Computational Aesthetics 2010 - Deadline extended until February 26th 2010

by Stefanie Behnke

Apologies for multiple copies. Computational Aesthetics 2010 - London, UK. UPDATE 1 - Deadline extended until February 26th 2010. ***UPDATE 2 - The best papers will be submitted to a special issue of Computers & Graphics.*** Call for papers Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic by integrating aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. It seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviours. CAe also investigates the creation of tools that can enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and furthers our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. The conference brings together individuals with technical experience of developing computer based tools to solve aesthetic problems and people with artistic/design backgrounds who use these new tools. Invited talks will be given by technical, theoretical and artistic/design figures. The talks will help participants better understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is currently capable of and, equally, to fully appreciate what is involved in artistic design and creative process. Refereed papers and artworks will be presented in a single track program that aims to facilitate a dialogue between scientists and engineers who are creating new tools, and also artists and designers who use them. Presentations will 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. Technical submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific technical areas include, but are not limited to: a.. computational analysis and modelling of creative behaviour (AI, A-life); b.. artistic image transformation techniques (colours, edges, patterns, dithering); c.. image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others); d.. visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based); e.. sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive); f.. composition, visual balance, layout; g.. non-photorealistic rendering; h.. empirically based metrics of aesthetical attributes; and i.. applied visual perception (colour appearance, spatial vision, and other aspects). j.. measuring and describing aesthetics and k.. computational tools for artists Technical Paper Submissions Technical papers should present original, unpublished work. The manuscripts must be written in English, must be formatted according to the EG publication guidelines (see the submission site for the LaTeX templates), and should be no longer than 8 pages. For all Submissions see: http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/cae2010/ You can start a new submission at the EG submission site: http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_CAE10/ Accepted technical and art papers will be presented at the symposium, and appear in the proceedings.

Otaduy (Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid) *** Important Dates *** All deadlines are 11:59pm Central European Time (GMT+2). 11th of Apr 2010: Deadline for papers submissions 9th of May 2010: Notification of papers acceptance 23rd of May 2010: Camera-ready papers due 2nd-4th of Jul 2010: Symposium All papers will be reviewed carefully by the International Program Committee members. Given the limited time between submission and final version, papers will be evaluated as submitted. The SCA'10 electronic proceedings will be archived in the EG and ACM digital libraries. Extraordinarily good submissions will be invited to submit extended papers to ACM Transaction on Graphics (TOG). Authors of some rejected papers with high potential will be invited to submit their work to a combined posters & demos track. In addition to the technical papers and the posters & demos track, the conference program will also include an animation track. Please check the conference webpage (http://www.gmrv.es/sca2010/) for regular updates and more information. We look forward to seeing you in Madrid!
