CGI is one of the oldest annual international conferences on Computer Graphics in the world. Researchers are invited to share their experiences and novel achievements in various fields of Computer Graphics and Virtual Reality. Previous recent CGI conferences have been held in Sydney, Australia (2014), Strasbourg, France (2015), Heraklion, Greece (2016), Yokohama, Japan (2017), Bintan, Indonesia (2018), and Calgary in Canada (2019). CGI has been virtual between 2020 and 2022 due to the COIVD pandemic, and this year, CGI 2023 is organized by Shanghai Jiao Tong University and University of Sydney, and supported by the Computer Graphics Society (CGS), CGI 2023 will (hopefully) be held as a hybrid event – allowing both onsite and online participation – in Shanghai. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe\nCGI 2023 conference will host a variety of satellite events including\nworkshops, challenges, and tutorials. Workshops have become essential\ncomponents of CGI conferences, particularly as the field has undergone steady\ngrowth and has expanded into a diverse set of areas. These events attract a\nlarge number of participants, offering opportunities to both the organizers and\nthe attendees. The workshops will take place from Aug. 28 to Sept. 01, 2023.\nAll events will be located at the main conference venue. Each workshop may be\norganized as a half-day meeting.\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The deadline for submission of workshop\/special sessions proposals is 25 February 2023. Notifications of the first round of acceptance, revision, or rejection will be sent on 1 March 2023. In the case of a revision, applicants will be asked to revise their proposals based on complementary or significantly overlapping proposals and suggestions and resubmit. Final decisions on revised proposals will be 8 March 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe\nproposals for all workshops\/special sessions must be submitted through the Easychair\nsubmission system (see the link far below) . Proposals will be evaluated using\nseveral criteria, including the expected number of participants, the complementarity\nof the topics to be addressed, and their relevance to the conference. Workshop\/special\nsessions organizers are expected to articulate a plan detailing the management\nof all administrative aspects including:\n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Submission Details<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The submission process will be\nformalized to ensure uniformity. Workshop applicants must submit the complete\nthe submission form via Easychair System.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Selection Criteria<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Due to limited availability of rooms, and to ensure relevance to the conference, submitted workshop proposals will be evaluated and selected. Each section of the proposal form will be evaluated during the selection process. Examples of selection criteria are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Expected level of the CGI 2023\naudience’s interest in the topic of the workshop. Emergent subjects will be\nfavorably considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Quality of the organization and the\nplanned review process for the workshop.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Feasibility, concreteness, balance, and solidity of the plan, schedule, and management of the workshop, including proceedings arrangement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Please note that if the number of\nregistered participants for an accepted workshop is less than 20, we reserve\nthe rights to cancel or merge it with other workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Copyright<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Authors will assign to the Computer\nGraphics Society the right to distribute the workshop material to CGI workshop\nand conference attendees, independently of the copyright ownership planned by\nthe workshop organizers. It is up to the workshop organizers to obtain\ncorresponding agreement of the authors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proceedings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n It is entirely up to workshop\/Special sessions organizers whether and how to publish a proceedings volume of the presentations. Accepted full papers may be disseminated independently (for example via arXiv) or in joint proceedings of CGI 2023 satellite events published by Springer Nature in their Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series, or special issues of VRIH (https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/journal\/virtual-reality-and-intelligent-hardware) journal publications (organized by CGI 2023 conference). In the latter case, notice that the publisher imposes limitations on the number of names that will be listed as the workshop organizers, especially for volumes with a small number of papers. The deadline for submitting the camera-ready LNCS proceedings (or the VRIH Journal) materials (including the papers and copyright forms) is 5 August 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Budget<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Unfortunately, CGI 2023 cannot\nafford to cover travel arrangements or stipends for the organizers of\nworkshops, nor provide concessions on registration fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The CGI 2023 Organizing Committee has limited funds for waiving the registration fees for a number of speakers, including those from outside the CGI community. Organizers should send a request for registration fee waiver to vrar@cs.sjtu.edu.cn with justification for their request. Organizers and speakers who plan to attend only their own\/participating workshop are still expected to register for the event unless registration fee waivers have been requested and granted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Workshop\/Special Session Proposal Submission via Easychair System (open for submissions from Jan.01 2023): <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
