CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

The workshop on Everyday Proxy Objects for VR will explore the integration of everyday items for multi-sensory virtual experiences and sets course for respective future research endeavors. We welcome researchers and practitioners who have experience with or interest in using everyday objects as proxies for virtual objects, scenes or interactions in VR.

To apply for the workshop, we invite submissions of position papers in the SIGCHI Extended Abstract format with a maximum length of 4 pages (not including bibliography) to
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=epo4vr. Position papers should address either previous work or future planned work in the scope of integrating everyday objects in immersive virtual experiences. Each participant will have 5 minutes for an oral presentation of their work.

Position papers will be reviewed by the workshop organizers. Participants will be selected according to the suitability of their research to contribute to the workshop outcome or the relevance of their workshop position paper. Upon acceptance, at least one author of each accepted paper must attend the workshop. All participants must register for both the workshop and for at least one day of the conference.

More details can be found on the workshop webpage: http://epo4vr.dfki.de

TOPICS
The workshop welcomes submissions addressing one or more but not limited to the following topics:
– Virtual, mixed and substitutional reality

Remote Sensing for Maritime and Water Monitoring (JMSE – IF 1.732)

December 19th, 2019 Daniela Lopez de Luise
The Journal of Marine Science and Engineering (JMSE – ISSN 2077-1312 – IF 1.732) is currently running a special issue titled "Remote Sensing for Maritime and Water Monitoring".

Deadline: April 25, 2020

Remote sensing plays a crucial role in the supervision of extended maritime areas. In particular, multisensor multisource imagery is collected daily through satellite platforms moving on earth-centered orbits. This massive amount of data, including optical images and radar maps, can be exploited for relevant purposes, such as the implementation of maritime surveillance tasks. These tasks typically address security and safety issues (vessel traffic monitoring, search and rescue) as well as environmental sustainability aspects (fishery, pollution). Satellite missions also serve the purpose of remotely measuring meaningful properties of the water column (e.g., salinity, turbidity, pollutants concentration), enabling chemo-physical surveys of maritime areas of interest. Publications in this Special Issue will aim at composing a comprehensive overview of the several aspects that emerge in the implementation of maritime observation platforms through data processing.
With these topics in mind, among various other subjects, the authors are invited to discuss theoretical issues and methods concerning remote sensing and data processing over the marine and maritime environment (such as software platforms for surveillance or monitoring, processing algorithms for radar or optical imagery, sea-level assessment through satellite altimetry, integrated methods for the observation of the maritime environment, etc.), not excluding application case studies focused on remote sensing within the maritime context.

To this purpose, authors are invited to submit contributions that take into consideration the following topics:

•    Maritime data representation, analysis, and learning;
•    Ocean observation applied to fishing sustainability or biodiversity;
•    Techniques for data processing applied to maritime observation;
•    Target detection, classification, and identification in maritime data;
•    Marine pollution monitoring along with sea environment monitoring issues;
•    Open water analysis and trends based on remote sensing.
Details about the Call for Papers can be found in the attached flyer and here: https://www.mdpi.com/journal/jmse/special_issues/RS_maritime_water

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you need more details.

We look forward to hearing from you,

Dr. Gabriele Pieri and Dr. Marco Reggiannini
