Аннотация: The proceedings are published as a special issue of the Eurographics Computer Graphics Forum journal.The conference, which started in 1990 as the Eurographics Workshop on Visualization in Scientific Computing and was called VisSym after 1999, has been known as EuroVis since 2005.EuroVis attracts contributions that broadly cover the field of visualization.Topics include visualization techniques for spatial data, such as volumetric, tensor, and vector field datasets, and for non-spatial data, such as graphs, text, and high-dimensional datasets.EuroVis also covers the theory of visualization, hardware acceleration, large datasets, perception, interaction, user studies, information visualization, visual analytics, and many application areas of visualization.After the submission deadline in early December 2018, 189 manuscripts were reviewed in a two-stage process that resulted in 59 accepted papers and an acceptance rate of 31.2%.During the first review cycle, each paper was reviewed by at least four reviewers.The 77 primary and secondary reviewers were members of the International Program Committee (IPC) and each selected at least one additional tertiary reviewer from outside the IPC.The IPC meanwhile represents the global visualization community quite well, including members from Australia, Brazil, Asia, US, and Europe.The IPC at EuroVis is a rather dynamic committee with regular rotations after a three-year period.The review process was double-blind for tertiary reviewers: only the members of the IPC and the chairs knew the identity of the authors.A great effort was made to identify and prevent conflicts of interest at all levels, and all reviewers were asked to read and agree to the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC) ethics guidelines.After all the reviews were completed, the primary reviewer led an online discussion among all reviewers and was responsible for writing a summary review and recommendation.These discussions were lively, significantly helping to find a consensus.During the discussion phase, the reviews were also made available to the authors, who had the opportunity to write a response to the papers chairs.Both exchange formats, discussions and review response, were lively used and significantly helped to find a consensus.Based on the reviewers' recommendations, the individual reviews, the online discussions, the authors' review response, and after a thorough deliberation by the paper chairs, 59 papers were conditionally accepted.Three additional papers were invited for a fast-track review process to Computer Graphics Forum for possible publication in a future issue.In the second review cycle, the revised papers were again carefully reviewed by the primary reviewers, and due to the significant improvements 58 papers were finally accepted for publication.One paper opted for a major revision.We helped to shape the reviews to be as constructive as possible to also provide the authors of rejected papers with substantial feedback for their further research.We are thankful to everybody who helped to make the event possible.We thank the IPC members for their careful and timely work in all stages of the reviewing process and the tertiary reviewers for providing in-depth assessments of the submissions.
