Computational Aesthetics 2011 – Call for Papers (reminder)

by Christian Richardt

Computational Aesthetics 2011 – Call for Papers =============================================== Date: August 5 – 7, 2011 Location: Vancouver, Canada URL: http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/2011/ Computational Aesthetics (CAe) 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 behaviors. 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 Computational Aesthetics 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. Refereed CAe papers and artworks aim 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. For the first time in its history, CAe 2011 will be run jointly with the related conferences on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR 2011) and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM 2011), and the event will be co-located with the world’s leading conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques: SIGGRAPH 2011. CAe/NPAR/SBIM 2011 will be held on August 5–7, 2011, in Vancouver, Canada, as a two-and-a-half day, two-track event running before SIGGRAPH. Three invited talks will be shared among the conferences and sessions will be mixed. Participants will be able to freely switch between the sessions to not only see the talks of their own field of work but also be inspired but talks from related domains. The submission, reviewing, and publishing process for the event, however, will be handled separately between the three conferences. Technical submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific technical areas include, but are not limited to: * computational analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life); * artistic image transformation techniques (colors, edges, patterns, dithering); * image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others); * visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based); * sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive); * composition, visual balance, layout; * non-photorealistic and illustrative rendering addressing computational aesthetics; * empirically based metrics of aesthetical attributes; * applied visual perception (color appearance, spatial vision, and other aspects); * measuring and describing aesthetics; and * computational tools for artists. Successful submissions can, for example, describe novel technical approaches that address one or more of the areas mentioned above (or beyond). However, we are equally interested in papers that discuss the use of existing techniques but combine them in an interesting new way or apply them in a new context that addresses problems in computational aesthetics. 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, and should be no longer than 8 pages. The submission is single-blind, so please format your paper camera-ready including author names and affiliations. Please see the web version of the call for further detail on how to prepare your paper: <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/conference/cae-sbim-npar-2011/CAe/CallForPapers>. Paper submissions should be made via the Computational Aesthetics conference management system at <https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/CSN2011/>. When starting a new submission, please select the “Computational Aesthetics: Technical” track. Accepted technical and art papers will be presented at the symposium and appear in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published in the Eurographics Workshop and Symposia Series, and will be listed in the Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries. Important Dates --------------- Submission deadline : Monday 25 April 2011 Acceptance notification : Monday 6 June 2011 Camera-ready deadline : Monday 13 June 2011 Conference : Friday 5 – Sunday 7 August 2011 Organization ------------ Conference Chairs: Tobias Isenberg, University of Groningen Douglas Cunningham, MPI Tübingen Arts Chairs: Andres Wanner, Simon Fraser University Allen Bevans, Simon Fraser University Posters Chair: Bernhard Riecke, Simon Fraser University Publicity Chair: Christian Richardt, University of Cambridge Further Information ------------------- Download a PDF of the call here: <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/conference/cae-sbim-npar-2011/uploads/CAe/cae2011-c…>

by Stefanie Behnke

APPLIED PERCEPTION IN GRAPHICS AND VISUALIZATION, APGV 2011 ( <http://www.apgv.org/index.html> http://www.apgv.org/index.html) Submission system now open!! <https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apgv2011> https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=apgv2011 August 27-28, Toulouse, France Important Dates Paper submissions (long and short): 22 April 2011 Notification of paper acceptance: 27 May 2011 Final papers due: 3 June 2011 Final TAP papers due: 1 July 2011 Poster submissions: 24 June 2011 Notification of poster acceptance: 27 June 2011 Final posters due: 1 July 2011 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 eight annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. This year, APGV 2011 will be co-located with the European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP), the largest European conference on visual perception. We invite submissions of original work in all areas that link perception, computer graphics and visualization. This includes, for example, methods for visual, auditory and multimodal representation, work that advances research on perception and cognition using methods from computer graphics and visualization, and studies that exploit perception research to optimize and design technical systems in these areas. Relevant topics 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, visualization and communication of data . computational aesthetics, stylization, and perceptual aspects of non-photorealistic rendering and visualization . perceptual issues arising due to fusion of digital imaging, computer vision, and computer graphics techniques . perception-inspired interfaces for immersive activities in virtual worlds as well as for interactive/3D TV and cinema . perception and visuomotor control in computer games, virtual and augmented environments . fundamental contributions in spatial and temporal vision that are relevant for technical applications . 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, especially if relevant for technical applications . statistical learning and perception of natural scenes . perception of shapes, surfaces and materials . visual illusions and perceptual organization having potential to enhance image depiction By co-locating APGV 2011 with the European Conference on Visual Perception (ECVP), we aim to further promote communication between the fundamental and the more applied aspects of perception, while bringing APGV back to Europe. 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; see below for a description of the posters program, which this year presents some novelties). 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 before submitting your work on <http://www.apgv.org/Formatting_Guidelines.html> this page. 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. Under a recent agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the ACM Publications Board, the five strongest accepted papers will be offered the possibility to be published as full paper 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 APGV. As has always been the case, authors of regular APGV papers can still submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate additions. POSTERS Each accepted poster will have a surface that is 8 feet long and 4 feet high. This gives a large canvas on which to work and it is up to the authors how they choose to use it.

Instructions for Submission All contributions submitted to the Eurographics Symposium on Rendering 2010 must be original, unpublished work. Any work that has previously been published or simultaneously been submitted in substantially similar form to any other conference or journal will be rejected. Contributions must be written and presented in English. Only electronic submissions will be accepted. Submitted manuscripts should be formatted using the Eurographics publication style proceedings templates, and be anonymized for the double-blind reviewing process. Papers should be as long as their content requires, but not longer. Papers with average length requirements are expected to be 8 formatted pages long, including references and all figures; up to 10 pages will be allowed only where justified. During the review process, each paper's contribution will be judged in proportion to its length: a solid contribution described clearly and succinctly is more likely to be accepted than the same result submitted in a longer paper. All submissions must be made through the Eurographics Submission and Review Management system, using the following URL: https://srm.eg.org/SRM_SR2011. The submission deadlines will be strictly enforced. The authors of each accepted paper need to complete and return the EG Copyright Assignment Form before the paper can be published.

Computational Aesthetics 2011 - Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

Computational Aesthetics 2011 Call for Papers =============================================== Date: August 5 7, 2011 Location: Vancouver, Canada URL: http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/2011/ Computational Aesthetics (CAe) 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 behaviors. 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 Computational Aesthetics 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. Refereed CAe papers and artworks aim 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. For the first time in its history, CAe 2011 will be run jointly with the related conferences on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR 2011) and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM 2011), and the event will be co-located with the worlds leading conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques: SIGGRAPH 2011. CAe/NPAR/SBIM 2011 will be held on August 57, 2011, in Vancouver, Canada, as a two-and-a-half day, two-track event running before SIGGRAPH. Three invited talks will be shared among the conferences and sessions will be mixed. Participants will be able to freely switch between the sessions to not only see the talks of their own field of work but also be inspired but talks from related domains. The submission, reviewing, and publishing process for the event, however, will be handled separately between the three conferences. Technical submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific technical areas include, but are not limited to: * computational analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life); * artistic image transformation techniques (colors, edges, patterns, dithering); * image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others); * visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based); * sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive); * composition, visual balance, layout; * non-photorealistic and illustrative rendering addressing computational aesthetics; * empirically based metrics of aesthetical attributes; * applied visual perception (color appearance, spatial vision, and other aspects); * measuring and describing aesthetics; and * computational tools for artists. Successful submissions can, for example, describe novel technical approaches that address one or more of the areas mentioned above (or beyond). However, we are equally interested in papers that discuss the use of existing techniques but combine them in an interesting new way or apply them in a new context that addresses problems in computational aesthetics. 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, and should be no longer than 8 pages. The submission is single-blind, so please format your paper camera-ready including author names and affiliations. Please see the web version of the call for further detail on how to prepare your paper: <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/conference/cae-sbim-npar-2011/CAe/CallForPapers>. Paper submissions should be made via the Computational Aesthetics conference management system at <https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/CSN2011/>. When starting a new submission, please select the Computational Aesthetics: Technical track. Accepted technical and art papers will be presented at the symposium and appear in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published in the Eurographics Workshop and Symposia Series, and will be listed in the Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries. Important Dates --------------- Submission deadline : Monday 25 April 2011 Acceptance notification : Monday 6 June 2011 Camera-ready deadline : Monday 13 June 2011 Conference : Friday 5 Sunday 7 August 2011 Organization ------------ Conference Chairs: Tobias Isenberg, University of Groningen Douglas Cunningham, MPI Tübingen Arts Chairs: Andres Wanner, Simon Fraser University Allen Bevans, Simon Fraser University Posters Chair: Bernhard Riecke, Simon Fraser University Publicity Chair: Christian Richardt, University of Cambridge Further Information ------------------- Download a PDF of the call here: <http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/conference/cae-sbim-npar-2011/uploads/CAe/cae2011-c fp.pdf>
