28, 2019. *** Full STAR Submission In the next stage, authors are required to submit a full STAR. Full STAR submissions will then undergo a single blind, two-stage review process, similar to that of regular papers submitted to Computer Graphics Forum, where 3-4 external experts on the respective topic will evaluate the STAR. Full submissions are 25 pages maximum (including references). *** Eurovis STAR Chairs Steffen Oeltze-Jafra, University of Magdeburg, Germany Noeska Smit, University of Bergen, Norway Bei Wang, University of Utah, USA For any question concerning STAR submissions please contact the STAR chairs: stars@eurovis2020.org *** References [1] M.
