State-of-the-Art Reports
State-of-the-Art Reports (STARs) that provide an up-to-date and comprehensive overview of a special topic of current interest that is related to Computer Graphics will be included in the Eurographics 2011 conference programme. We encourage the submission of STAR proposals on topics that have not yet been covered in any recent previous STAR. A STAR can also address the use of Computer Graphics techniques in a different scientific discipline or in industrial practice. For examples of suitable STAR topics, take a look at the proceedings of recent Eurographics conferences.
At Eurographics 2011, the authors of a STAR will
be given 90 minutes to present the report at a level that also
allows non-experts in the particular domain to follow this
presentation. The conference registration fee will be waived for one
author per accepted STAR. Authors will be encouraged to subsequently
submit the STAR as a regular contribution to Computer Graphics
Forum.
For any question concerning STAR submissions
please contact the STARs co-chairs by
e-mail.
Authors should normally receive a confirmation of receipt of their
proposal and should contact the chairs again if one is not received
within three days. Some problems have been reported with large
e-mailed attachments (over 3Mb in size).
Submission Details
STAR proposals (in PDF) should be submitted via email to the STARs co-chairs. If possible submitters are advised to e-mail a link to a location from which the larger document can be downloaded.A STAR proposal should be, in essence, a short version of the planned STAR, outlining the topic, documenting its relation and relevance to computer graphics, including a planned table of contents and a major subset of the targeted literature references, as well as including brief biographies of the authors, demonstrating their qualification to produce the proposed STAR.
Such a proposal should be 3-5 pages in length.
Deadline
The deadline for the submission of STAR
proposals is October 8th, 2010, with notification of
acceptance on December 7th, 2010.
