Call for Papers/Posters

We invite work on a broad range of topics, including but not limited to:

Papers
We invite submissions of original, high-quality papers in any of the topics of interest mentioned above or any related topic. Each submission should be 6-10 pages in length. The review process will be double-blind, which means that paper submissions must be anonymous and include the unique paper ID that will be assigned upon creating a submission using the online system. Papers should not have previously appeared in, or be currently submitted to, any other conference or journal. All papers will be reviewed carefully by the International Program Committee members.

This year, there will be two paper tracks: i) short papers (up to 6 pages), and ii) long papers (up to 10 pages). During the review process, a long paper will have the option of being accepted as a long paper or a short paper, but a short paper will only have the option of being accepted as a short one.

All accepted papers will be presented during sessions at the conference. The papers will be archived in the ACM Digital Libraries with their own DOIs. In this year, authors of selected best papers will be referred to submit extended and significantly revised versions in the IEEE Transactions on Visualizations and Computer Graphics (TVCG, Impact Factor 3.78) and the Computers & Graphics journal (C&G, Impact Factor: 1.302).

Posters
We also invite submissions of poster papers in any of the topics of interest and related areas. Each submission should be 1-2 pages in length. Two types of work can be submitted directly for poster presentation: (i) Work that has been published elsewhere but is of particular relevance to the MIG community can be submitted as a poster. This work and the venue in which it as published should be identified in the abstract; (ii) Work that is of interest to the MIG community but is not yet mature enough to appear as a paper. Posters will not appear in the official MIG proceedings or in the ACM Digital library but will appear in an online database for distribution at author’s discretion.

Submission Instructions

Papers should be anonymized for double-blind reviewing. Posters will be reviewed single-blind, so author information may be included.

All papers should be submitted electronically using EasyChair: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mig2020

For poster submission, please send a 1-2 page abstract by an email as an attachment to mig2020posters@gmail.com. You can use any paper format, though the MIG paper format is recommended.

Supplementary Material

Due to the nature of the conference, we strongly encourage authors to submit supplementary materials (such as videos) with the size up to 200MB. They may be submitted electronically and will be made available to reviewers. For Video, we advise QuickTime MPEG-4 or DivX Version 6, and for still images, we advise JPG or PNG. If you use another format, you are not guaranteed that reviewers will view them. It is also allowed to have an appendix as supplementary material. These materials will accompany the final paper in the ACM Digital Library.

ACM Formatting

All submissions should be formatted using the SIGGRAPH formatting guidelines (sigconf). Latex template can be found here.

Registration

At least one author of each accepted paper must be registered for the conference. The author registration fee is $100. Attending the conference is free of charge for all other attendees.
