by Stefanie Behnke

*** EXTENTED Deadline: May 9, 2008 *** Point-Based Graphics 2008 - Final Call for Papers Los Angeles, CA, USA - August 9-10, 2008 http://www.point-graphics.org Co-sponsored by Eurographics and the IEEE-CS Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC) The drive for increasingly complex 3D geometric models, especially those scanned from the real-world, has brought about a growing interest in methods that build on point primitives. Following the highly successful 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 Symposia on Point-Based Graphics, the 5th symposium of its series, PBG08, aims to further demonstrate the applicability of point-based methods in modeling, rendering, and simulation, and in a wide range of application domains. PBG08 will take place in in Los Angeles, CA, USA, from August 9-10, 2008, co-located with ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 and co-organized with the International Symposium on Volume Graphics (VG08). We invite your original contributions in areas including, but not limited to, the following: - Data acquisition and surface reconstruction - Geometric modeling using point primitives - Sampling, approximation, and interpolation - Transmission and compression of point-sampled geometry - Rendering algorithms for point primitives - Geometry processing of point models - Topological properties of point clouds - Hardware architectures for point primitives - Animation and morphing of point-sampled geometry - Hybrid representations and algorithms - Use of point-based methods in real-world applications PBG was established do develop and leverage the newly created field of point based graphics and to establish a community of its own. With the 5. symposium of this kind in 2008 and the broad spectrum of scientific publications on the subject, we believe that our initial mission is accomplished. At the same time we observe a natural evolution and confluence of point graphics and volume graphics into the broader field of "Sample Based Graphics". In order to address this development VG'08 and PBG'08 will organize a joint track on the topic to evaluate its suitability as new direction into which both symposia might evolve in the years to come.

Preference will be given to authors of papers and posters and to students with larger travel costs. Exact award amounts will depend on the final number of awarded bursaries. POSTERS AND DEMOS A poster and demo presentation is the perfect opportunity for authors to display and discuss late-breaking technical achievements that are either not ready or not suitable for publication as full papers. The poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA program, with specific time allotted for poster presenters and symposium participants to view and discuss the work. A pamphlet containing summaries of the posters will be distributed to all participants, and all presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute description of their work during a poster fast-forward session. ****Eligibility Poster presentations are not formal publications, so work submitted as a poster is still eligible for later publication in a journal or conference proceedings. We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions: * Up and coming computer animation research * Technically novel production work * Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted to other conferences such as I3D or NPAR, or the SIGGRAPH Sketches program. * Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related research at a given institution. Please note that in order to maintain the quality of discussions and interactivity at the poster session, there must be at least one dedicated presenter for each poster. ****Format The submission for a poster should consist of a summary of no more than 2 pages in length. Each submission must be saved as PDF and formatted according to the EG publication style. Latex example available at: http://gv2.cs.tcd.ie/sca08/SCAPoster08.zip. Submissions must be camera-ready. This means that author names must be present in the submission. The review process will be single blind. ****Supplementary Materials The submission of supplementary materials is not required; however, a draft of the poster in PDF format is encouraged. For the final presentation, videos and interactive demonstrations are also highly encouraged. We will provide electrical outlets and tables so that authors can display such demonstrations using their own equipment. ****Electronic Submission All PDF poster summaries should be submitted via email to SCA2008.Posters(a)gmail.com by the deadline. Due to GMails limits, each email message must be less than 10MB. If this is not sufficient for your submission or supplemental materials, you may send your submission in parts as attachments to several emails. For supplemental materials, links to external websites are also allowable. ****Fast Forward Slide Authors of accepted posters will be required to provide a PowerPoint slide describing their work for the poster fast forward presentation session.

SAMT 2008 - CALL FOR WORKSHOPS

by Stefanie Behnke

*************************************************************** * SAMT 2008 - CALL FOR WORKSHOPS * * 3rd International Conference on * * Semantics And digital Media Technologies * * Koblenz, Germany, 3-5 December 2008 * *************************************************************** In cooperation with ACM, IEEE, and Eurographics. SAMT 2008 invites proposals for workshops to be held in conjunction with the Third International Conference on Semantics And digital Media Technology. Workshops will be held on Wednesday, December 3, 2008, before the start of the main technical program. --------------------- Objectives and Topics --------------------- As the volume of multimedia material grows, so do the problems of managing of distribution and access to multimedia content. The SAMT conference series addresses these problems from the perspective of semantics and pragmatics of multimedia generation, management and user access. As well as research papers, the conference programme also includes workshops and tutorials. The purpose of the SAMT workshops programme is to provide a platform for presenting and exchanging research ideas in a less formal and possibly more focused way than the conference itself. They should stimulate and facilitate an atmosphere of active and constructive exchange on current issues of interest. They also offer a good opportunity for young researchers to present their work and to obtain feedback from an interested community. We are seeking proposals for workshops that will encourage discussions on how to bridge the gap between low-level data representations used in media such as computer graphics, images, and audio, and the high-level meaning that content providers and users associate with multimedia content. In particular, from a content perspective, we encourage workshops that: i) investigate the use and application of technologies for improving multimedia access and processing; ii) explore best practices and adaptation of those technologies in these contexts. These workshops are expected to complement those that focus on fundamental research issues and multi-disciplinary topics. Workshop proposals should address current issues related to semantics and digital media that will benefit from the small-group format that workshops provide for information exchange and discussion. Workshops are intended to be genuine interactive events and not mini-conferences. We strongly encourage workshop submissions on falling within the main six main themes of the conference: 1) Semantic Analysis and Multimedia 2) Semantic Retrieval and Multimedia 3) Semantic Metadata Management of Multimedia 4) Semantic User Interfaces for Multimedia 5) Semantics in Visualization and Computer Graphics 6) Applications of Semantic Multimedia --------------------- Submitting a Proposal --------------------- Workshop proposals should be no more than 3 pages in length and should contain the following information: 1) The title and brief description of the workshop, specifying the goals and the technical issues that it will focus on. How relevant and significant this workshop is to the conference. 2) A brief description of why and to whom the workshop is of interest, and the expected range of number of participants. 3) A brief description of the proposed workshop format, discussing the mix of events such as paper presentations, invited talks, panels, and general discussion. 4) An indication of whether the workshop should be considered for a half-day or full-day meeting. 5) Links to relevant material, related workshops or similar events, project web sites etc. 6) The names and contact information (web page, email address) of the proposed organizing committee, short description of their relevant experience and short CVs. We strongly advise having more than one organizer, preferably from different institutions, bringing different perspectives to the workshop topic. Workshop attendees will have to pay the SAMT 2008 workshop registration fee, and also register and attend the main SAMT 2008 conference. The organizer(s) of approved workshops will be responsible for advertising their workshop and for the reviewing process for their workshop's papers.

by Stefanie Behnke

Point-Based Graphics 2008 - Call for Papers Los Angeles, CA, USA - August 9-10, 2008 http://www.point-graphics.org Submission Deadline: April 30, 2008 Co-sponsored by Eurographics and the IEEE-CS Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee (VGTC) The drive for increasingly complex 3D geometric models, especially those scanned from the real-world, has brought about a growing interest in methods that build on point primitives. Following the highly successful 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 Symposia on Point-Based Graphics, the 5th symposium of its series, PBG08, aims to further demonstrate the applicability of point-based methods in modeling, rendering, and simulation, and in a wide range of application domains. PBG08 will take place in in Los Angeles, CA, USA, from August 9-10, 2008, co-located with ACM SIGGRAPH 2008 and co-organized with the International Symposium on Volume Graphics (VG08). We invite your original contributions in areas including, but not limited to, the following: - Data acquisition and surface reconstruction - Geometric modeling using point primitives - Sampling, approximation, and interpolation - Transmission and compression of point-sampled geometry - Rendering algorithms for point primitives - Geometry processing of point models - Topological properties of point clouds - Hardware architectures for point primitives - Animation and morphing of point-sampled geometry - Hybrid representations and algorithms - Use of point-based methods in real-world applications PBG was established do develop and leverage the newly created field of point based graphics and to establish a community of its own. With the 5. symposium of this kind in 2008 and the broad spectrum of scientific publications on the subject, we believe that our initial mission is accomplished. At the same time we observe a natural evolution and confluence of point graphics and volume graphics into the broader field of "Sample Based Graphics". In order to address this development VG'08 and PBG'08 will organize a joint track on the topic to evaluate its suitability as new direction into which both symposia might evolve in the years to come. For more information about submission, please visit http://point-graphics.org Important Dates: Paper submission deadline: Apr 30, 2008 Notification of acceptance: Jun 4, 2008 Camera-ready copy: Jun 18, 2008 Symposium: Aug 9-10, 2008 General Chairs: Mario Botsch, ETH Zurich Matthias Zwicker, University of California, San Diego Papers Chairs: Renato Pajarola, University of Zurich Oliver Staadt, University of Rostock

More details on the website. ==================================================== Full Papers Paper submissions must be anonymous, should not exceed 10 A4 pages, and should be formatted according to the EG publication style. Papers should be written and presented in English. Authors must include a declaration stating that the main contribution claimed in their paper has not previously appeared in, and is not currently submitted to, any other conference or journal. To be considered for review, all papers must be submitted electronically through the SCA submission website: http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_SCA08 Full submission instructions and templates are available there. Supplementary material such as videos may also be submitted electronically and will be made available to reviewers. 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. Authors of accepted papers will be responsible for preparing a final camera-ready electronic version of their paper. In addition to the printed proceedings, a DVD-ROM will be published with supplemental materials. If an author submits supplemental materials for review with their paper, that material (or a revised version) must also be provided by the authors for inclusion on the DVD-ROM. Authors of some rejected papers with high potential will be invited to submit their work to the combined posters and demos sessions. ==================================================== Posters and Demos A poster and demo presentation is the perfect opportunity for authors to display and discuss late-breaking technical achievements that are either not ready or not suitable for publication as full papers. The poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA program, with specific time allotted for poster presenters and symposium participants to view and discuss the work. A pamphlet containing summaries of the posters will be distributed to all participants, and all presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute description of their work during a poster fast-forward session. This year, there are two deadlines for different types of posters. The first is for scientific and industry posters. This deadline is near to the time of the paper deadline, as these posters will be reviewed by the International Program Committee members. The second deadline is for invited and lab posters. Eligibility Poster presentations are not formal publications, so work submitted as a poster is still eligible for later publication in a journal or conference proceedings. We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions: * Up and coming computer animation research * Technically novel production work * Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted to other conferences such as I3D or NPAR, or the SIGGRAPH Sketches program. * Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related research at a given institution. Please note that in order to maintain the quality of discussions and interactivity at the poster session, there must be at least one dedicated presenter for each poster. Format The submission for a poster should consist of a summary of no more than 2 pages in length. Each submission must be saved as PDF and formatted according to the EG publication style. Submissions must be camera-ready. This means that author names must be present in the submission. The review process will be single blind. Supplementary Materials The submission of supplementary materials is not required; however, a draft of the poster in PDF format is encouraged. For the final presentation, videos and interactive demonstrations are also highly encouraged. We will provide electrical outlets and tables so that authors can display such demonstrations using their own equipment. Electronic Submission All PDF poster summaries should be submitted via email to SCA2008.Posters(a)gmail.com by the deadline. Due to GMails limits, each email message must be less than 10MB. If this is not sufficient for your submission or supplemental materials, you may send your submission in parts as attachments to several emails. For supplemental materials, links to external websites are also allowable. Fast Forward Slide Authors of accepted posters will be required to provide a PowerPoint slide describing their work for the poster fast forward presentation session. Details about preparation of the slide will be provided later via email to accepted presenters. -- Prof. Carol O'Sullivan GV2: Graphics, Vision and Visualisation group Computer Science Dept, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland.

by Joaquim A. Jorge

Submission deadline (Full Papers / Short Papers / Panels): **Extended to March 17 2008** Computational Aesthetics 2008 http://computational-aesthetics.org June 18-20, 2008, Lisbon, Portugal Keynote Speaker: Pat Hanrahan, Stanford, CA and Ernest Edmonds, UT Sydney Guest talks by David Salesin, Adobe and Turner Whitted, MSR (*) Due to many requests, we have extended the submission deadline to Monday, March 17 Midnight PST You are invited to participate in the fourth annual symposium on Computational Aesthetics that will take place at the Hotel Riviera in Lisbon, Portugal from 18-20 June 2008. Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic and integrates aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine & performing arts. In particular it focuses on the mathematical and information theoretic aspects of both connectionist and symbol processing methods by humans and computers. Computational Aesthetics seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviour. It 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. Invited talks will be given by individuals involved in the technical, artistic and theoretical aspects of this young field to help participants to better understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is currently capable of delivering, and to appreciate what is involved in the creative process. Technical submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics (for the Call for Participation by experts in the visual arts, see the website). Specific examples include, but are not limited to: • Computational analysis and modelling of creative behaviour (AI, A-life) • Artistic Image Transformation Techniques (colours, edges, patterns, dithering) • Image Analogies, Style Transfer Methods • Image Style and Salience Analysis (Paintings, Photographs, others) • Visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based) • Sketching, Simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive) • Composition, Visual Balance, Layout • Non-Photorealistic Rendering • Empirically based Metrics of Aesthetical Attributes • Applied Visual Perception (Colour Appearance, Spatial Vision, and other aspects) Paper Submission: Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work. The manuscripts must be written in English, must be formatted according to the EG publication guidelines, and can be no longer than 8 pages.

SBIM 2008 Deadline extended

by Stefanie Behnke

DEADLINE EXTENDED SBIM 2008 Fifth Eurographics workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling June 11-13, Annecy, France http://www.eg.org/sbm co-located with NPAR 2008 and the Annecy Animation Film Festival Important Dates March 17, 2008 ***Extended Paper Deadline*** April 20, 2008 Notification of Decisions May 2, 2008 Final Papers Due June 11-13, 2008 Conference Dates Call for Papers Although computers are indispensable tools, pencil and paper still reign in the early stages of design in domains such as engineering, architectural design and in the entertainment industry, from 3D animation to video games. Enabled by advances in pen-based computer hardware, digital sketch-based interfaces are emerging as a way to combine the quick and intuitive feel of paper with the advantages of digital technology. However, fully realizing the potential of these sketch-based systems requires effective user interface design and underlying algorithms to analyse the input. Interpreting the users' sketches as advanced 2D or 3D models is a fascinating research area that builds on human perception, shape recognition and geometric modeling techniques. In addition to sketching from scratch, many tasks related to modeling, editing and control can be made more efficient through systems that allow the user to annotate existing data, from text and diagrams to images, videos or 3D shapes. The workshop will explore models, algorithms and technologies needed to enable effective sketch-based interfaces. It will investigate 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 and 2D diagrams to 3D shapes. Likewise, the workshop will explore the application of sketch-based interfaces to domains as diverse as 3D computer graphics and animation, CAD, diagram editing, note taking, etc. Finally, the workshop will welcome 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 and students interested in sketch-based techniques to interact with one another, share lessons learned, show new results and discuss open issues. This year, the workshop will be held in Annecy, France, a friendly little town surrounded by the beautiful French Alps. It will take place during the famous Annecy Animation Film Festival and be held back to back with NPAR'2008 (the premier conference for techniques in expressive rendering and animation), encouraging participation in both events. The two-days workshop will include paper presentations (single track), coffee breaks, a social event and invited talks. All are welcome to attend the workshop; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. The proceedings will be published in the EG Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital Library. 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 The workshop is small and provides plenty of time for interaction, so authors of workshop papers are strongly encouraged to provide demos. Submission Information Authors are requested to submit original research papers, no longer than 8 pages, with the main body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format. All submissions are electronic. You can get more information and download a set of LaTeX style files (starting early 2008) from the workshop web site: http://www.eg.org/sbm Please contact the program chairs (alvarado(a)cs.hmc.edu or marie-paule.cani(a)inrialpes.fr) with any submission questions.
