Computational Aesthetics 2010
Call for papers
Computational Aesthetics 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 behaviours. 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 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.
Invited talks will be given by technical, theoretical and artistic/design
figures. The talks will help participants better understand what aesthetics
is, what computer technology is currently capable of and, equally, to fully
appreciate what is involved in artistic design and creative process.
Refereed papers and artworks will be presented in a single track program
that aims to facilitate a dialogue between scientists and engineers who are
creating new tools, and also artists and designers who use them.
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:
a.. computational analysis and modelling of creative behaviour (AI,
A-life);
b.. artistic image transformation techniques (colours, edges, patterns,
dithering);
c.. image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others);
d.. visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based);
e.. sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive);
f.. composition, visual balance, layout;
g.. non-photorealistic rendering;
h.. empirically based metrics of aesthetical attributes; and
i.. applied visual perception (colour appearance, spatial vision, and
other aspects).
j.. measuring and describing aesthetics and
k.. computational tools for artists
Technical Paper Submissions
Technical papers should present original, unpublished work. The manuscripts
must be written in English, must be formatted according to the EG
publication guidelines (see the submission site for the LaTeX templates),

Aims and Scope of the Symposium
-------------------------------
The importance of parallel computing is again increasing rapidly with the
ubiquitous availability of multi-core CPUs, many-pipe GPUs as well as
cluster systems. Computationally demanding disciplines such as realistic 3D
computer graphics and high-performance scientific visualization are strongly
affected by this trend and require novel efficient parallel graphics and
visualization solutions.
Building on the success of previous EGPGV symposia, we happily announce the
10th Eurographics Symposium on Parallel Graphics and Visualization. EGPGV is
the premier international event focusing on parallel graphics and
visualization technology, where novel solutions exploiting and defining new
trends in parallel hardware and software architectures are presented. The
aim of the symposium is to strongly encourage exchange of experiences and
knowledge in parallel and distributed visual computing and its application
to all aspects of computer graphics and data visualization.
All papers, research or case-studies, should have a direct relation to some
aspect of parallelism in graphics or visualization such as multi-core
computing, multi-pipe GPU rendering/computing, distributed systems, clusters
or grid environments.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Photo-realistic rendering
- Volume rendering
- Large data set visualization
- GPGPU applications
- Simulations for interactive applications
- Cluster based graphics and visualization systems
- Large and high resolution displays
- Efficient graphics and visualization methods
- Out of core rendering from/for multiple resources
- Parallel visual computing
- Large scale simulations and graphics rendering
- Visualization and graphics for scientific, engineering and commercial
applications
- Graphics and visualization in Grid environments
- Multimodal applications
- Scheduling, memory management and data coherence
The EGPGV Symposium is co-located with the EUROGRAPHICS Annual Conference,
which will take place May 3-7, 2010.

Computational Aesthetics 2010
Call for Posters
Computational Aesthetics 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 behaviours. 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 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.
Invited talks will be given by technical, theoretical and
artistic/design figures. The talks will help participants better
understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is currently
capable of and, equally, to fully appreciate what is involved in
artistic design and creative process.
Poster submissions are an opportunity to present and discuss work in
progress without publication. Technical, artistic and posters that mix
the two are all welcome. Suggested topics cover similar ground to the
technical papers, but are not limited to it. Examples include
a.. computational analysis and modelling of creative behaviour (AI,
A-life);
b.. artistic image transformation techniques (colours, edges,
patterns, dithering);
c.. image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others);
d.. visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based);
e.. sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive);
f.. composition, visual balance, layout;
g.. non-photorealistic rendering;
h.. empirically based metrics of aesthetical attributes; and
i.. applied visual perception (colour appearance, spatial vision, and
other aspects).
j.. measuring and describing aesthetics and
k.. computational tools for artists
Submission
Posters will be of up to size A0. Poster authors should submit an extended
abstract or a description to accompany their work; no more than 2 sides of
A4 in length. The style files for standard papers should be used. Accepted
abstracts (descriptions) will be included as part of the electronic
conference proceedings, but will not be included in in the paper proceedings
so will not be formally published. The work should submitted directly to the
posters chair:
pmh(a)cs.bath.ac.uk,
in PDF format.
