1. Why should or can a journal paper, such as a CGF paper, be presented in a conference?
When a submission is accepted by CGF, authors are offered an opportunity (subject to some conditions, see the answer to the next question) to present the paper at one of the upcoming EG conferences:
- Eurographics Conference (usually April, sometimes May),
- EuroVis Conference (usually June, sometimes May ),
- Symposium on Rendering (usually June),
- Symposium on Geometry Processing (usually July, sometimes June)
- Pacific Graphics (usually October)
- Symposium on Computer Animation (usually July, sometimes August)
- High Performance Graphics (usually July).
Presenting a technical paper in a conference or a symposium has many benefits. As many blogs stated, these benefits may include: disseminating one’s scientific and technical advancements, sharing one’s expertise with others, developing one’s presentation skills, getting out one’s comfort zone, building up professional connections, and improving one’s reputation and that of one’s organization. CGF strongly encourages authors to take up such an opportunity.
2. Can any CGF paper be presented in a CGF-associated conference?
All accepted standard submissions to CGF (excluding invited articles from conferences and education track papers) that have not yet been presented at any conference are eligible for presentation. Each of the above seven conferences has slots for CGF presentations as part of its technical programme. EG and EuroVis also have STAR programmes for survey papers.
3. Can I choose at which conference to present?
When a submission is accepted by CGF, authors are asked to complete an online form about the potential conference presentation as soon as possible. The form should only take 1-2 minutes to complete. On the form, the authors can specify their preference. Allocation of CGF papers normally takes place before the camera-ready paper deadline of a selected conference. The assignment of CGF papers to a specific conference takes into account (i) the acceptance date, (ii) the date when one completes the form, (iii) one’s preference, (iv) the topic of the paper, (v) whether it was a major revison from an EG-associated conference, and (vi) the available slots in a conference. The decision is ultimately that of the editors-in-chief in consultation with the conference organizers concerned.
