Expressive 2016 - Call for Papers

by eurographics＠eg.org

Expressive 2016 Call for Papers Date: May 79, 2016 Location: Lisbon, Portugal URL: <http://expressive.graphics/2016/> http://expressive.graphics/2016/ Co-sponsored by: ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics Abstract submission deadline: February 1, 2016 Paper submission deadline: February 7, 2016 Acceptance notification: March 13, 2016 Expressive 2016 is a joint symposium that includes * Computational Aesthetics (CAe), <http://expressive.graphics/2016/CAe/Home> * <http://expressive.graphics/2016/NPAR/Home> Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR), and * <http://expressive.graphics/2016/SBIM/Home> Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modelling (SBIM). The conference will take place in Lisbon, Portugal, May 79, 2016, and it will be co-located with theEurographics 2016 conference. A single registration for Expressive 2016 will include all three symposia. Invited talks and artists talks will be shared among the conferences and sessions will be mixed. The submission, review, and publication process for the event will be handled jointly across the three conferences. Each paper submission should be designated as belonging to one of the three tracks. Computational Aesthetics 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 and inform their design. Refereed CAe papers and artworks aim to facilitate a dialog between scientists and engineers, and also artists and designers. 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. 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, affective or aesthetics based) * sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive) * composition, visual balance, layout * non-photorealistic and illustrative rendering addressing computational aesthetics * empirically based metrics of aesthetic attributes * applied visual perception (color appearance, spatial vision, and other aspects) * measuring and describing aesthetics * 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. Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling 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 input devices, 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 ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, text, mathematics and 3D shapes. Likewise, the symposium explores the application of sketch-based interfaces to 3D computer graphics, animation, CAD and computer games, as well as other specific applications such as diagram editing, note taking and novel input devices. 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. Topic areas for SBIM 2016 include but are not limited to: * Multimodal interfaces for sketching * Novel sketch input and editing 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 Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR) refers to computational techniques for visual communication. Such techniques usually generate imagery and motion which is expressive, rather than photorealistic, although they may incorporate realistic elements. We invite researchers, artists, and practitioners of all areas connected to non-photorealistic animation and rendering to submit papers and posters on their work. Submitted papers should be self-classified into one of the following three categories: * Research: new algorithms, scientific studies, analysis, or data (i.e., traditional NPAR 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). * 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. All work must be previously unpublished and contain a novel contribution. Production and Meta papers need not contain original research or results. Topic areas of NPAR 2016 include, but are not limited to: * Expressive character animation and physics * Abstraction and stylization of images/video * Interaction techniques * Accounts of real productions (e.g., animated films) * NPAR in real software products (e.g., modeling, visualization, presentation software) * Visual composition * Hardware acceleration * Evaluation methods for NPAR algorithms * Psychophysics of NPAR * Rendering and layout for text and presentation graphics * Quantitative analysis of human artists * Generative or evolutionary approaches * Style transfer * Temporal and spatial coherence * Adapting classic CG effects like motion blur, depth of field, and lighting for NPAR * Simulation of natural media and traditional styles * Non-traditional camera models * Position papers on grand challenges Technical Paper Submissions Technical papers should present original, unpublished work. There is no absolute maximum length for paper submissions; please use the <http://s2015.siggraph.org/submitters/technical-papers/publication-requireme nts/> SIGGRAPH length guidelines. In particular, note that papers longer than 810 pages must make a very significant contribution to be accepted. Manuscripts must be written in English, and should follow the <https://www.eg.org/index.php/publications/guidelines#WS_Authors> Eurographics formatting instructions, including a title page with an abstract and keywords, and a bibliography.

CYPRUS UNIVERSITY OF TECHNOLOGY (CUT) DEPARTMENT OF ELECTRICAL and COMPUTER ENGINNERING and INFORMATICS Full Time Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher Position (ESR) in the field of New techniques for data storage and archiving of massive and complex amounts of 2D/3D/4D Cultural assets. Applications are invited from candidates who possess the necessary qualifications in order to fill one (1) full time Marie Curie Early Stage Researcher (ESR) Fellow Position in the Digital Heritage Research Lab of the Cyprus University of Technology (CUT) in the research fields of 2D/3D/4D Digitalization (automated methodologies for 2D and 3D data acquisition: photogrammetry, Laser Scanning, depth camera sensors, SfM etc.), Computer Vision (Image processing, geometric invariant visual features, data-preprocessing/filtering, Pattern recognition), Computer Graphics (modeling), Metadata enrichment for tangible and intangible Cultural Heritage, Big Data and Cloud Computing applications. The selected Marie Curie ESR will work for 19 months within the ITN-Digital Cultural Heritage (ITN-DCH) Marie Curie ITN Programme which, is the only EU funded programme bringing together fourteen (14) leading European Institutions as full partners and nine (9) other as associated partners in a transnational network, aiming at implementing a multidisciplinary and intersectorial research and training programme between the academic and the industrial partners. Description Cultural Heritage (CH) is an integral element of Europe and vital for the creation of a common European identity and one of the greatest assets for steering Europe's social, economic development and job creation. However, the current research training activities in CH are fragmented and mostly designed to be of a single-discipline, failing to cover the whole lifecycle of Digital Cultural Heritage (DCH) research, which is by nature a multi-disciplinary and intersectorial research agenda. ITN-DCH brings for the first time worldwide top Universities, research centers, industries and CH stakeholders, end-users and standardized bodies together to collaborate in order to train the next generation of researchers in DCH. The project aims to analyze, design, research, develop and validate an innovative multi-disciplinary and intersectoral research training framework that covers the whole lifecycle of digital CH research for cost- effective preservation, documentation, protection and presentation of CH. ITN-DCH targets innovations that cover all aspects of CH ranging from tangible (books, newspapers, images, drawings, manuscripts, uniforms, maps, artifacts, archaeological sites, monuments) to intangible content (e.g., music, performing arts, folklore, theatrical performances) and their inter-relationships. The project also aims to boost the added value of CH assets by re-using them in real application environments (protection of CH, education, tourism industry, advertising, fashion, films, music, publishing, video games and TV) through research on (i) new personalized, interactive, mixed and augmented reality enabled e- services, (ii) new recommendations in data acquisition, (iii) new forms of representations (3D/4D) of both tangible /intangible assets and (iv) interoperable metadata forms that allow easy data exchange and archiving. One ESR will be recruited by the host organization of the Cyprus University of Technology.
