EuroVis 2011: Call for Posters & Demos
-++----------------------------------------------------------------------
 || Poster Chair: Július Parulek (Julius.Parulek@UiB.no)
 || Submissions are due March 11, 2011
 || Notification date is April 4, 2011
 |

-+  With this call for posters & demos,
 |  we invite the active participation in EuroVis 2011
 |  (June 1-3, 2011, in Bergen, Norway)
 |  with a poster and/or an interactive demo.

-+  EuroVis 2011,
 |  i.e., the Eurographics / IEEE Symposium on Visualization,
 |  is annually organized
 |  by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization
 |  and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee.
 |  General URL: http://www.EuroVis.org/

-+  EuroVis 2011 Posters and Demos will be exhibited at the EuroVis
 |  2011 venue.  In the poster/demo session, the presenters are
 |  supposed to discuss their work with interested EuroVis attendees.
 |  Additionally, there will be a preview session, where presenters
 |  will have 60 seconds each to advertise their poster/demo to the
 |  overall EuroVis audience.  For the case of interactive demos,
 |  we recommend to submit them together with an accompanying poster.

-+  We welcome preliminary findings, which, for example, are not yet
 |  mature enough for a full paper, interesting research work with a
 |  contribution smaller than in a typical research paper (student
 |  projects can fall into this category, for example), or late-
 |  breaking research where the presenter can benefit from the feedback
 |  from the community before writing a full paper.  There is no
 |  explicit requirement of novelty with respect to the involved
 |  research.  For instance, we welcome the demonstration of
 |  open-source visualization software, even if its research aspects
 |  have already been published in another venue, the presentation of
 |  commercial visualization software, or of videos showing
 |  visualization systems in action.  Although a full literature review
 |  is not expected, the most relevant previous work should be cited,
 |  particularly if new research results are presented.

-+  The collection of accepted abstracts will be distributed to the
 |  attendees of EuroVis 2011 (xeroxed, black and white only).  Still
 |  they will not be included in the archival proceedings or indexed in
 |  a digital library.  Thus, posters do not preclude the later
 |  submission of work as a full research paper at EuroVis 2012 or any
 |  other venue.

-+  Each poster/demo abstract will be read and evaluated by the Poster
 |  Chair of EuroVis 2011 (in collaboration with the other EuroVis 2011
 |  Chairs).  The submissions will be evaluated based on whether the
 |  content is suitable for EuroVis and that it is not a repetition of
 |  the work of others.  The authors of posters that are not accepted
 |  will receive a summary review of their poster from the chair(s)
 |  explaining the decision and providing feedback.

-+  Suggested topics for posters/demos include (but are not limited to):
 *  Visualization Taxonomies and Models
 *  Spatial Data in Visualization
 *  Non-Spatial Data
 *  Large Data Visualization
 *  Visualization Techniques
 *  Visual Analytics, Visual Data Mining, and Knowledge Discovery
 *  Interaction
 *  General Topics
 *  Evaluation and User Studies
 *  Application Areas of Visualization

 |  Call for Papers at www.UiB.no/EuroVis2011/call_for_papers.php

-+  Before submitting a poster/demo abstract,
 |  please note the following:
 |  -- Poster abstract submissions should be in two-column format
 |     and should be one page in length (in exceptional cases, two
 |     pages could be acceptable).  The author(s) should prepare
 |     and electronically submit a PDF version of their poster/demo
 |     abstract following the EuroVis style guidelines, see
 |     http://www.UiB.no/EuroVis2011/format.php for details.
 |     The submissions need not be anonymous.
 |  -- All abstract submissions should be sent in PDF format by
 |     eMail to the EuroVis 2011 Poster Chair Julius.Parulek@UiB.no
 |     before 23:59 GMT/UTC on March 11, 2011.
 |  -- The submission should clearly state, if a demo and/or video
 |     will be presented during EuroVis 2011.
 |  -- Notifications about acceptance/rejection of posters/demos
 |     will be sent on April 4, 2011
 |  -- At least one of the poster/demo authors must be present at
 |     the conference.

-+  All questions regarding the EuroVis 2011 Poster/Demo Program
 |  should be directed to Július Parulek, Julius.Parulek@UiB.no.
