Notification of paper acceptance: 22 May 2012 . Camera-ready SAP papers due and TAP revisions due for second review cycle : 29 May 2012 . Final TAP papers due: 15 June 2012 . Poster submissions: 29 May 2012 . Notification of poster acceptance: 5 June 2012 . Final posters due: 12 July 2012 The ACM Symposium on Applied Perception (ACM SAP), formerly known as APGV, aims to further the development of inter-disciplinary research that crosses the boundaries between perception and disciplines such as graphics, visualization, vision, haptics and acoustics. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas and the scope includes applications and algorithms in any area of research that incorporates elements of perception and computer science. Our ninth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. By co-locating ACM SAP 2012 with the thirty-ninth annual SIGGRAPH conference (SIGGRAPH 2012) in Los Angeles, we aim to further promote communication between the core perception and the core computer graphics communities, and also bring back the symposium in its new form to the United States. The symposium will be hosted by the USC Institute for Creative Technologies. Relevant topics include: . Modeling, rendering, and animation . Visualization . Computational aesthetics . Haptic rendering, haptic input and perception . Computer vision . Color vision and color appearance modeling . Interaction techniques and interfaces . Augmented reality . Virtual worlds . Display technologies . Auditory display and interfaces . Perceptual auditory coding . Spatialized sound . Speech synthesis and recognition . Sensory integration . Multimodal rendering . Spatial and temporal vision . Empirical perception research . Attention and eye movements . Statistical learning and perception of natural scenes . Perception of shapes, surfaces and materials PAPERS Research can be submitted as a long paper (up to 8 pages and a 20 minute talk), a short paper (up to 4 pages + 15 min talk), or as a poster presentation (1 page abstract). Papers that are not accepted can be considered for the poster session. Authors of posters accepted by this route will of course have the option to decline the opportunity to present a poster. Please check the formatting guidelines on the webpage before submitting your work on this page. Submissions do not need to be anonymous. All papers will be carefully reviewed by our International Program Committee. Under a recent agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and the ACM Publications Board, the strongest accepted papers will be offered the possibility to be published as full papers at the ACM journal TAP. These papers will undergo a second review cycle, during which the authors will need to improve the paper as indicated by the summary review (similar to conditionally accepts at SIGGRAPH). Authors of such special issue papers must agree to present the paper at ACM SAP. As has always been the case, authors of regular ACM SAP papers can still submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate additions.

EuroVA 2012 - Call for Posters Submission Deadline: April 22nd, 2012 The EuroVA 2012 Poster Program offers a timely venue to present and discuss new visual analytics research and research projects with a clear visual analytics aspects. The poster track provides an interaction opportunity for researchers and practitioners to present and demonstrate their new and innovative work-in-progress and to obtain feedback from their peers in an informal setting. It gives conference attendees a forum where they can learn about novel research and about on-going research projects. The poster track provides poster presenters with an excellent opportunity to receive invaluable feedback from knowledgeable sources. In addition to a poster being displayed throughout the EuroVA and EuroVis, a one-page summary of your work will be published in the EuroVA Proceedings. We particularly encourage contributions that take advantage of the nature of the poster space and forum to present and raise awareness of the research work and research projects in effective and imaginative ways. We therefore foresee three kinds of posters: - Research Posters - posters representing on-going research that might not yet be complete, but whose preliminary results are already interesting; - Case-Study Posters - posters describing on-going or recently finished case studies in all application areas; - Project Dissemination Posters - posters representing on-going or recently finished national or international research projects with a clear visual analytics aspect. It is important that visual analytics represent an important aspect of the project. Posters will be reviewed by members of the Program Committee based on originality, significance, quality, and clarity. INFORMATION FOR AUTHORS Poster authors must submit a one-page summary of their work in the EuroVA format. Summaries should include a concise description of the idea, the results or findings, supporting imagery and figures, and a discussion of the implications of the work to the selected domain. Full literature searches are not expected, although relevant citations should be included. Project Dissemination Posters should briefly describe the research project with a strong focus on the visual analytics aspects. The posters themselves have no predefined formatting, but dimensions may not exceed A0 paper size (841mm x 1189mm / 33.1" x 46.8"). Authors whose posters are accepted for the EuroVA will be asked to refine their summaries based upon feedback from reviewers. Posters will be included in the EuroVA proceedings. The poster itself only needs to be prepared for the EuroVA. Authors of accepted posters are required to bring an explanatory hardcopy poster for display during EuroVA and EuroVis. They should be available at the poster to discuss their work during the scheduled poster session. SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS Authors should send their poster through email to the workshop chairs: <mailto:santucci@dis.uniroma1.it> santucci(a)dis.uniroma1.it <mailto:matkovic@vrvis.at> matkovic(a)vrvis.at specifying in the subject "EuroVA Poster : <type>" where <type> is one of the following values: "Research", "Case-Study", "Project" IMPORTANT DATES Submission Deadline: April 22nd, 2012 Notification: April 25th, 2012 Final Submission of Camera Ready Summaries: April 27th, 2012 ************************************************************************* -- Dr. Kresimir Matkovic, Senior Researcher, Visualization VRVis Forschungs-GmbH, <http://www.VRVis.at> www.VRVis.at FN: 195369h, HG Wien mail: matkovic(a)vrvis.at, tel +43(0)1 20501 30100
