EG SBIM'07: Call for Papers

by Joaquim Jorge

Fourth Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM'07) http://www.eg.org/sbm University of California Riverside, CA, USA Thursday August 2 - Friday August 3, 2007 Aims and Scope Most computer user interfaces continue to be based on the keyboard and mouse. These are good for typing and pointing, but they lack the naturalness, transparency, and ease-of-use of basic low-tech pencil and paper. Modern pen computing hardware--in principle--enables fluid drawing, sketching, and direct manipulation of both text and graphics. To realize this potential requires effective user interface designs and underlying algorithms to support them. This workshop will explore techniques and technologies needed to enable sketch-based interfaces. The foci will be on methods for recognition of hand-drawn shapes and interpretation of diagrams and sketches, and on applications of sketch-based interfaces to a variety of domains such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, and note-taking. Empirical usability studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing pen input to other interaction techniques are also welcome. The workshop is being held in cooperation with Eurographics and ACM/SIGGRAPH, hence results and insights will be shared by researchers from around the globe. The workshop dates of August 2-3 are just prior to SIGGRAPH. The workshop location is Riverside, California, 1.5 hours by car from the SIGGRAPH venue in San Diego. The two-day workshop will include paper presentations (single track), a breakout session, coffee breaks, a conference dinner, and invited talks. There will be a demo session in which participants have an opportunity to demonstrate their systems and try out those of the other participants. All are welcome to attend the workshop; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. The proceedings will be published in the EG Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital Library. Summaries of previous Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling Workshops can be explored at http://www.eg.org/sbm. Authors are invited to submit technical papers on topics including, but not limited to: * Low level ink processing * Sketch segmentation * Classification and recognition of hand-drawn sketches * Multimodal interfaces for sketching * Novel sketch input devices * Rendering techniques for sketch-based interfaces (NPR) * Usability studies of sketch-based systems * Sketch-based interfaces for 2D/3D computer graphics (modeling, animation, games, etc.) * Sketch-based CAD systems * Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (diagram editing, math, etc.) * Sketch-based retrieval of multimedia Information Authors of workshop papers are encouraged to provide demos. We also invite: * demos of rough ideas and work in progress. * demos that present and critique commercial pen computing software * demos of games and other novel applications making creative use of sketch interfaces Submission Procedure Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 10 pages, with the main body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format. All submissions are electronic. You can download a set of LaTeX style files from the EG Conference Manager (MCP) (http://www.eg.org/sbm). Each paper should contain title, authors' names and affiliations, abstract, keywords, text, illustrations, and references. Detailed guidelines will be available through the Workshop Site (http://www.eg.org/sbm) under instructions for authors. Submissions will be done electronically via the EG Conference Manager (MCP). Papers will be accepted in PDF format only. Please contact the conference organizers should you experience any problems with electronic submission. Proceedings will be available on-line through the Eurographics Digital Library and in paper book form in the Eurographics Book Series. Paper selection will be based on technical and scientific content and relevance to the workshop. Those interested in providing a demo should submit a one-page abstract of the proposed demo. If possible, the abstract should include a URL for a video, screen images, etc. Special Issue: Computers & Graphics Revised and expanded versions of selected workshop papers will be featured in a special issue of the Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier) in 2008. Important Workshop Dates * Deadline for paper submissions: May 1, 2007 * Notification of acceptance: June 8, 2007 Organization Workshop Chairs Thomas Stahovich, University of California, Riverside, CA (stahov(a)engr.ucr.edu) Christine Alvarado, Harvey Mudd College, Claremont, CA (alvarado(a)cs.hmc.edu) Program Chairs Michiel van de Panne, University of British Columbia, Vancouver, BC (van(a)cs.ubc.ca) Eric Saund, Palo Alto Research Center (PARC), Palo Alto, CA (saund(a)parc.com) EG SBIM Working Group Chair Joaquim Jorge, Technical University of Lisboa, Portugal (jaj(a)rtr.inesc-id.pt)

CFP: 3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007

by Stefanie Behnke

Please forward this info to interested colleagues, and please excuse multiple postings. Thank you! ************************************************************** 3rd Eurographics Workshop on Natural Phenomena 2007 CALL FOR PAPERS Workshop website: http://www.cgg.cvut.cz/egwnp07 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Submission DEADLINE: May 18, 2007 Venue: September 4, 2007, Prague, Czech Republic ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ ************************************************************** AIMS AND SCOPE Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations. Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries. The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling, animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena. The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non-conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows (animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. Authors are invited to submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Plant structure modeling * Ecosystem simulation * Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog, ...) * Simulating liquid flows and rain * Modeling fire and smoke * Aging and weathering * Terrain modeling WORKSHOP FORMAT The workshop will take place just before the Eurographics 2007 Conference (September 4, Prague, Czech Republic) to encourage a broad range of participants. As such, it will provide a very interesting opportunity for researchers that want to attend or present communications at both events. T he 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 Submission deadline: May 18th, 2007 Notification of acceptance: June 18th, 2007 Camera-ready papers deadline: July 8th, 2007 Workshop (one full day): September 4, 2007 ORGANISING COMMITTEE Workshop Chairs * Eric Galin (FR) * Jaroslav Sloup (CZ) Program Chairs * David Ebert (US) * Stéphane Mérillou (FR) ************************************************************** For more information, please contact eric.galin(a)liris.cnrs.fr. **************************************************************

2nd Call for Papers for Computational Aesthetics 2007 (CAe2007)

by Stefanie Behnke

Call for Papers for Computational Aesthetics 2007 (CAe 2007), held on June 20-22, 2007 in Banff, Alberta, Canada http://innovis.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/cae2007/ Our ability to convey complex meaning and emotion by the clever arrangement of symbols and signs is one of the most celebrated aspects of our human heritage. If Aesthetics is defined as the interaction between symbol and observer within a social context, then Computational Aesthetics is the empirically based field that examines applications of Aesthetics. Computational Aesthetics integrates aspects of computer science, psychology, and the visual arts, with particular focus on the mathematical and information theoretic aspects of symbol processing by humans and computers. By combining insights from these fields, Computational Aesthetics not only provides tools for the graphics and visualization communities to increase the value of displayed imagery and to avoid classical artifacts, but also furthers our understanding of perception and meaning. Computer based tools, resulting from Computational Aesthetics research, may also be used to enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and to expand the role of aesthetic design as a differentiating factor in product development and retail sales. We are pleased to announce the third workshop on Computational Aesthetics, which will take place in Banff, Alberta, Canada on June 20-22, 2007. It is the third event on this topic following a Workshop in 2005 in Girona, Spain, and a Dagstuhl seminar in Germany in 2006. This conference will bring together individuals with technical backgrounds who are developing computer based tools to solve aesthetic problems and people with artistic and design backgrounds who use these new tools in their work. Invited talks will be given by leading technical and artistic/design figures to help participants to better understand what computer technology is capable of delivering and to fully appreciate what is involved in the artistic and design process. Refereed papers will also be presented to provide a snapshot of the latest technical breakthroughs and the most recent artistic or design achievements in applying computer based techniques to solve aesthetic problems. The overriding goal of the conference will be to facilitate a dialogue between the scientists and engineers who are creating these new tools and the artists and designers who are the end users. Submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific examples include, but are not limited to: * Artistic Image Transformation Techniques (colors, edges, patterns, dithering) * Image Analogies, Style Transfer Methods * Sketching, Simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive) * Composition, Visual Balance, Layout * Non-Photorealistic Rendering * Image Style Analysis (Paintings, Photographs, others) * Empirically based Metrics of Aesthetical Attributes * Applied Visual Perception (Color Appearance, Spatial Vision, and other aspects) Submitted papers should be original, unpublished work of up to 8 pages. The manuscripts must be written in English. For more information including paper formatting and submission guidelines see the website at http://innovis.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/cae2007/ Please note that this call for technical contributions is complemented by a call for participation by experts in the visual arts, for details see the website. Important dates: Abstract submission deadline: March 5, 2007 Submission deadline: March 12, 2007 Acceptance notification: May 1, 2007 Camera-ready deadline: May 18, 2007 Conference: June 20-22, 2007 Conference Chairs: Sheelagh Carpendale, University of Calgary, Canada Brian Wyvill, University of Calgary, Canada Program Chairs: Douglas W. Cunningham, University of Tübingen, Germany Gary Meyer, University of Minnesota, USA László Neumann, University of Girona, Spain Arts Program Chair: Alan Dunning, Alberta College of Art and Design, Canada
