SMB04 Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces - Deadline 11 June 2004

by Joaquim A Jorge

Call for Papers Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces (co-located with Eurographics 2004) http://sbm04.inesc-id.pt Grenoble, France Aims and Scope Modeling systems possessing great functionality now enable us to create very complicated models. However, computers have yet to become usable at the very early stages of design, where pencil and paper still reign. This is because present-day interfaces require designers to leap large conceptual gaps from their mental models of desired objects to the geometric models that formally express their shape. As computer systems become more sophisticated, alternative input modalities and interface technologies are emerging which may form the basis for a new generation of sketching applications supporting what we may call Calligraphic Interfaces. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel user inter-faces sketching models. The workshop will build on work done in recent years on modeling, 2D user interfaces and 3D user interfaces. Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. The workshop will look at means to improve usability of object design systems (including product-design, character-design, or other application areas) through user-centered design approaches, ranging from personal design assistants to media-rich virtual and augmented environments. One direction will focus on handheld and tablet computers for mobile input, combining pen and speech with retrieval of remote product and geometric data using sketches. Another direction will look at creating technical designs from sketches using novel input techniques in 2D and 3D, exploring multiple senso-rial modalities and Intelligent User Interfaces. A third direction will explore the relationship between geometry representation and interaction techniques, especially as a catalyst for new interaction techniques. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - - Multimodal interfaces for sketching - - Intelligent user interfaces and sketching - - Mobile appliances for design input - - Novel input techniques - - Inferring shape from sketches - - Sketching surfaces - - Sketching diagrams - - Usability studies - - NPR and sketching - - Sketching mathematical annotations Submission Procedure (all submissions are electronic) Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the main body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format. You can download a set of LaTEX style files from http://sbm04.inesc-id.pt/template-sbm04.zip. Each paper should contain title, authors' names and affiliations, abstract, keywords, text, illustrations and references. Detailed guidelines are available through the Workshop Site under instructions for authors. Submissions will be done electronically via email to sbm04-papers(a)inesc-id.pt. We will accept papers in PDF format only. Please contact the conference organizers should you experience any problems with electronic submission. Post-workshop proceedings will be available on-line through the Eurographics Digital Library and in paper book form in the Eurographics Book Series. Selection will be based upon technical and scientific content and relevance to the workshop. Workshop Format The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics'04 Conference (September 1-3, 2004, Grenoble). As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend / present communications at both events. The workshop will be held in one day, including paper presentation and invited sessions. Participation is open to everyone, not requiring submission of a paper. Important Dates June 11, 2004 Submission deadline July 5, 2004 Notification of acceptance July 26, 2004 Deadline for camera-ready copies August 31, 2004 Workshop Venue and Fees The workshop will be held at INRIA, Grenoble. Workshop participants will be charged a registration fee that includes a workshop proceedings book (printed by Eurographics Press), coffee breaks and a social event in the first evening of the workshop. EG members have a 90+ Euro discount on the workshop fee. Comprehensive information about Grenoble, traveling and accommodation can be found at the workshop Web page.

To stimulate the interaction between these two communities, the two events have been scheduled one after the other in 2004, as part of the Convention on Shapes and Solids (SMI&SM04) which will be held in Genova, Italy. The symposium will be followed by the International School on Computational Methods for Shape Modeling and Analysis. It is meant for PhD, PostDoc or researchers with either a computer science, informatics or mathematics background, and prior knowledge of geometric modeling techniques. It will focus on different aspects of shape modeling, processing and analysis, and the final programme will include training on the most up-to-date topics of the field. Convention and school program/schedules can be found at: http://smism04.ge.imati.cnr.it LOCATION OF THE CONVENTION: The Convention will be located at the 1st floor of the beautiful Palazzo Ducale, the main ancient seat of power of the Republic of Genova and the Doge's residence. The Sala del Maggior Consiglio will provide a wonderful background for the SMI&SM04 events. The SMI&SM04 reception will be organized in the Acquarium of Genova, and will include a guided tour of the Acquarium and a dinner in the Dolphin and Shark Halls. Views of the location are available at: http://smism04.ge.imati.cnr.it/location.html Please, note that Genova will be the European capital of Culture for the year 2004 and the programme organized for this reason is very dense of events.

ACM SIGGRAPH-Eurographics Campfire

Next Generation User Interface Technology for Consumer Electronics ACM SIGGRAPH Workshop - May 2004 - Snowbird, UT SIGGRAPH Panel - August 2004 - Los Angeles, CA Overview As the power and complexity of consumer electronic devices continues to increase, the difficulty of the user experience also increases. If VCRs still flash 12:00, just think what will happen with the new generation of devices. The technology in the new consumer devices rivals the CPU and graphics horsepower of workstations of only a few years ago. The purpose of this workshop is to investigate the application of existing tools and techniques from other disciplines to the next generation of consumer devices. The problem domain for this workshop includes: Dealing with large quantities of information, e.g. extremely large music and video libraries, photo albums, program schedules, etc. - Can we leverage some of the work of the SciViz community? Creating a comfortable user experience - Games and CGI? Given the power of the CPU and graphics being designed into the next generation of devices is it possible/meaningful/useful/appropriate to exploit such technologies as: · OpenGL / DirectX · Game Engines · Parallel processing · Haptic Devices · Augmented Reality · Story Telling Interactivity In addition to advancements in technology, while each of the CE vendors wish to maintain the identity of their products, there is a pragmatic need for overall interoperation. Just as automobile manufacturers have standardized on the basics for interaction, there is still plenty of room for product differentiation in the marketplace. As we are about to step off into a new world of human interaction with electronics devices in our daily lives, it is important to begin to address the means for creating an effective and enjoyable user experience.
