VAST'09 - 2nd CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

======================================================================================= 10th VAST International Symposium on Virtual Reality, Archaeology and Cultural Heritage 7th Eurographics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (VAST'09) September 22-25 2009, Malta http://www.vast2009.org ===================================================================================== ------------------------------------------------------------ 2nd Call for Papers - Paper Submission Deadlines extended ------------------------------------------------------------ -Towards a "digital agenda" for the integration of technologies into Archaeology and Cultural Heritage- Nearly every organization whose mission includes promoting access to cultural information, is well aware of the value of digital applications, and digital technologies are finding their way into cultural organizations. Nevertheless, a clear-cut division still exists between humanities researchers, computer science researchers, information scientists, librarians, and campus technologists, which prevents a complete achievement of the potential represented by the integration of these disciplines. Each community has distinctive practices, lingo, assumptions, and concerns. Understanding technology needs of the humanities, and more specifically of Archaeology, Libraries and Cultural Heritage, has particular relevance to the future of knowledge and education delivery, as well as, to develop shared technology services to enhance humanities research now and in the future. The main goal of this VAST is to bring together professionals from all fields to start a true dialogue on CH needs and ICT solutions and achieve a true integration of disciplines. This VAST aims at disseminating the idea of a more systematic integration of digital practices in research and education programs for CH, exploring good practices, guidelines and skills development possibilities to structure long-term initiatives and move towards a "digital agenda" for Archaeology, Libraries and CH. This is why we are seeking contributions that advance the state of the art in the technologies available to support sustainability of human heritage. - 2/3/4D Data Capture and Processing in CH - Augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations - Data Acquisition Technologies - Digital Libraries - Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance, audio, dance, oral) - Interactive Environments and Applications for CH - Long term preservation of digital artefacts - Metadata, classification schema, ontologies and semantic processing - Multilingual applications, tools and systems for CH - Multimedia Data Acquisition, Management and Archiving - Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for CH - On-site and remotely sensed data collection - Professional and Ethical Guidelines - Serious games in CH - Standards and Documentation - Storytelling and Design of Heritage Communications - Tools for Education and Training in CH - Usability, Effectiveness and Interface Design for CH Applications - Visualization - KEYNOTE SPEAKERS - Archaeology: Dr Zahi Hawass - General Secretary of the Supreme Council of Antiquities of Egypt Museums: Mme. Christiane Naffah - Director of the Research and Restoration Center for France Museums - BEST PAPERS AWARD - The best papers presented at VAST 2009 will be selected for re-submission on a special edition of the upcoming ACM Journal on Computing and Cultural Heritage (JOCCH), an online, peer reviewed publication. **** - UPDATED - (NEW!) VAST-STARs - **** VAST 2009 introduces the "VAST-STate-of-the-Art Reports (VAST-STARs)", inspired by the EG STARs. These are papers providing useful novel overviews of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of VAST. They are survey papers in what the community considers important areas that have not been covered before or recently. Their aim is to give a detailed account of the principles, algorithms and open problems of a research area, so that an interested reader can quickly come up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to submit to the VAST-STARs reports. Two VAST-STARs will be selected by peer review and will be published in the local proceedings together with the short/project papers. The VAST-STARs are also eligible for the best papers award. VAST-STARs authors will present their work with a 60 minute presentation during VAST 2009. We are also happy to announce that the chosen VAST-STARs will be invited to the Springer journal Virtual Reality. **** - PAPER SUBMISSIONS - We are soliciting five types of contributions: =Full research papers presenting new innovative results. These papers will be published by Eurographics in a high-quality proceedings volume. =VAST-STARs providing a useful novel overview of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary nature of VAST. These papers will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume and will be invited to the Springer journal Virtual Reality. =Project papers focusing on on-going projects, the description of project organization, use of technology, and lesson learned not innovative technical content. These papers will have an oral presentation and will be included in a "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. Authors will have the option to present a poster during the breaks to provide more information regarding the project. =Short papers presenting preliminary ideas and works-in-progress. These papers will have an oral presentation and will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. =Tutorials and Workshops: half-day and full-day working sessions that provide an opportunity to educate and share on key topics of interest face-to-face. Tutorial submissions will be published in the "Projects & Short Papers" proceedings volume. Workshops that provide supplemental materials in time for the CD-ROM printing will also be included. All material will be made available on the VAST 2009 website. All types of submissions will be reviewed and feedback given to the authors.

Call for Papers: APGV

by Stefanie Behnke

SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED PERCEPTION IN GRAPHICS AND VISUALIZATION (APGV) September 30 - October 2 2009 Chania, Crete, Greece The Symposium for Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization APGV unites researchers in the fields of perception, graphics, and visualization. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas --- in particular research in computer graphics and visualization can benefit from and contribute to research in perception. Our sixth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. For example, one of the impressive achievements of our visual system is the recovery of 3D structure from motion; computer graphics and animation algorithms may provide controls and insights into how this mechanism works. Likewise, determining how to make animated simulations of characters that are undetectable from real humans may rely on insights and research from perception. We invite submissions of original work in the areas described above that broadly meet two goals of our community: Goal 1. Use insights from perception to advance the design of methods for visual, auditory and haptic representation. Examples would include: * applications of insights from perception to the development of algorithms for more efficient, effective, or realistic modeling, rendering, and animation * applications of perception in the design and evaluation of methods for more effective representation and communication of data * computational aesthetics, stylization, and perceptual aspects of non-photorealistic rendering * perceptual issues arising due to fusion of digital imaging, computer vision, and computer graphics techniques * perception-inspired interfaces for immersive activities in virtual worlds Goal 2. Advance and facilitate novel basic perception and cognition research that uses and is relevant to applications in computer graphics and visualization. Examples would include: * perception and visuomotor control in computer games, virtual and augmented environments * fundamental contributions in spatial and temporal vision * integration of empirical perception research with computational models * color vision and color appearance modeling * the influence of attention and eye movements on visual perception and visual memory * statistical learning and perception of natural scenes * perception of shapes, surfaces and materials * visual illusions and perceptual organization having potential to enhance image depiction Important Dates 10 June 2009 Mandatory abstract submission 12 June 2009 Deadline for paper submission 17 July 2009 Notification of paper acceptance 31 July 2009 Final Papers Due 31 July 2009 Poster Submission Deadline 30 September-2 October 2009, Chania, Crete, Greece: Conference Research can be submitted as a long paper (up to 8 pages and a 20 minute talk), a short paper (up to 4 pages + 15 min talk), or as a poster presentation (1 page abstract). Papers that are not accepted will automatically be considered for the poster session. Authors of posters accepted by this route will of course have the option to decline the opportunity to present a poster. Please check the formatting guidelines before submitting your work on http://www.apgv.org. Submissions do not need to be anonymous. All papers will be carefully reviewed by our International Program committee. Papers will be evaluated as submitted, given the limited time between submission and final version. This year, under a new agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the ACM Publications Board, the strongest accepted papers will be accepted for "presentation" at APGV and accepted (with revisions) to ACM TAP. These papers will form the ACM TAP "APGV 2009 special issue," and will be given the designation "presented at APGV" as part of their TAP citation. For those papers so selected, we guarantee continuity of reviewers. Should a paper so selected not be adequately revised to the satisfaction of the editors for its final acceptance into TAP, it will revert to the APGV proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of such special issue papers must agree to present the paper at APGV. (As has always been the case, authors of regular APGV papers can still submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate additions.) Authors of accepted papers must prepare a final electronic version of their paper that is "camera-ready". This electronic version will appear in the ACM Digital Library as well as a conference proceedings DVD.

(Apologies for cross-posting) We would appreciate if you could distribute this information by your colleagues and co-workers. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS XXII Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing Rio de Janeiro, Brazil October 11-14, 2009 http://www.matmidia.mat.puc-rio.br/sibgrapi2009/ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Brazilian Symposium on Computer Graphics and Image Processing, SIBGRAPI 2009, will be held at the Pontifícia Universidade Católica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-Rio), Rio de Janeiro, RJ, Brazil, between October 11th and 14th, 2009. SIBGRAPI is the most important Brazilian meeting in Computer Graphics, Image Processing, and Computer Vision. Started in 1988 with the sponsorship of the Brazilian Computer Society, this will be its 22th edition. IEEE CS Press has published the proceedings of SIBGRAPI since 1997. All full papers are double blindly reviewed by three experts in the topic of the work, and all papers considered high quality will be accepted. As in the previews SIBGRAPI editions, the authors of the best papers shall be invited to submit extended versions of their work to international journals in the field (best computer graphics papers have been published in Computer Graphics Forum and The Visual Computer Journal, whereas the best image processing and computer vision papers have been published in Pattern Recognition Letters, Image and Vision Computing and Computerized Medical Imaging and Graphics). A novelty for this year is the beginning of a cooperation with the Eurographics Association, increasing the visibility of the Brazilian symposium considerably. SIBGRAPI 2009 will be organized in collaboration with SBGames, the largest conference in South America for Digital Game and Entertainment (www.sbc.org.br/sbgames). As invited speakers, we have the pleasure to announce the presence of: Prof. Jean-Daniel Boissonnat (http://www-sop.inria.fr/geometrica/team/JeanDaniel.Boissonnat/), Prof. Olga Sorkine (http://www.cs.nyu.edu/~sorkine/), Prof. Janusz Konrad (http://iss.bu.edu/jkonrad/), and Prof. Max A. Viergever (http://www.cs.uu.nl/staff/max.html). Additional invited talks may be confirmed at a later date. We invite you to participate by submitting your work in all areas of Computer Graphics, Image Processing and Computer Vision. The Full Papers are scheduled as oral presentations and published in the IEEE Proceedings (see http://www.matmidia.mat.puc-rio.br/sibgrapi2009/index.php/calls-for-partici… for details of how to submit the paper).
