Full Papers

Formatting instructions

In order to submit to EuroVis 2016, authors prepare their submissions as a PDF file using the EuroVis 2016 LaTeX2e Style (including a document class, a style file, a sample source file, and a corresponding PDF output file). Note: for the final version of your paper, please use the most recent version of the style file, available since 17 December 2015 (the new file is slightly larger).

Please make sure that an image embedded in your paper does not contain transparent pixels (i.e., an alpha channel of a transparent color), because this will lead to problems when the resulting PDF is displayed or printed.

Submissions can also include supplementary material such as videos or executable programs, up to a limit of 50MB for the entire submission, including the PDF file. We encourage the use of digital videos to support paper submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs to maximize the chances that the reviewers can see it.

Author Guidelines

EuroVis 2016 full paper submissions will undergo a two-stage review process. The review process is double-blind meaning that submissions must not reveal the identity of the authors (see below). All full papers accepted to EuroVis 2016 appear in a special issue of Computer Graphics Forum, containing the conference proceedings, and will appear at the same time in the Eurographics digital library.

Note that for each full paper the submission of an abstract is mandatory by the abstract deadline, with completed papers due on by the full paper deadline. View the important dates page for details.

All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book. Concurrent submissions are strictly forbidden. If it is determined that a manuscript is simultaneously under the consideration by another publication venue, the manuscript will be rejected.

Full papers will undergo a revision and review cycle after initial notification of review results in order to ensure they are acceptable for publication and presentation in the journal. At least one author of an accepted paper must attend the conference to present the work, and authors will also be required to present a brief (less than one-minute) summary of their talk at the opening papers preview session (also called papers fast-forward).

We expect that the submissions will clearly discuss the novel and significant contributions as well as place them in the context of prior art in the field. Authors should highlight how their contributions differ from previous work and advance the state of the art in visualization. Among the venues for important prior art are journals such as Computer Graphics Forum and IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics as well as conferences like EuroVis, Vis, InfoVis, VAST, and PacificVis.

EuroVis 2016 uses a double-blind review process for the first review cycle. Author identities will be hidden from the external reviewers. Authors should therefore not include their name or institution on the cover page of the initial submission, and should make an effort to ensure that there is no self-revealing information in the text. However, you will still need to provide a complete list of authors when submitting your abstract so that members of the program committee can avoid conflicts of interest during reviewer assignment. All authors must be specified in the submission system (but not in the paper) at the time of the submission. Adding additional authors after the acceptance of a paper is not acceptable.

Authors should cite all relevant previous work and clearly explain the differences between it and their paper, including their own previous work. Authors should do this in a way that does not reveal which references are part of their own work. For example, do not write "In our previous work on foobar [13] ... " and then have "[13] Removed for blind review" for the citation. Instead, discuss the work in the third person: "We build on the previous work of Smith et al. [13] ... " and include the full reference details. If it is impossible to do so, for instance because the work is submitted or in press but not yet publicly available, then include an anonymized version of the relevant document(s) with your submission as supplemental material. Authors do not include an acknowledgments section in the intitial submission, nor should they post their submitted manuscript on the web before the notification date of the first review cycle.

Our conference will adhere to the following ethics guidelines for reviewers, which can be found here: Reviewer Guidelines

STAR Papers

Formatting Instructions

The sketch as well as the full STAR should be submitted as a PDF file using the LaTeX2e Style for full papers (the archive includes a document class, a style file, a sample source file, and a corresponding PDF output file). Note, however, that the length and content of STARS is different from that of full papers; see Submission Guidelines and the CFP for details. Submissions can also include supplementary material (in case of videos, please use only the most common video codecs to maximize the chances that the reviewers can play these).

Contributions must be written in English.

LaTeX2e Style Δ

Author Guidelines

A state-of-the-art report submitted to EuroVis 2016 must be original, unpublished work. Any work that has previously been published or simultaneously been submitted in a substantially similar form to any other conference or journal will be rejected.

At EuroVis 2016, the authors of a STAR will be invited to present the report at a level that also allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow their presentation. We plan to schedule each STAR as a 60-90 minute presentation as in Eurographics conferences (subject to the schedule management of the EuroVis 2016 programme, but ensuring that STAR presentations will be given a longer time slot than those of full papers).

Contributions must be presented in English.

Short Papers

Formatting Instructions

In order to submit to EuroVis 2016 Short Papers, authors prepare their submissions as a PDF file using the EuroVis 2016 Full Paper LaTeX2e style (including a document class, a style file, a sample source file, and a corresponding PDF output file), but staying within 4 pages (plus an optional page only with references). Please make sure that an image embedded in your paper does not contain transparent pixels (i.e., an alpha channel of a transparent color), because this will lead to problems when the resulting PDF is displayed or printed.

Submissions can also include supplementary material such as videos or executable programs, up to a limit of 50MB for the entire submission, including the PDF file. We encourage the use of digital videos to support paper submissions, particularly if part of, or all of the work covers interactive techniques. Please use only the most common video codecs, e.g., MPEG, MP2, MP4 and versions thereof, to maximize the chances that the reviewers can view it.

Posters
