Created in 2004, SBIM provides a unique venue for researchers,
students and practitioners interested in sketch-based techniques to
interact with one another, share lessons learned, show new results and
discuss open issues. This year, the symposium will be held in Annecy,
France as part of Expressive 2012. The symposium will include paper
presentations, coffee breaks, demonstrations, a social event, and a
keynote talk by Bob Sumner from Disney. All are welcome to attend
SBIM; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. The
proceedings will be published in the EG Symposia series and made
available online through the Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries.
Authors are invited to submit original papers on topics in pen-based
2D and 3D modeling, sketch recognition, and pen-based interface
design, including, but not limited to:
· Multimodal interfaces for sketching
· Novel sketch input and editing devices
· Novel pen-based interaction techniques
· Low level ink processing and pen stroke segmentation
· Sketch parsing, classification and recognition
· Sketch-based interfaces for CAD systems
· Sketch-based modeling and editing of 3D shapes
· Sketch-based control of animations
· Sketch-based interfaces for other applications: surface
editing, diagram creation, mathematical annotations, gamesâ¦
· Rendering techniques for sketch-based systems (NPR)
· Sketches for Medical and Volume data editing
· Sketch-based retrieval of multimedia information
· Usability studies of sketch-based systems
· Studies of the impact of sketching on creativity and design
· Multi-touch interfaces and applications
Looking forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you in Annecy in June,
Program Chairs: Karan Singh and Levent Burak Kara
Posters and Demos: Metin Sezgin

NPAR 2012 — Call For Papers
Submission deadline March 14, 2012
We invite you to submit your work to NPAR 2012, the 10th international symposium dedicated to non-photorealistic animation and rendering, sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and in cooperation with Eurographics.
Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) refers to computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually generate imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements.
NPAR 2012 is part of Expressive 2012, a joint symposium that combines NPAR with Computational Aesthetics (CAe) and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM). It will be co-located with the Annecy Film Festival and will take place in Annecy, France, June 4-6, 2012. A single registration for Expressive 2012 will include all three symposia. The Expressive 2012 web site can be found at http://cae-sbim-npar-2012.inrialpes.fr/. Because accommodations during the Annecy Film Festival are at a premium, we strongly urge those submitting work to reserve a room through the festival web site at the time of submission, and then cancel their reservations should they decide not to attend.
We invite researchers, artists, and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers and posters on their work. Submitted papers should be self-classified into one of the following three categories:
• Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional NPAR papers) These must contain novel results that make a substantitive contribution to the field.
• Production: candid discussion of the process of creating a work (e.g., film, image, game) or art tool (e.g., paint or CAD program, software library).
• Meta: statements about research that do not contain new results, e.g.: grand challenges, position papers, evaluation standards, surveys, and primers on art / aesthetics / psychophysics for a computer science audience.
All work must be previously unpublished and contain a novel contribution. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results.
Topic areas of the conference include but are not limited to:
• Expressive character animation and physics
• Abstraction and stylization of images/video
• Interaction techniques
• Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films)
• NPAR in real software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software)
• Visual composition
• Hardware acceleration
• Evaluation methods for NPAR algorithms
• Psychophysics of NPAR
• Rendering and layout for text and presentation graphics
• Quantitative analysis of human artists
• Generative or evolutionary approaches
• Style transfer
• Temporal and spatial coherence
• Adapting classic CG effects like motion blur, depth of field, and lighting for NPAR
• Simulation of natural media and traditional styles
• Non-traditional camera models
• Position papers on grand challenges
There is no absolute maximum length for paper submissions; please use the Siggraph length guidelines, found here: http://s2012.siggraph.org/submitters/technical-papers/publication-requireme…. In particular, note that papers longer than 8-10 pages must make a very significant contribution to be accepted. Papers should follow the ACM SIGGRAPH-sponsored conference formatting instructions (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions), including a title page with an abstract and keywords, and a bibliography. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Research papers are reviewed double-blind and so must be anonymous when submitted. Meta and Production papers are reviewed single-blind and the author’s reputation and institution are a factor that reviewers may consider. Information on the submission process will be available on our website.
The authors of the best papers will be invited to submit extended versions to a special section in Elsevier’s “Computers and Graphics” journal with a fast-track review process.
Accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM SIGGRAPH and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Posters will not be archived. Posters may be submitted in PDF format as either an extended abstract or as a draft of the poster itself. Rejected papers may be considered for the poster track.
Note that although the NPAR, SBIM and CAe symposia are held jointly, the paper submission and review processes are independent.
