The following paper IDs have been conditionally accepted to SIGGRAPH Asia 2019: SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Conditionally Accepted Courses
For more than 30 years SIGGRAPH Courses have been the premier source for practitioners, developers, researchers, scientists, engineers, artists, and students who want to learn about the state-of-the-art in computer graphics and related topics. At SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 hundreds of visitors will attend its courses to broaden and deepen their knowledge and to learn the secrets of new directions.
The SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Courses program aims to push the boundaries of Computer Graphics and Interactive techniques, by providing master classes by leading international experts from academia and industry, and also by broadening the scope to include thought-provoking overviews and demonstrations of new research that crosses traditional boundaries.
We particularly welcome courses that embrace the Dream Zone theme of SIGGRAPH Asia 2019.
For example, topics could include graphics and interactive techniques with:
We welcome presenters from different backgrounds (e.g., computer science, art, animation, medicine, science and others), with each giving their unique perspective on the topic.
We particularly encourage proposals for hands-on courses (see below). If you are considering such proposals, please contact us prior to the submission deadline to discuss suitability and any special arrangements needed.
We are not accepting proposals for full-day courses.
Courses usually fall into one of the following categories:
Introductory: An introduction to a topic, suitable for attendees with little or no background in that area. These courses can range from basic topics through more advanced concepts. The important criterion for this type of course is that it should guide attendees through the material in a sensible way and not assume much prior knowledge in that specific topic. In the case, when material is submitted as related to computer graphics, but not considered “core” graphics, the authors must clearly demonstrate how participants would benefit from the information in the course.
State-of-the-art: Best practices and state-of-the-art methodologies for computer graphics professionals. These are advanced courses presenting the best the field can offer to professionals in a specific subfield.
New trends: Consolidation of a new and emerging research trend. This type of course can guide new researchers in the area and help facilitate transfers to practical applications.
Hands-on: A course that provides opportunities for attendees to learn by doing, through the industry's most-popular technologies. They are intended for a limited audience on a first-come, first-served basis.
While we provide the basic guidelines for the different educational roles above, we believe that the presentation should be tailored to the specific topic and its relevance to the attendees. Therefore, if you feel that your course does not fit the above options, please contact us and we will be happy to provide suggestions and feedback.
Proposals for courses that have been presented at previous SIGGRAPH or SIGGRAPH Asia conferences are welcome. However, the submission in such case needs to provide justification why the course should be repeated at SIGGRAPH Asia 2019.
SIGGRAPH Asia attendees are local and international, established industry professionals, students, professors, researchers, engineers, producers. Their expectations are diverse, and we are looking for outstanding courses, at beginning, intermediate, and advanced levels, on ACM SIGGRAPH's most popular and fundamental topics below and in particular those that embrace this year’s Dream Zone theme (see above). Core topics include (but are not restricted to):
Courses are presented in Two Basic Formats:
The official language of SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 is English. Verbal presentations, slide presentations, and course notes are expected to be in English. So please contact us if you consider presenting in a different language.

Courses can fulfil many training/educational roles:
Well-attended, strong courses may be re-submitted in subsequent years. Recently taught courses must provide justification for why the course should be repeated. Courses taught longer ago should explain why the material should be revisited, and what new advancements will be covered. Introductory courses have the potential to be repeated more frequently than advanced ones, as the potential audience is larger.
Jurors are asked to evaluate your submission using four criteria: Concept, Novelty, Interest, and Quality. The final submission score is based on a combination of these factors. For example, a submission that is high quality, has broad appeal, and contains something new is likely to be accepted, while a submission that is incremental, of interest to only a small number of people, and poorly written will probably be rejected.
How exceptional are the ideas, problems, solutions, aesthetics, etc. presented in this submission? How coherently does the submission convey its overall concept? Is the concept like existing ones, or does it stand out?
How new and fresh is this work? Is it a new, ground-breaking approach to an old problem, or is it an existing approach with a slightly new twist? You must demonstrate to the jury that your course is sufficiently different from other approaches to the topic.
Will conference attendees want to attend this course? Will it inspire them? Does it appeal to a broad audience? This is partly a measure of how broad the potential audience is and partly a measure of the overall clarity and novelty of the proposal.
This is a measure of the course proposal's quality of expression, clarity of thinking, and how clearly and completely it explains the course and its intentions. It also measures the quality and completeness of the supporting materials.
Some reasons courses are rejected:
All contributors to SIGGRAPH Asia Annual Conferences are now required to use ACM's rights management system to grant rights to publish accepted content rather than through the SIGGRAPH Asia Submission System. Essentially, submission tracking, jury review, and acceptance remain the same, but now the rights management is through ACM, the parent organization of SIGGRAPH Asia.
You will be asked to complete an ACM rights management form, which includes permission to record and distribute the audio and video of your recorded presentation through official channels of ACM/SIGGRAPH Asia. For most content types, this will be a Permission and Release form, which allows authors to retain copyright.
More Information on these options (the FAQ is particularly useful)
As a contributor to an ACM-sponsored event, the following expectations apply to you, should your content be accepted for presentation:
Once your contribution is accepted, you will receive a link via email to the appropriate form for your contribution.
Detailed information and instructions as well as deadlines will be sent to submitters along with the acceptance letter.
You will be notified of acceptance or rejection in August 2019.
After acceptance, the SIGGRAPH Asia Submission System will allow you to update basic information about your work and upload any final materials for inclusion on the conference program and web site. This information needs to be finalized four weeks after acceptance.
Be prepared to deliver your final versions of your work before these dates, or your acceptance may be rescinded.
If your course is accepted, you will need to submit:
The time and location of your course will be posted on the SIGGRAPH Asia website well in advance of the conference.
Some registration and travel costs to attend SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 may be at your own expense; each accepted course receives recognition as specified in the SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 Recognition Policy.
All accepted work will be documented in the SIGGRAPH Asia 2019 website and distributed through the ACM Digital Library.
Presenters / Contributors of each accepted submission have to register for at least one conference pass. Please visit our registration page to view the various registration categories for each program.
Please see the Recognition Benefits for a summary of what you will receive if your work and/or proposal are accepted by SIGGRAPH Asia.
Presenters are expected to cover their own travel costs, which are not covered by SIGGRAPH Asia.
You can apply for a 100% discount for up to one presenter per half-day course or per short course via the submission system. One presenter per half-day course, and one presenter per short course can apply for travel reimbursement of up to USD $1,000. Only presenters whose permanent residence is outside of Brisbane, Australia can apply for travel reimbursement.
Once your contribution is accepted, you will receive a link via email to the appropriate form for your contribution. You will be required to prepare the final print-ready file following the specifications in the acceptance notification.
You will be able to update your basic submission information so that it can be included in the conference program and website. This information needs to be finalized two weeks after acceptance.
If your work is accepted, you will be required to prepare the final print-ready file following the specifications in the acceptance notification.
Please note: The schedule to provide your final material after receiving the acceptance notification is very tight. Please plan your personal schedule accordingly.

DeadlinesNature of ContentCompleteness, Work in ProgressWork Submitted Elsewhere Review and Upon Acceptance
No. The deadlines are absolute. All submissions receive equal consideration up to the published deadline. Please respect other contributors and allow time for unforeseen circumstances in your submission, including (but not limited to) network connectivity, equipment failures, job impacts, life or family events, etc. These are outside of SIGGRAPH Asia direct control and cannot be accommodated fairly.
Firstly, the answer is fairness and equal opportunity for consideration. This respects the contribution process for all submissions. Secondly, the deadline was set as late as possible while still allowing sufficient time for quality review, production, and delivery at SIGGRAPH Asia. Immediately after the submission deadline, we start processing and reviewing the submissions on a very tight time schedule, and we cannot accommodate exceptions.
SIGGRAPH Asia is only responsible for the availability of the submission server. If necessary, the conference chair will authorize an appropriate adjustment (and will prominently post notices at several locations online). All other network failures between your location and the SIGGRAPH Asia server will not affect the submission deadlines. Please submit early to avoid connectivity-support problems or last-minute submission-server performance issues.
No. The English Review Service makes no guarantee for service turn-around. It is also administered separately from the conference program. Please schedule your work appropriately. For the best chance of having your submission reviewed by the English Review Service, please make sure it is submitted and marked "complete" in the submission system at least 14 days before your program's submission deadline.

No. The exhibition is the best place for that.
Please send it in and let the SIGGRAPH Asia jury make the decision.
Possibly. You are welcome to submit a collection of related submissions. However, the scheduling and grouping of accepted material will ultimately be decided by the SIGGRAPH Asia committee.
A simple product announcement or sales pitch would not be appropriate for the conference program. However, a methods or systems description that presents the engineering design and algorithms behind the product could be appropriate. If you are an exhibitor, and you are interested in a presentation on all aspects of your new product, please contact Exhibition Management about organizing an Exhibitor Talk.
No, but ACM SIGGRAPH's International Committee can provide some help with English. Please see the English Review Service.
Yes. SIGGRAPH Asia educators are very interested in how new techniques can be used for pedagogical purposes. Submissions in this area that have the best chance for acceptance demonstrate clearly how learning is improved with computer graphics or interactive techniques.
No. The attendee population is very diverse. Your detailed audience identification helps both proposal evaluation by the review committee (program balancing) and proper marketing to interested conference attendees.
SIGGRAPH Asia seeks innovation both in topic and presentation! New ideas that relate to some aspect of computer graphics and interactive techniques are most welcome. Your proposal should clearly explain this relevance.
No. The review process is single blind, which means the reviewers will know who the authors are, but the authors will not know who the reviewers are. Your submission should be as close to its final form as possible (see Completeness, Work in Progress), including the names of all collaborators on the work and their institutions. Potential conflicts of interest are taken into account when submissions are assigned to reviewers.
Incomplete submissions will not be reviewed. Contributors are required to minimally meet all submission requirements by the published deadline. The jury will evaluate the merit of each completed proposal as it was submitted at the deadline, even if it does not meet the author's personal quality objectives. Please allow enough time to meet your own quality goals.
Yes, though with some caveats. First, you must indicate the prior appearance via the checkbox on the submission form and provide a description of how and where the work appeared. Second, be aware that SIGGRAPH Asia attendees expect to see things they have never seen before. The jury will decide if the novelty and impact of the submission warrant acceptance despite its appearance elsewhere.
The other conference or journal is likely to consider this an unacceptable "dual submission", so you must check with them. If they are OK with it, SIGGRAPH Asia is OK with it. But if you intend to submit this work elsewhere before the conference, you must indicate this intent via the checkbox on the submission form and provide a description of where you intend to submit and when it would appear.
The submission form has a checkbox that requires you to indicate this fact. The jury will decide if the novelty of the submission warrants acceptance regardless of prior presentation or publication. Courses may remain valuable from year to year and will be considered by the jury, but proposals should clearly offer compelling reasons for repetition.
All submissions are juried together, and there are no strict rules for acceptance. The jury primarily looks for a combination of innovation and excellence. A longer list of traits the jury typically looks for includes originality, artistic achievement, technical accomplishment, technical innovation, production value, creativity, design, educational value, aesthetic appeal, community building, and social responsibility.
Topics and proposals come in all shapes and sizes. Well-written proposals effectively communicate their ideas so that reviewers can assess the submission's benefits to SIGGRAPH Asia attendees. Strong proposals clearly answer questions regarding relevance, content, and background.
Ideally, everyone would have a chance to present their best work at the conference. It would certainly make the selection process easier! Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Many great proposals do not make the cut because we lack rooms, resources, and schedule time. Here are some possible reasons for rejection:
