Expressive 2017 ? Call for Submissions

by eurographics＠eg.org

Expressive 2017: The Joint Symposium on Computational Aesthetics (CAe), Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) and Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) A single registration for Expressive 2017 includes all three tracks (CAe, NPAR and SBIM) Dates: July 29--30, 2017 Location: Los Angeles, California (co-located with Siggraph 2017) URL: <https://expressivesymposium.com/> https://expressivesymposium.com Expressive fuses three symposia centered on expressive aspects of computer graphics. Computational Aesthetics (CAe) integrates the bridging aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine, applied & performing arts. CAe investigates both tools to enhance the expressiveness of fine and applied arts, as well as theoretical approaches that further our understanding of aesthetic evaluation, perception and meaning. Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) investigates computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually focuses on imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM) focuses on the exploration of models, algorithms, and technologies for efficient sketch-based interfaces. It investigates the classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, text, mathematics or 3D shapes. Each paper submission should be designated by the authors as belonging to at least one of the three tracks. Paper submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Expressive. We welcome papers in several categories: ● Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional academic papers). These must contain novel results that make a substantive 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). We are equally interested in papers on the use of existing techniques combined in novel ways, or applying them in a new or unusual context. ● 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. We welcome papers that discuss the challenges of bridging computational expression across disciplines. Topics include, but are not limited to: ● Analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life) ● Simulation of natural media, traditional styles, and novel artistic styles ● Analysis of image style and saliency (paintings, photographs, others) ● Visualization techniques ● Simplification and abstraction techniques (e.g. sketching, indication) ● Empirically-based metrics of aesthetic attributes ● Applied visual perception ● Interaction techniques (e.g. sketch, gestural, multi-touch, multi-modal) ● Sketch-parsing, classification and recognition ● Novel interfaces for art creation, modeling, control, sketch input, etc. ● Study designs and methodologies for evaluating and validating sketch-based systems, aesthetic metrics, visual communication systems, etc. ● Advanced rendering techniques (e.g. volumetric, GPU, mobile, multi-modal) ● Applications in special domains: Medicine, Geology, Biology, Sociology, etc. ● Sketch-based information retrieval ● Stylistic or aesthetic aspects of character animation and simulated physics ● Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films, digital art) or applications in software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) ● Visual composition ● Design, rendering, and evaluation of layouts for text and presentation graphics ● Style transfer ● Temporal and spatial coherence ● Aesthetic evaluation and stylistic rendering of visual effects such as motion blur, depth of field, and lighting ● Non-traditional camera models Paper Submissions All work must be previously unpublished. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results, but must make a substantive contribution to the knowledge in the field. Papers should be 8--10 pages in length (excluding citations).

Extended deadline (Feb 28): Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017)

by eurographics＠eg.org

Call for Papers: Eurographics Workshop on Intelligent Cinematography and Film Editing (WICED'2017). <http://wiced.inria.fr/> http://wiced.inria.fr/ NEW EXTENDED DEADLINE: February 28. NEW TRACK for INVITED TALKS: Send one page abstract. The expressive use of virtual cameras, mise-en-scene, lighting and editing (montage) within 3D synthetic environment shows great promise to extend the communicative power of film and video into the artificial environments of interactive games and virtual worlds. At the same time, recent advances in computer vision-based object, actor and action recognition make it possible to envision novel re-cinematography (re-lighting, re-framing) and automatic editing of live-action video. The workshop series is intended to bridge the gap between the two areas and confront research being performed in both domains. One common area of active research is the representation and understanding of the story to be told and its relation to its communicative goals. Another area is the extension of traditional film grammar towards more immersive and interactive experiences, and the emergence of virtual reality and augmented reality movie making. This one-day workshop aims to bring together researchers and industrial experts working in all aspects of digital cinematography and film editing in their respective fields, including 3D graphics, artificial intelligence, computer vision, visualization, interactive narrative, cognitive and perceptual psychology, computational linguistics, computational aesthetics and visual effects. Drawing upon cutting edge research and technologies regarding both the production and comprehension of cinematographic art-work, the workshop seeks to offer a glimpse of the future of cinematography and film editing, as well as a forum for discussion of outstanding research issues. The 6th edition of the workshop will take place at Villa Lumiere, 25 rue du Premier Film, in Lyon, France on April 24, 2017, immediately before Eurographics 2017. The workshop will include a visit of the Lumiere Museum, which honours the contribution to filmmaking by Auguste and Louis Lumière - inventors of the cinématographe and fathers of the cinema. ========== Submission ========== Researchers should submit one of: Regular paper (max 8 pages) reporting new work or new ideas in a relevant research area. Short paper (max 4 pages) describing work in progress or a vision of the near term future of intelligent cinematography. NEW:Invited paper (1 page abstract) reporting relevant work already published in other venues. Submission information will be updated on the workshop site <http://wiced.inria.fr/> http://wiced.inria.fr/ Proceedings of the workshop will be published by EG Publishing in the EG Digital Library. ================= Topics of interest ================= Camera path planning and visibility Interactive and automatic camera control Automatic video editing Movie pre-vizualization Game cinematics, cinematic replays, and machinima Virtual reality and augmented reality movie making Immersive and interactive cinema Natural user interfaces for cinematography and editing Expressive performance of virtual characters Cognitive models of film perception Automatic video analysis of movies Re-cinematography, re-lighting and re-framing Computer-assisted multi-camera production Evaluation methodologies and user experience Analysis of film style =============== Important Dates =============== Paper submission (EXTENDED DEADLINE): February 28, 2017. Notification to authors: March 17, 2017. Camera-ready deadline: March 24, 2017. Workshop held: April 24, 2017. ==================== Organizing committee ==================== The international workshop series is supervised by a steering committee composed of Magy Seif El-Nasr (Northeastern University), R. Michael Young (NC State University), Joseph Magliano (Northern Illinois University), Paolo Burelli (Aalborg University Copenhagen), Arnav Jhala (UC Santa Cruz), and Remi Ronfard (Inria Grenoble).

**Spring Conference on Computer Graphics 2017- Deadline Extended to March 1**

by eurographics＠eg.org

Spring Conference on Computer Graphics is the oldest annual meeting of computer graphics researchers in Central Europe with 33 years of tradition. It is a highly successful venue for sharing ideas and research results among computer graphics researchers and practitioners from Europe and around the world. The philosophy of SCCG is to put together top experts with young researchers and to support a good communication channel for East-West exchange of prospective ideas. We invite the authors to submit their original scientific papers to the conference. The conference topics include: rendering, modeling, animation, image processing, vision, visualization, interaction, digital fabrication, and virtual reality. All submission will be made through the new PCS conference management system (new.precisionconference.com). After the first review round the international program committee will nominate the papers adhering to high quality standards for a publication in a special issue of Elseviers Computers and Graphics journal. The second review cycle for these papers will be handled through the Elsevier editorial system. The remaining accepted papers will be published in the conference proceedings that will be part of the ACM Digital Library. We also welcome posters covering your recent research work, late-breaking technical results, and work in progress. The posters will be part of posters proceedings. **Keynote speakers** Niloy Mitra (University College London) Kwan-Liu Ma (University of California at Davis) Daniel Sykora (Czech Technical University in Prague) **Important dates for papers** Paper submission: **March 1, 2017(extended deadline)** First decision: April 5, 2017 Revised version due: April 19, 2017 Final decision: April 26, 2017 Camera ready: May 3, 2017 **Important dates for posters** Poster submission: April 12, 2017 Notification of acceptance: April 19, 2017 **Conference Info** Date: May 15-17, 2017 Conference chair: Pavel Zemcik Program chairs: Jiri Bittner, Ivan Viola Poster chair: Vítezslav Beran Organization Co-chairs: Vítezslav Beran, Andrej Ferko Elsevier C&G: Joaquim Jorge Location: hotel Galant, Mikulov, Czech Republic (about 100 km from Vienna airport) Web site: <http://www.sccg.sk> http://www.sccg.sk **Organizers** Faculty of Information Technology, Brno University of Technology, Brno, Czech Republic The Faculty of Mathematics, Physics and Informatics, Comenius University, Bratislava, Slovakia The Slovak Society for Computer Science In cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH and EUROGRAPHICS.

New PhD Student Position in Machine Learning for Fluid Simulation

by eurographics＠eg.org

New PhD Student Position in Machine Learning for Fluid Simulation Within the scope of the Doctoral Programme ("Doktoratskolleg") Computational Interdisciplinary Modelling (DK-CIM) of the University of Innsbruck, the Interactive Graphics and Simulation Group and the Unit of Environmental Engineering invite applications for the position of a PhD student, focusing on the acceleration of solvers for Navier-Stokes equations via machine learning techniques. We are seeking a motivated and talented PhD student with interest and skill in physically-based simulation, fluid simulation, data-driven approaches, and/or machine learning techniques. The main focus will be on the development of data-driven machine learning methods for accelerating computations in physically-based simulations. The main application domain will be the simulation of fluids in environmental engineering scenarios such as flows in hydraulic networks and structures as well as surface flows. Of special interest will be (particle based) semi-Lagrangian solutions, fluid-solid boundaries, mesh adaptivity, as well as learning correction methods. A further target will be the tracking and characterizing of the simulation error, also via machine learning. The work will be jointly supervised by Prof. Wolfgang Rauch, head of the Unit of Environmental Engineering and Prof. Matthias Harders, head of the Interactive Graphics and Simulation Group. Candidates should have earned a Master or Diploma degree in either Computer Science, Environmental Engineering, Physics, Applied Mathematics or other related fields. Good knowledge in physically-based simulation is expected. In addition, some experience with machine learning methods is of advantage. Further, knowledge of domain-specific applied fluid simulation is also a plus. Experience and knowledge in C/C++ programming is expected, as well as a good level in English, both written and spoken. The position is open immediately until filled. It is offered on the level of a nonpermanent university research student for three years at a 75% rate (i.e. 30 hours per week). Successful candidates will become employees of the University of Innsbruck with full social security coverage under Austrian national law. The gross salary for the position will be about 2.048,30 EUR/month (14x). PhD level studies will be carried out according to DK-CIM regulations. Note that a final doctoral degree would be possible either in Computer Science or in Engineering. The Doctoral Programme is committed to increasing the percentage of female employees in science and therefore explicitly invites women to apply. Candidates should send electronically in PDF format an application with complete CV, grades and transcripts, relevant certificates, and URLs to relevant prior publications via email to the Research Area Scientific Computing (scientificcomputing(a)uibk.ac.at). https://www.uibk.ac.at/dk-cim/students-neu/students-info.html.en For further questions, please get in touch with: Prof. Dr. Matthias Harders Interactive Graphics and Simulation Group Department of Computer Science University of Innsbruck Austria matthias.harders(a)uibk.ac.at http://igs.uibk.ac.at/
