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

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 Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.
