Ninth International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA'09): 2nd Call For Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

2nd Call For Papers Ninth International Conference on Intelligent Virtual Agents (IVA'09) http://iva09.dfki.de/ September 14-16, 2009 Amsterdam, The Netherlands ********************************************************************** Intelligent virtual agents (IVAs) are interactive characters that exhibit human-like qualities and communicate with humans or each other using natural human modalities such as speech and gesture. They are capable of real-time perception, cognition and action that allow them to participate in a dynamic social environment. IVA'09 is an interdisciplinary annual conference and the main forum for presenting research on modeling, developing and evaluating intelligent virtual agents with a focus on communicative abilities and social behavior. In addition to presentations on theoretical issues, the conference encourages the showcasing of working applications. Researchers from the fields of human-human and human-robot interaction are also welcome to share work which has a bearing on intelligent virtual agents. IVA'09 is held in cooperation with the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI), the European Association for Computer Graphics (EG) and the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM SIGART and SIGCHI). SPECIAL TOPIC: GAMES IVA'09 particularly encourages submissions on this year's special topic of games. The game industry is the source of the world's largest selection of interactive characters. To date, the creation of these characters and their social behaviors has largely relied on carefully hand crafted techniques rather than automation. With larger environments, grander stories, more players and a greater demand for realism, hand crafted approaches are unlikely to scale. Imbuing characters with more intelligence and self-determination is an ongoing and so far unfulfilled goal of the game industry. IVA'09 is an opportunity to reveal, tackle and discuss the issues that relate to using intelligent virtual agents in games and aims to strengthen links and the exchange of knowledge between academia and the game industry. TOPICS OF INTEREST Design and modeling of IVAs - design criteria and design methodologies - evaluation methodologies and user studies - ethical considerations and social impact - applicable lessons from other fields (e.g. robotics) - dimensions of intelligence, cognition and behavior - models of personality and cultural awareness - models of social competence - models of multimodal perception and action - models of emotional communicative behavior Implementation of IVAs - software engineering issues - real-time integrated systems - portability and reuse - standards / measures to support interoperability - specialized tools, toolkits and tool chains - specialized modeling and animation technologies Applications of IVAs - future role and/or current experience in various fields including - computer games - art and entertainment - education and training - simulation and visualization - delivery platforms: desktop, single/multi- user, virtual/augmented/mixed reality Conceptual Frameworks for IVAs - learned, evolved or emergent behavior - improvisational or dramatic interaction - stages of autonomy (from avatars to agents) - massive simulations of crowds SUBMISSION DETAILS Prospective authors are invited to submit full papers (12-14 pages), short papers (6-7 pages), or poster papers (1-2 pages) in Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) format. For details on how to submit your paper, consult the conference web site: http://iva09.dfki.de IMPORTANT DATES 26 April, 2009 Submission of short and long IVA09 papers 30 May, 2009 Notifications of acceptance 19 June, 2009 Camera-ready copies 01 June, 2009 GALA video submission 14-16 September, 2009 Conference ORGANIZATION Chairs Zsófia Ruttkay, University of Twente, The Netherlands Michael Kipp, DFKI, Germany Anton Nijholt, University of Twente, The Netherlands Hannes Högni Vilhjálmsson, Reykjavík University, Iceland Best Paper Chair Thomas Rist, FH Augsburg, Germany Submissions Chair Patrick Gebhard, DFKI, Germany Poster and Demo Chair Dirk Heylen, University of Twente, The Netherlands Local Organization Chair Betsy van Dijk, University of Twente, The Netherlands Senior Program Committee Elisabeth André, University of Augsburg, Germany Ruth Aylett, Heriot-Watt University, UK Marc Cavazza, University of Teesside, UK Jonathan Gratch, University of Southern California, USA Stefan Kopp, Bielefeld University, Germany Jean-Claude Martin, LIMSI-CNRS, France Patrick Olivier, Newcastle University, UK Catherine Pelachaud, CNRS, TELECOM-ParisTech, France Helmut Prendinger, National Institute of Informatics, Japan MORE INFORMATION Please visit the conference web site: http://iva09.dfki.de/ Contact conference chair: iva09(a)dfki.de GALA 2009 The Gathering of Animated Lifelike Agents will take place at IVA'09.

NPAR 2009: Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

NPAR Call for Papers ==================== Conference: NPAR 2009 ACM International Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (co-located with SIGGRAPH 2009) Upcoming Deadlines: Abstract submission deadline April 13, 2009 Submission deadline April 15, 2009, 12 midnight PDT URL: http://www.npar.org/2009/ Conference date: August 1-2, 2009 Conference location: New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Aims and Scope: =============== NPAR 2009 is the 7th international symposium dedicated to non-photorealistic animation and rendering, sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and in cooperation with Eurographics. For the second time, NPAR will be co-located with SIGGRAPH which in 2009 takes place in New Orleans. This will allow us to raise attention for this important field, to open it to new people from academia, arts, and industry. Once again NPAR will bring together researchers and practitioners to showcase cutting-edge research in non-photorealistic animation and rendering systems and techniques. Non-photorealistic animation and rendering (NPAR) refers to techniques for visually communicating ideas and information. Such techniques usually generate imagery which is expressive, rather than photorealistic. We seek new research on both the mechanisms of non-photorealistic rendering techniques as well as the principles of visual communication via such artistic rendering. Specific themes of the conference include, but are not limited to: * Simulation of traditional and new graphical styles * Simulation of natural media * Hardware-accelerated non-photorealistic algorithms * Level-of-detail in image space * Abstraction and composition in rendered images * Synthesis of stroke-based patterns * Style transfer * Automatic painting from photographs and video * Temporal and spatial coherence in non-photorealistic rendering * Motion blur and depth of field in non-photorealistic images * Lighting models for NPAR * Non-traditional perspective * Non-photorealistic modeling * Animation systems * Computer-aided cartoon animation * 2D/3D integration * Live-action integration * Computer-aided in-betweening * Computer-aided layout * Matting and compositing * Image-based rendering * Rendering languages and systems * Practical NPAR applications * Evaluation methods for artistic graphics * Computer-generated abstract art We invite researchers and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers. Full-length papers are the primary medium for conveying new research results at the NPAR symposium. Submissions are sought that describe original, unpublished work on all themes listed above. Paper submissions should be at most 5000 words or 10 ACM conference pages in length. The title page should include an abstract (fewer than 200 words) and keywords. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Submission is single-blind, so papers may be submitted in "camera-ready" format. We recommend that prospective authors consult the SIGGRAPH publications page (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/) for information on paper formatting for paper submissions. The accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings by ACM SIGGRAPH and will be available online via the ACM Digital Library. Call for posters ================ Like in the previous years we again also ask for poster submissions for NPAR 2009. The poster session is an opportunity for authors to present their research results in an informal and interactive setting. Posters are intended to provide authors and participants with the ability to connect with each other and to engage in discussions about the work. It is an ideal venue for presenting ongoing research projects that might not yet be complete, but whose preliminary results are already interesting. Posters describing applications of NPR to animation, illustration, and/or interactive applications are also welcome. Posters should be submitted as a one-page extended abstract, and the format should follow the same guidelines as for the paper submissions, using the ACM SIGGRAPH format. The submission is electronic in PDF format; supplemental video and images may also be submitted. Submission is single-blind, so the one-page poster abstracts may be submitted in "camera-ready" format. We recommend that prospective authors consult the SIGGRAPH publications page for information on formatting for poster submissions (http://www.siggraph.org/publications/instructions/). Important Dates =============== Abstract submission deadline: April 13, 2009 Submission deadline: April 15, 2009, 12 midnight PDT Acceptance notification: May 22, 2009 Camera-ready deadline: May 29, 2009 Poster submission deadline: June 8, 2009 Poster acceptance notification: June 22, 2009 Poster camera-ready deadline: June 29, 2009 Organization ============ Bruce Gooch, University of Victoria, Canada (General Chair) Tobias Isenberg, University of Groningen, Netherlands (Program Chair) Craig Kaplan, University of Waterloo, Canada (Program Chair) Holger Winnemöller, Adobe Inc., USA (Poster Chair) Marc Nienhaus, mental images GmbH, Germany (Poster Chair) -- --[ Tobias Isenberg ]-------------------[ University of Groningen ]-- | Postbus 407, 9700 AK Groningen phone: +31-50-363-5089 | | The Netherlands fax: +31-50-363-3800 | --[ http://www.cs.rug.nl/~isenberg/ ]--------[ isenberg(a)cs.rug.nl ]--

Eurographics VAST'09 - 1st Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

====================================================================================== 10th VAST International Symposium on Virtual Reality, Archeology and Cultural Heritage 7th Eurographics Workshop on Graphics and Cultural Heritage (VAST'09) September 22-25, 2009, Valletta, Malta http://www.vast2009.org ====================================================================================== -------------------- Call for Papers -------------------- -Towards a "digital agenda" for the integration of technologies into Archeology 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 - Archeology: 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. - (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 become up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to submit to the VAST-STARs reports. The VAST-STARs will be published with the full papers and are also eligible for the best paper award. Two VAST-STARs will be selected by peer review and will be published in the EG proceedings together with the full papers. VAST-STARs authors will present their work with a 60 minute presentation during VAST 2009. - 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. =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.

SBIM 2009 Sixth Eurographics/ACM Symposium on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling August 1-2, 2009, New Orleans, LA USA Co-located with SIGGRAPH 2009 Advances in pen-based computer hardware have enabled digital sketch-based interfaces to emerge as a powerful way to combine the quick and intuitive feel of paper with the power of computation. However, fully realizing the potential of these sketch-based systems requires effective user interface design and underlying algorithms to analyze the input. The goal of this symposium is to explore models, algorithms and technologies needed to enable effective sketch-based interfaces. It investigates novel methods for classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and the ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, from text, mathematics, and 2D diagrams to 3D shapes. Likewise, the symposium explores the application of sketch-based interfaces to 3D computer graphics, animation, and CAD, as well as other specific applications such as diagram editing and note taking.. Finally, the symposium welcomes empirical user studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing them to other interaction techniques. 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 New Orleans, Louisiana and will be co-located with the 36th International Conference and Exhibition on Computer Graphics and Interactive Techniques (ACM SIGGRAPH 2009). The two-day symposium will include paper presentations (single track), coffee breaks, a social event, and a keynote talk by Dr. Mark Gross of Carnegie Mellon University. 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 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, games, etc.) 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 Important Dates April 15, 2009 Paper Deadline May 20, 2009 Notification of Decisions June 1, 2009 Final Papers Due August 1-2, 2009 Conference Dates Conference Organization General Chair: Nathan Carr and Faramarz Samavati Program Chairs: Cindy Grimm and Joseph J.
