The 21st EuroXR International Conference - EuroXR 2024

27 Nov - Nov 29, 2024

Athens, Greece

https://www.euroxr.org/conference-2024
SUMBISSION WITHOUT REBUTAL PROCEDURE STILL OPEN
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The EuroXR association (www.euroxr.org) would like to remind you of the second deadline we offer, which allows you to still submit your work with a proper review cycle. The difference to the first deadline is that with the upcoming deadline, papers will not undergo a rebuttal and revision phase.

EuroXR 2024 will be hosted and co-organized by the Institute of Communication & Computer Systems (ICCS), Athens, Greece. This year, our international conference will take place with in-person attendance,  so you can expect a rich experience. 
Besides invited keynote talks, the scientific track, the application track, and a posters & demos track, we will also welcome this year joint events related to several ongoing European projects,  especially the 1st annual meeting of the Alliance4XR ERASMUS+ project,  and other special sessions for some sister projects of several Europe Horizon calls.


TYPES OF CONTRIBUTIONS

For all conference tracks, we seek original, high-quality contributions in all areas of eXtended Reality (XR), i.e., Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR), and 3D üser interfaces. In these areas, submissions can address a wide range topics of interest, as listed in https://www.euroxr.org/topics-euroxr2024 . 
Please note that the calls for contributions to each category open at different times:

* Scientific track [OPEN NOW]: Papers (Long, Medium, or Short) must describe original, unpublished research results, address novel research questions, present novel insights in XR/VR/AR/MR, or sound state-of-the-art reports on challenging research questions in those fields.
Accepted papers in this track will be published in a Springer LNCS volume (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). (Indexing information of the LNCS series is available on this Springer webpage.)
As in previous years, authors of the top papers will get an opportunity to submit an extended version to the journals Computers & Graphics, or Frontiers in Virtual Reality.

* Application track [NOT OPEN YET]: will seek extended abstracts, which are meant to describe 
practical use cases of XR technologies.

* Posters track [NOT OPEN YET]: will seek posters that could present preliminary results or work-in-progress of research or applicationss. They will be submitted as an extended abstract.

* Demos track [NOT OPEN YET]: demos may accompany any type of submission or may be submitted independently.They will be submitted as an extended abstract.

(Accepted extended abstracts, i.e., 2-4 pages, in the applications, posters, or demos track will be published in an ISBN-registered proceedings, edited by VTT, Technical Research Centre of Finland Ltd.)


SUBMISSIONS TO THE SCIENTIFIC TRACK

This year, two procedures are possible for scientific paper submissions,  which allows authors to choose between two different deadlines. 

Submissions before the first deadline (May 12) will include a rebuttal phase after first round of reviews. This will give authors the opportunity to clarify potential misunderstandings and  to resubmit a revised version of their paper before the final decision of the reviewers. 

Alternatively, authors can choose to submit to the second deadline (June 28),  but then they will, of course, not benefit from the advantages provided by the rebuttal procedure.

In both cases, all submissions will be reviewed by at least three independent reviewers.

Important dates (extended) for the scientific track (each deadline is 23:59:59 AoE)

* Scientific paper submission without rebuttal procedure:.............. June 28 2024
* Final notification for all papers (with or without rebuttal):........ July 24, 2024
* Camera-ready (for all tracks):....................................... Sep. 16, 2024
* Conference days:..................................................... Nov. 27-29, 2024


Scientific Paper sizes and respective talk durations

Three sizes of papers are possible in the scientific track (all sizes are meant excluding the references section):

* Long paper: 14-20 pages in the Springer format (about 8 pages in traditional two-column format). 
If accepted, authors will have about 30 minutes of presentation (including questions) 
during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.
* Medium paper: 8-12 pages in Springer's format. 
If accepted, authors will have about 20 minutes of presentation (including questions) 
during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.
* Short paper: 4-6 pages Springer format. 
This type is meant for work-in-progress, position papers, and similar content. 
If accepted, authors will have about 10 minutes of presentation (including questions) 
during one of the scientific sessions of the conference.

Please note that indicated paper lengths do *not* include references.
