Call for Papers for Computational Aesthetics 2007 (CAe 2007)

by Stefanie Behnke

Call for Papers for Computational Aesthetics 2007 (CAe 2007), held on June 20-22, 2007 in Banff, Alberta, Canada http://innovis.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/cae2007/ Our ability to convey complex meaning and emotion by the clever arrangement of symbols and signs is one of the most celebrated aspects of our human heritage. If Aesthetics is defined as the interaction between symbol and observer within a social context, then Computational Aesthetics is the empirically based field that examines applications of Aesthetics. Computational Aesthetics integrates aspects of computer science, psychology, and the visual arts, with particular focus on the mathematical and information theoretic aspects of symbol processing by humans and computers. By combining insights from these fields, Computational Aesthetics not only provides tools for the graphics and visualization communities to increase the value of displayed imagery and to avoid classical artifacts, but also furthers our understanding of perception and meaning. Computer based tools, resulting from Computational Aesthetics research, may also be used to enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and to expand the role of aesthetic design as a differentiating factor in product development and retail sales. We are pleased to announce the third workshop on Computational Aesthetics, which will take place in Banff, Alberta, Canada on June 20-22, 2007. It is the third event on this topic following a Workshop in 2005 in Girona, Spain, and a Dagstuhl seminar in Germany in 2006. This conference will bring together individuals with technical backgrounds who are developing computer based tools to solve aesthetic problems and people with artistic and design backgrounds who use these new tools in their work. Invited talks will be given by leading technical and artistic/design figures to help participants to better understand what computer technology is capable of delivering and to fully appreciate what is involved in the artistic and design process. Refereed papers will also be presented to 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. The overriding goal of the conference will be to facilitate a dialogue between the scientists and engineers who are creating these new tools and the artists and designers who are the end users. Submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific examples include, but are not limited to: * Artistic Image Transformation Techniques (colors, edges, patterns, dithering) * Image Analogies, Style Transfer Methods * Sketching, Simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive) * Composition, Visual Balance, Layout * Non-Photorealistic Rendering * Image Style Analysis (Paintings, Photographs, others) * Empirically based Metrics of Aesthetical Attributes * Applied Visual Perception (Color Appearance, Spatial Vision, and other aspects) Submitted papers should be original, unpublished work of up to 8 pages. The manuscripts must be written in English. For more information including paper formatting and submission guidelines see the website at http://innovis.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/cae2007/ Please note that this call for technical contributions is complemented by a call for participation by experts in the visual arts, for details see the website.

IEEE CG&A: CfP 3D-Documents Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

IEEE CG&A Call for Papers 3D Documents Special Issue of IEEE CG&A, July/August 2007 Guest Editors Dieter W. Fellner and Dietmar Saupe Submissions Due: 20 October 2006 Author Notification: 17 January 2007 Final Versions Due: 20 March 2007 To expedite the review process we would appreciate it if authors intending to submit a paper could send a title, author list, and abstract to 3d-docs(a)cgv.tugraz.at by 2 October 2006. Digital libraries (DLs), in general, and technical or cultural preservation applications, in particular, offer a rich set of multimedia objects like audio, music, images, videos, and, of course, 3D models. However, instead of handling these objects consistently as regular documents-in the same way we handle text documents-most applications handle them differently. Looking at textual documents as being only one media type among many, it becomes clear that this type of document is handled quite specially. A full-text search engine permits retrieving a specific document based on its content, that is, one or more words that appear in it. Content-based retrieval of other media types is an active area of research, and only pilot applications exist. The deficits in handling nontextual documents are especially annoying in a situation where the proportion of classical text (journals, books, and so on) is decreasing. It becomes ever easier to create a digital image, a video, or a 3D object-but our libraries, be it classical public libraries or company internal repositories, are not equipped with the right tools to provide all the services for nonstandard documents that are available for books, journals, or technical spec sheets. This is due to the fact that standard tasks like content categorization, indexing, content representation or summarization have not yet been developed to a stage where DL technology could readily apply it for these types of documents. Instead, these tasks have to be done manually making the activity almost prohibitively expensive. Consequently, one of the pressing research challenges is the development of an adequate vocabulary to characterize the content and structure of nontextual documents as the key to indexing, categorization, abstracting, dissemination, and access. Even more pressing is the demand for having automated categorization at hand-this is true even for those only taking pictures with digital cameras and then just dumping them into folders where we can't find particular pictures later on. As more and more artifacts in the technical and engineering world are digitally born the content categorization, the abstraction, the adequate representation-which, by the way, must coexist with long- term archival demands-is vital to all disciplines. We solicit papers for this special issue that present innovative results and concepts in the domain of 3D documents. Potential topics to be covered include but are not limited to * indexing, * content classification, * domain-specific metadata, * domain-specific phrasing of search terms, * automated markup, * content-based retrieval, * search by similarity / similarity measures, * abstracting (that is, what's the 3D analogy to a thumbnail in 2D), * semantic enrichment, * avoiding the loss of model semantics in the classical graphics process pipelines, * transport (for example, over channels with limited bandwidth), * semantic level of detail, * interaction with 3D documents, * navigation in (distributed) 3D documents, * linking in 3D documents (that is, where and how to attach links), and * long-term storage. Articles should be no more than 10 magazine pages, where a page is 800 words and a quarter page image counts as 200 words. Cite only the 12 most critical references, and consider providing technical background in sidebars for nonexpert readers. Color images can be interspersed through the article and should be limited to a total of 10. Visit CG&A style and length guidelines here. Please submit your article using our online manuscript submission service. When uploading your article, please select the appropriate special issue title under the category Manuscript Type. Also include complete contact information for all authors and coauthors in the submission. If you have any questions about submitting your article, please contact Alkenia Winston.

Call For Participation: SIGGRAPH XSV 2007

by Stefanie Behnke

Dear Collegues, Here is a call for participation to the SIGGRAPH XSV 2007 program. This is quite a new program that was created last year. As an SIGGRAPH'06 XSV, I would like to encourage you and especially your ex-students who are not a student anymore (ie who graduated) to apply, especially exciting for anyone who would rather like a career in academia! This is really a great opportunity for new researchers and I am willing to answer any question (mailto:zabador@cg.tuwien.ac.at) you might have in addition to the great website and FAQ prepared by Janet McAndless, XSV2007 Chair. -------------------------------------------------------------- Subject: SIGGRAPH Ex Student Volunteer Opportunity SIGGRAPH 2007 XSV: Ex-Student Volunteer Mentoring Program Call for Participation Deadline Approaching: 14 November 2006, 11:59pm Eastern time Submission details are online here: http://www.siggraph.org/s2007/volunteers/xsv/ Submission forms are online here: http://www.siggraph.org/s2007/presenters/forms/index.html Call For Participation: Have you served or wanted to serve as a Student Volunteer for SIGGRAPH 2006, 2005, or 2004? Are you finished with school now and no longer qualify for the Student Volunteers Program? If you'd like to stay involved but are not exactly sure how, the XSV program may be right for you. SIGGRAPH 2007 wants to collaborate with you in this second year of a new initiative. We seek a very few recent undergraduate or graduate students who who are interested in SIGGRAPH conference volunteer work. Those interested in ACM SIGGRAPH and starting careers in computer graphics and interactive techniques will be selected for an opportunity to apprentice with a SIGGRAPH 2007 committee or co-located symposium. As an apprentice, you will be assigned to a specific committee and mentored by the respective program/committee chair. With mentored assistance, you will take on appropriate responsibilities within a team of volunteers who work to make the conference a success. If you are selected, your responsibilities may start as early as December 2006 and continue until the conference is over in August 2007 (but not full time, so don't worry too much about that). This initiative promises to be very competitive. Only one position exists for each of the following areas: Art Gallery Computer Animation Festival Emerging Technologies / Emerging Display Technologies Workshop Graphics Hardware 2007 symposium GraphicsNet Panels & Special Sessions Sandbox Video Game Symposium Sketches & Posters NPAR (Symposium on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering) SCA (Symposium on Computer Animation) If you're not familiar with an area above, but it sounds interesting, check the SIGGRAPH 2007 web site or Google the name to gain more information. Interested candidates will not apply directly for the XSV program, but must obtain 3 references to complete their applications (see http://www.siggraph.org/s2007/volunteers/xsv/applying.html for details). Any questions, let me know. Please also forward this announcement to any others who may be interested. Best Regards, Janet McAndless xsv2007(a)siggraph.org SIGGRAPH 2007 XSV Chair
