Call for Paper Smartgraphics 2010

by Stefanie Behnke

10th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS http://www.smartgraphics.org/ June 24-26, 2010 Banff, Canada Submission deadline February 14, 2010 Graphics become Smart Graphics when their design and implementation are grounded in an understanding of human abilities, activities, and motivations from design experience and the broad spectrum of cognitive and social sciences. When knowledge from these diverse fields is combined with new methods, tools and techniques in AI, HCI, artistic practice and computer graphics, environments are created that: (1) engage the user and are aesthetically satisfying; (2) participate in human cognition as external or distributed representations; (3) are sensitive to the real-time demands of the interaction in the context of the available informational and computational resources; (4) adapt the form of the output according to a wider set of constraints such as an individual's perceptual, attentive, and motor abilities and the nature of the presentation media and available interaction devices. The International Symposium on Smart Graphics aims at gathering people from the fields of Cognitive Science, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Interactive Art and Graphics Design to share experiences and experiments in this new and emerging area of study. *** Come and Join the Smart Graphics Experience *** Smart Graphics 2010 welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners, as well as artists and graphic designers interested in an interdisciplinary approach to the design of smart interactive displays. In 2010, we propose a specific emphasis on the integration of scientific research and digital media technology into the design of aesthetic experience and artistic practice. In particular, we encourage discussion of research that locates the site of an interactive experience within the everyday world, using smart graphics, technologies, and responsive media to enrich and augment the public, private and personal spaces in which we live our lives. Submission categories are divided into: * Full research papers: these will encompass comprehensive descriptions of original work within the scope of the symposium (limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format). * Posters: tentative or preliminary results of research or design work with emphasis on the interdisciplinary evaluation of the ideas (limited to 4 pages in Springer LNCS format). Poster papers will be included in the proceedings. * System demonstrations: short descriptions of research or design work that the authors intend to show and discuss in a demo session at the symposium (limited to 2 pages in Springer LNCS format). System demonstration papers will be included in the proceedings. * Arts track: computer animations, multimedia performance, interactive art, digital music, hybrid art, etc. Artists must submit a two to three page proposal outlining the concept and technique of the artwork, including a discussion of the relationship between smart technologies and their artistic and creative practice. An international jury of renowned scientists and artists will select the submissions that best represent the idea of <<Smart Graphics Arts>>. Selected works will be displayed during the Smart Graphics symposium, and presented to the public via an evening of performance, installation, and gallery exhibition. A report of the arts track including all the selected works will be included in the proceedings. Smart Graphics specially encourages young researchers to submit their ideas and results. As in previous conferences, proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Note in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): * computer graphics * artificial intelligence * virtual and mixed reality * interactive media * user interaction * digital art * information visualization * visual analytics * multimodal information presentation * non-desktop interfaces * graphical abstraction * sketch-based interfaces * interaction science * scene perception * cognitive sciences * user studies * graphics design INVITED SPEAKER: * John Bowers (Goldsmiths, University of London) * Maria Lantin (Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design) IMPORTANT DATES: February 14th, 2010 (submission deadline) March 8th, 2010 (notification of results) March 20th, 2010 (camera ready copy due) June 24-26, 2010 (Symposium in Banff, Canada) ORGANIZERS: Robyn Taylor (University of Alberta, Canada) Pierre Boulanger (University of Alberta, Canada) Andreas Butz (University of Munich, Germany) Marc Christie (IRISA/INRIA Rennes, France) Brian Fisher (Simon Fraser University, Canada) Antonio Krueger (University of Muenster, Germany) Patrick Olivier (Newcastle University, UK) COMMITTEE (tentative): * Elisabeth Andre (University of Augsburg) * William Bares (Millsaps College) * Marc Cavazza (University of Teesside) * Luca Chittaro (University of Udine) * Sara Diamond (Ontario College of Art and Design) * Steven Feiner (Columbia University) * David S.

2010 International Conference on Cyberworlds. 1st CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

2010 International Conference on Cyberworlds 20-22 October 2010, Singapore http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/SCE/cw2010 Organized by the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. In cooperation with Eurographics Association and Interactive Digital Media R&D Program Office, Media Development Authority of Singapore The application for IEEE Computer Society technical co-sponsorship has been submitted. Cyberworlds are information worlds or communities created on cyberspace by collaborating participants either intentionally or spontaneously. As information worlds, they accumulate information regardless whether or not anyone is in, and they can be with or without 2D or 3D visual graphics appearance. The examples of such cyberworlds are communities created in different social networking services, 3D shared virtual environments, and multiplayer online games. Cyberworlds are closely related to the real world and have a serious impact on it. Cyberworlds have been created and applied in such areas as e-business, e-commerce, e-manufacturing, e-learning, e-medicine, and cultural heritage, etc. Cyberworlds augment and sometimes replace the real life and become a significant component of real economy. The international conferences on Cyberworlds have being organized annually since 2002 with the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society and special issues published in The Visual Computer and other research journals. 10th in the series, CW2010 will consist of paper sessions, tutorials, industrial seminars, exhibitions and hands-on demonstrations where researchers, artists, and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in the field. CW2010 will have several parallel tracks including but not limited to the following topics: - Shared virtual worlds - Collaborative spaces - Virtual humans and avatars - Intelligent talking agents - Augmented reality in collaborative spaces - Networked collaboration - Haptic interaction and rendering - Cognitive informatics - Brain-computer interfaces - EEG-based emotion recognition - E-learning in virtual collaborative spaces - Online multiplayer games - Art and heritage in cyberspace The conference proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society, placed in the IEEE Xplore and Computer Society digital libraries, and submitted for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services. The best full papers will be selected for 2 special issues of the following international journals: - The Visual Computer (Springer) - Transactions on Computational Science (Springer) Important Dates: Paper submission 30 April 2010 Notice of Acceptance 15 Jun 2010 Author registration 15 Jul 2010 Camera-ready paper 15 Jul 2010 Industrial Seminars/Exhibitions: Key industrialists are invited to share their experience in creating and applying cyberworlds to solve practical problems.

Eurographics 2010 Area Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

Eurographics 2010 Area Papers In 2010, Eurographics will have a special focus on Mobile Visual Computing and Dome Displays (http://www.eurographics2010.se/calls/area_papers/) which will have paper sessions and other events within the conference devoted to them. With Mobile Visual Computing we understand any aspects of computing images for display on handheld devices, including software or hardware techniques from graphics, vision and image processing, user interfaces and interaction. Domed displays, with real-time computing, are becoming a much more widely used approach to immersive computer graphics. The number of such sites is increasingly rapidly and the technology and applications must advance to meet the new challenges and opportunities which these systems provide. A new domed display environment will be commissioned in Norrköping immediately prior to the Eurographics conference, just minutes away from the conference centre. It is intended that the dome will be used to host the dome areas events and papers, and will provide an excellent environment for authors and exhibitors to demonstrate new ideas for domed environments. List of Topics Suggested topics in the two areas are listed below but submissions are not limited to just these topics, simply to the defined areas. Mobile Visual Computing: a.. Mobile graphics algorithms b.. Mobile graphics applications c.. Mobile graphics hardware d.. Graphical user interfaces for mobile devices e.. Visualization on handheld devices f.. Handheld displays g.. Mobile augmented reality h.. Mobile computational photography i.. User studies, human factors, evaluation of interaction techniques Domed Displays: a.. Projection systems and technologies b.. Audio environment technologies and methods c.. Interaction systems for small and large audiences d.. Software development platforms e.. Mixed media dome shows f.. Combining live performance in dome environments g.. Dome special effects h.. Applications: practical, education and entertainment Accepted papers will be presented at Eurographics 2010 as an oral presentation, and will be published in the Areas Papers proceedings and included in the conference digital media. Authors are invited to submit both normal research papers, as well as contributions that might be difficult to position as a regular or a short paper because they are too much oriented towards the application or address emergent, yet preliminary ideas on the future of Mobile Visual Computing and Dome Displays. The submission deadline for areas papers is December 11, 2009. For any question concerning areas papers submissions please contact the areas programme co-chairs: areas(a)eurographics2010.se Submission Details Submitted areas papers should be formatted according to the Eurographics Areas publication style. For submission purposes, you should submit a paper of up to 8 pages in length, or four pages for a short paper, according to the submission guidelines. Anonymous submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics online submission system. Please indicate the area to which your work is submitted.
