ISVC 2020: 15th International Symposium on Visual Computing October 5-7, 2020 San Diego, California, USA http://www.isvc.net Call for Papers, Tutorials, and Special Tracks The 15th International Symposium on Visual Computing (ISVC’20) will take place in San Diego, California, USA, October 5-7, 2020. ISVC provides a common forum for researchers, scientists, engineers and practitioners to present their latest research findings, ideas, developments and applications in visual computing. In particular, ISVC seeks papers contributing to the state of the art and practice in the four main areas of visual computing: (1) computer vision, (2) computer graphics, (2) visualization and (4) virtual reality. Of special interest are papers that combine ideas from two or more areas. More details can be found on the ISVC website. The symposium will consist of invited and contributed presentations dealing with all aspects of visual computing. In addition, it will include six keynote presentations, several tutorials, special tracks, and poster sessions. The symposium's proceedings are published by Springer-Verlag in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science series. Information on abstracting and indexing of the LNCS series can be found on the ISVC website. A "best paper” award will be sponsored by Springer-Verlag and industry.

Papers submitted to ISVC must not be currently under consideration for publication in another conference. Each paper will receive at least three (3) blind reviews and should not contain names or other information revealing authors’ identity. Papers will be reviewed with an emphasis on potential to contribute to the state of the art in the field. Selection criteria include accuracy and originality of ideas, clarity and significance of results, and presentation quality. Papers should be submitted in camera-ready format. The length should match that intended for final publication; please visit the ISVC website for submission details. http://www.isvc.net/index.php/paper-submission/ Attendance ISVC is a premier forum for presenting and discussing current research in visual computing. At least one author of each accepted paper must complete the symposium registration, attend the symposium in person, and present the paper. If none of the authors of a paper can attend the symposium and present their paper(s) due to unforeseen reasons, they should contact the steering committee chair to make substitute arrangements. Video or Skype presentations are not acceptable and any papers not presented at the conference without a valid reason will be withdrawn from the symposium proceedings.
