Notification of paper acceptance: 22 May 2012 . Camera-ready SAP papers due and TAP revisions due for second review cycle : 29 May 2012 . Final TAP papers due: 15 June 2012 . Poster submissions: 29 May 2012 . Notification of poster acceptance: 5 June 2012 . Final posters due: 12 July 2012 The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP), formerly known as APGV, aims to further the development of inter-disciplinary research that crosses the boundaries between perception and disciplines such as graphics, visualization, vision, haptics and acoustics. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas and the scope includes applications and algorithms in any area of research that incorporates elements of perception and computer science. Our ninth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. By co-locating ACM SAP 2012 with the thirty-ninth annual SIGGRAPH conference (SIGGRAPH 2012) in Los Angeles, we aim to further promote communication between the core perception and the core computer graphics communities, and also bring back the symposium in its new form to the United States. The symposium will be hosted by the USC Institute for Creative Technologies. Relevant topics include: . Modeling, rendering, and animation . Visualization . Computational aesthetics . Haptic rendering, haptic input and perception . Computer vision . Color vision and color appearance modeling . Interaction techniques and interfaces . Augmented reality . Virtual worlds . Display technologies . Auditory display and interfaces . Perceptual auditory coding . Spatialized sound . Speech synthesis and recognition . Sensory integration . Multimodal rendering . Spatial and temporal vision . Empirical perception research . Attention and eye movements . Statistical learning and perception of natural scenes . Perception of shapes, surfaces and materials PAPERS 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 can 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 on the webpage before submitting your work on this page. Submissions do not need to be anonymous. All papers will be carefully reviewed by our International Program Committee. Under a recent agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the ACM Publications Board, the strongest accepted papers will be offered the possibility to be published as full papers at the ACM journal TAP. These papers will undergo a second review cycle, during which the authors will need to improve the paper as indicated by the summary review (similar to conditionally accepts at SIGGRAPH). Authors of such special issue papers must agree to present the paper at ACM SAP. As has always been the case, authors of regular ACM SAP papers can still submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate additions.

The poster track provides an interaction opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their new and innovative work-in-progress and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. It gives conference attendees a forum where they can learn about novel research and about on-going research projects. The poster track provides poster presenters with an excellent opportunity to receive invaluable feedback from knowledgeable sources. In addition to a poster being displayed throughout the EuroVA and EuroVis, a one-page summary of your work will be published in the EuroVA Proceedings. We particularly encourage contributions that take advantage of the nature of the poster space and forum to present and raise awareness of the research work and research projects in effective and imaginative ways. We therefore foresee three kinds of posters: - Research Posters - posters representing on-going research that might not yet be complete, but whose preliminary results are already interesting; - Case-Study Posters - posters describing on-going or recently finished case studies in all application areas; - Project Dissemination Posters - posters representing on-going or recently finished national or international research projects with a clear visual analytics aspect. It is important that visual analytics represent an important aspect of the project. Posters will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Poster authors must submit a one-page summary of their work in the EuroVA format. Summaries should include a concise description of the idea, the results or findings, supporting imagery and figures, and a discussion of the implications of the work to the selected domain. Full literature searches are not expected, although relevant citations should be included. Project Dissemination Posters should briefly describe the research project with a strong focus on the visual analytics aspects. The posters themselves have no predefined formatting, but dimensions may not exceed A0 paper size (841mm x 1189mm / 33.1" x 46.8"). Authors whose posters are accepted for the EuroVA will be asked to refine their summaries based upon feedback from reviewers. Posters will be included in the EuroVA proceedings.

The creation of educational materials, such as interactive electronic technical manuals (especially for Augmented-Reality-based scenarios) will be supported, as well as the approach to incorporate advanced real-time rendering features into the X3D standard, in a generic way that is independent from the specific rendering method. On the other hand, the conference will particularly focus on novel mobile AR applications, innovative 3D graphics Web applications and novel Medical and eHealth developments, aside from contents over 3D Internet. The annual ACM Web3D Conference is a major event that gathers researchers, developers, entrepreneurs, experimenters, artists, and content creators in a dynamic environment. Attendees can share and explore methods of using, enhancing, and creating new 3D Web and Multimedia technologies, such as WebGL and HTML5 (which is a hot topic in Computer Graphics), Flash/ Stage 3D, X3D, COLLADA, and the MPEG family. The conference highlights capabilities and trends in interactive 3D graphics across a wide range of applications and supports research from mobile devices up to high-end immersive environments. Topics --------- Topics may include, but are not limited to: * Modeling, processing, analysis and rendering of complex geometry, structure, and behaviors * 3D search, shape matching and indexing * Rendering algorithms and standardization and visualization of large data sets * Interaction methods for online 3D content * Interactive 3D graphics for mobile devices * Mixed and Augmented Reality (including standardization aspects) * Agents, animated humanoids, and complex reactive characters * Remote rendering and streaming * Stereo and multi-view visualization of 3D graphic interfaces * High-performance 3D graphics for distributed environments, tele-presence, tele-operation, and 3D broadcasting * Web, multimedia and standards integration and interoperation. Authors are also invited to submit advances in the above technologies applied to multimedia applications in: * Automotive, Security, Transport Industries * Life sciences and healthcare * Geospatial modeling and digital cities * Public sector and tourism * Cultural heritage and E-learning. Papers Submission Instructions ------------------------------------------ Authors are invited to submit full papers (up to 9 pages, including figures and references) or short papers (up to 4 pages, including figures and references) in PDF format via the SRM Submission Site. Papers must be formatted using the document templates for conferences sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH. Upon acceptance, the final revised paper is required also in electronic form. Accepted papers and posters will appear in the Web3D 2012 Conference Proceedings, published by ACM Press. Posters Submission Instructions ------------------------------------------- For the first time, there is an invitation for submitting proposals for technical poster presentations at Web3D 2012. Poster submissions (1 page) can e.g. describe recently completed work, highly relevant results of work in progress, as well as successfully developed systems and applications.

ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED PERCEPTION, SAP 2012

by Stefanie Behnke

ACM SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED PERCEPTION, SAP 2012 (http://www.apgv.org/index.html) (formerly known as APGV) August 3-4 August, Los Angeles, USA Important Dates . Paper submissions (long and short): 20 April 2012 . Notification of paper acceptance: 22 May 2012 . Camera-ready SAP papers due and TAP revisions due for second review cycle : 29 May 2012 . Final TAP papers due: 15 June 2012 . Poster submissions: 29 May 2012 . Notification of poster acceptance: 5 June 2012 . Final posters due: 12 July 2012 The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP), formerly known as APGV, aims to further the development of inter-disciplinary research that crosses the boundaries between perception and disciplines such as graphics, visualization, vision, haptics and acoustics. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas and the scope includes applications and algorithms in any area of research that incorporates elements of perception and computer science. Our ninth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. By co-locating ACM SAP 2012 with the thirty-ninth annual SIGGRAPH conference (SIGGRAPH 2012) in Los Angeles, we aim to further promote communication between the core perception and the core computer graphics communities, and also bring back the symposium in its new form to the United States. The symposium will be hosted by the USC Institute for Creative Technologies. Relevant topics include: . Modeling, rendering, and animation . Visualization . Computational aesthetics . Haptic rendering, haptic input and perception . Computer vision . Color vision and color appearance modeling . Interaction techniques and interfaces . Augmented reality . Virtual worlds . Display technologies . Auditory display and interfaces . Perceptual auditory coding . Spatialized sound . Speech synthesis and recognition . Sensory integration . Multimodal rendering . Spatial and temporal vision . Empirical perception research . Attention and eye movements . Statistical learning and perception of natural scenes . Perception of shapes, surfaces and materials PAPERS 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 can 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 on the webpage before submitting your work on this page. Submissions do not need to be anonymous. All papers will be carefully reviewed by our International Program Committee. Under a recent agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the ACM Publications Board, the strongest accepted papers will be offered the possibility to be published as full papers at the ACM journal TAP. These papers will undergo a second review cycle, during which the authors will need to improve the paper as indicated by the summary review (similar to conditionally accepts at SIGGRAPH). Authors of such special issue papers must agree to present the paper at ACM SAP. As has always been the case, authors of regular ACM SAP papers can still submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate additions.

Deadline extension - NPAR 2012 - Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering

by Paul Asente

The submission deadline for NPAR 2012 has been extended to March 16. NPAR 2012 — Call For Papers Submission deadline March 16, 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. Important Dates Papers submission deadline: March 16, 2012 Short track for SIGGRAPH rejected papers, with reviews: April 3, 2012 Accommodation Reservation: April 3, 2012 Acceptance notification: April 23, 2012 Papers Camera-ready deadline: May 1, 2012 Poster submission deadline: May 7, 2012 Conference: June 4-6, 2012 All deadlines are at 17:00 (5pm) Pacific Daylight Savings Time.
