Computational Aesthetics 2010: Call for papers

by Stefanie Behnke

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 computational tools for artists Technical Paper Submissions Technical papers should present original, unpublished work.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), and should be no longer than 8 pages. For all Submissions see: http://graphics.uni-konstanz.de/cae2010/ You can start a new submission at the EG submission site: http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_CAE10/ Accepted technical and art papers will be presented at the symposium, and appear in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published and printed in the Eurographics Workshop and Symposia Series, and will appear in the Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries. Important Dates Submission deadline: February 12, 2010 Acceptance notification: March 12, 2010 Camera-ready deadline: April 1, 2009 Conference Dates: June 14 - 16th, 2010 Further Information a.. http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/ b.. e-mail: pjepp(a)vimmi.inesc-id.pt and info(a)computational-aesthetics.org

Eurographics 2010 Area Papers: Submission deadline has been extended by 7 days

by Stefanie Behnke

Eurographics 2010 Area Papers In 2010, Eurographics will have a special focus on Mobile Visual Computing and Dome Displays (http://www.eurographics2010.se/calls/area_papers/) which will have paper sessions and other events within the conference devoted to them. With Mobile Visual Computing we understand any aspects of computing images for display on handheld devices, including software or hardware techniques from graphics, vision and image processing, user interfaces and interaction. Domed displays, with real-time computing, are becoming a much more widely used approach to immersive computer graphics. The number of such sites is increasingly rapidly and the technology and applications must advance to meet the new challenges and opportunities which these systems provide. A new domed display environment will be commissioned in Norrköping immediately prior to the Eurographics conference, just minutes away from the conference centre. It is intended that the dome will be used to host the dome areas events and papers, and will provide an excellent environment for authors and exhibitors to demonstrate new ideas for domed environments. List of Topics Suggested topics in the two areas are listed below but submissions are not limited to just these topics, simply to the defined areas. Mobile Visual Computing: a.. Mobile graphics algorithms b.. Mobile graphics applications c.. Mobile graphics hardware d.. Graphical user interfaces for mobile devices e.. Visualization on handheld devices f.. Handheld displays g.. Mobile augmented reality h.. Mobile computational photography i.. User studies, human factors, evaluation of interaction techniques Domed Displays: a.. Projection systems and technologies b.. Audio environment technologies and methods c.. Interaction systems for small and large audiences d.. Software development platforms e.. Mixed media dome shows f.. Combining live performance in dome environments g.. Dome special effects h.. Applications: practical, education and entertainment Accepted papers will be presented at Eurographics 2010 as an oral presentation, and will be published in the Areas Papers proceedings and included in the conference digital media. Authors are invited to submit both normal research papers, as well as contributions that might be difficult to position as a regular or a short paper because they are too much oriented towards the application or address emergent, yet preliminary ideas on the future of Mobile Visual Computing and Dome Displays. The submission deadline for areas papers is December 11, 2009. For any question concerning areas papers submissions please contact the areas programme co-chairs: areas(a)eurographics2010.se Submission Details Submitted areas papers should be formatted according to the Eurographics Areas publication style. For submission purposes, you should submit a paper of up to 8 pages in length, or four pages for a short paper, according to the submission guidelines. Anonymous submissions will be made electronically through the Eurographics online submission system. Please indicate the area to which your work is submitted.

10th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS: CFP

by Stefanie Behnke

10th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS http://www.smartgraphics.org/ June 24-26, 2010 Banff, Canada Submission deadline February 14, 2010 Graphics become Smart Graphics when their design and implementation are grounded in an understanding of human abilities, activities, and motivations from design experience and the broad spectrum of cognitive and social sciences. When knowledge from these diverse fields is combined with new methods, tools and techniques in AI, HCI, artistic practice and computer graphics, environments are created that: (1) engage the user and are aesthetically satisfying; (2) participate in human cognition as external or distributed representations; (3) are sensitive to the real-time demands of the interaction in the context of the available informational and computational resources; (4) adapt the form of the output according to a wider set of constraints such as an individual's perceptual, attentive, and motor abilities and the nature of the presentation media and available interaction devices. The International Symposium on Smart Graphics aims at gathering people from the fields of Cognitive Science, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Interactive Art and Graphics Design to share experiences and experiments in this new and emerging area of study. *** Come and Join the Smart Graphics Experience *** Smart Graphics 2010 welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners, as well as artists and graphic designers interested in an interdisciplinary approach to the design of smart interactive displays. In 2010, we propose a specific emphasis on the integration of scientific research and digital media technology into the design of aesthetic experience and artistic practice. In particular, we encourage discussion of research that locates the site of an interactive experience within the everyday world, using smart graphics, technologies, and responsive media to enrich and augment the public, private and personal spaces in which we live our lives. Submission categories are divided into: * Full research papers: these will encompass comprehensive descriptions of original work within the scope of the symposium (limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format). * Posters: tentative or preliminary results of research or design work with emphasis on the interdisciplinary evaluation of the ideas (limited to 4 pages in Springer LNCS format). Poster papers will be included in the proceedings. * System demonstrations: short descriptions of research or design work that the authors intend to show and discuss in a demo session at the symposium (limited to 2 pages in Springer LNCS format). System demonstration papers will be included in the proceedings. * Arts track: computer animations, multimedia performance, interactive art, digital music, hybrid art, etc. Artists must submit a two to three page proposal outlining the concept and technique of the artwork, including a discussion of the relationship between smart technologies and their artistic and creative practice. An international jury of renowned scientists and artists will select the submissions that best represent the idea of <<Smart Graphics Arts>>. Selected works will be displayed during the Smart Graphics symposium, and presented to the public via an evening of performance, installation, and gallery exhibition. A report of the arts track including all the selected works will be included in the proceedings. Smart Graphics specially encourages young researchers to submit their ideas and results. As in previous conferences, proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): * computer graphics * artificial intelligence * virtual and mixed reality * interactive media * user interaction * digital art * information visualization * visual analytics * multimodal information presentation * non-desktop interfaces * graphical abstraction * sketch-based interfaces * interaction science * scene perception * cognitive sciences * user studies * graphics design INVITED SPEAKERS: * John Bowers (Goldsmiths, University of London) * Maria Lantin (Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design) IMPORTANT DATES: February 14th, 2010 (submission deadline) March 8th, 2010 (notification of results) March 20th, 2010 (camera ready copy due) June 24-26, 2010 (Symposium in Banff, Canada) ORGANIZERS: Robyn Taylor (University of Alberta, Canada) Pierre Boulanger (University of Alberta, Canada) Andreas Butz (University of Munich, Germany) Marc Christie (IRISA/INRIA Rennes, France) Brian Fisher (Simon Fraser University, Canada) Antonio Krueger (German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence, Germany) Patrick Olivier (Newcastle University, UK) COMMITTEE (tentative): * Elisabeth Andre (University of Augsburg) * William Bares (Millsaps College) * Marc Cavazza (University of Teesside) * Luca Chittaro (University of Udine) * Sara Diamond (Ontario College of Art and Design) * Steven Feiner (Columbia University) * David S.

Call for Paper Smartgraphics 2010

by Stefanie Behnke

10th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS http://www.smartgraphics.org/ June 24-26, 2010 Banff, Canada Submission deadline February 14, 2010 Graphics become Smart Graphics when their design and implementation are grounded in an understanding of human abilities, activities, and motivations from design experience and the broad spectrum of cognitive and social sciences. When knowledge from these diverse fields is combined with new methods, tools and techniques in AI, HCI, artistic practice and computer graphics, environments are created that: (1) engage the user and are aesthetically satisfying; (2) participate in human cognition as external or distributed representations; (3) are sensitive to the real-time demands of the interaction in the context of the available informational and computational resources; (4) adapt the form of the output according to a wider set of constraints such as an individual's perceptual, attentive, and motor abilities and the nature of the presentation media and available interaction devices. The International Symposium on Smart Graphics aims at gathering people from the fields of Cognitive Science, Computer Graphics, Artificial Intelligence, Interactive Art and Graphics Design to share experiences and experiments in this new and emerging area of study. *** Come and Join the Smart Graphics Experience *** Smart Graphics 2010 welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners, as well as artists and graphic designers interested in an interdisciplinary approach to the design of smart interactive displays. In 2010, we propose a specific emphasis on the integration of scientific research and digital media technology into the design of aesthetic experience and artistic practice. In particular, we encourage discussion of research that locates the site of an interactive experience within the everyday world, using smart graphics, technologies, and responsive media to enrich and augment the public, private and personal spaces in which we live our lives. Submission categories are divided into: * Full research papers: these will encompass comprehensive descriptions of original work within the scope of the symposium (limited to 12 pages in Springer LNCS format). * Posters: tentative or preliminary results of research or design work with emphasis on the interdisciplinary evaluation of the ideas (limited to 4 pages in Springer LNCS format). Poster papers will be included in the proceedings. * System demonstrations: short descriptions of research or design work that the authors intend to show and discuss in a demo session at the symposium (limited to 2 pages in Springer LNCS format). System demonstration papers will be included in the proceedings. * Arts track: computer animations, multimedia performance, interactive art, digital music, hybrid art, etc. Artists must submit a two to three page proposal outlining the concept and technique of the artwork, including a discussion of the relationship between smart technologies and their artistic and creative practice. An international jury of renowned scientists and artists will select the submissions that best represent the idea of <<Smart Graphics Arts>>. Selected works will be displayed during the Smart Graphics symposium, and presented to the public via an evening of performance, installation, and gallery exhibition. A report of the arts track including all the selected works will be included in the proceedings. Smart Graphics specially encourages young researchers to submit their ideas and results. As in previous conferences, proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Note in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to): * computer graphics * artificial intelligence * virtual and mixed reality * interactive media * user interaction * digital art * information visualization * visual analytics * multimodal information presentation * non-desktop interfaces * graphical abstraction * sketch-based interfaces * interaction science * scene perception * cognitive sciences * user studies * graphics design INVITED SPEAKER: * John Bowers (Goldsmiths, University of London) * Maria Lantin (Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design) IMPORTANT DATES: February 14th, 2010 (submission deadline) March 8th, 2010 (notification of results) March 20th, 2010 (camera ready copy due) June 24-26, 2010 (Symposium in Banff, Canada) ORGANIZERS: Robyn Taylor (University of Alberta, Canada) Pierre Boulanger (University of Alberta, Canada) Andreas Butz (University of Munich, Germany) Marc Christie (IRISA/INRIA Rennes, France) Brian Fisher (Simon Fraser University, Canada) Antonio Krueger (University of Muenster, Germany) Patrick Olivier (Newcastle University, UK) COMMITTEE (tentative): * Elisabeth Andre (University of Augsburg) * William Bares (Millsaps College) * Marc Cavazza (University of Teesside) * Luca Chittaro (University of Udine) * Sara Diamond (Ontario College of Art and Design) * Steven Feiner (Columbia University) * David S. Ebert (Purdue University) * Knut Hartmann (Flensburg University of Applied Science) * Hiroshi Hosobe (Tokyo National Institute of Informatics) * Christian Jacquemin (LIMSI/CNRS) * Tsvi Kuflik (University of Haifa) * Rainer Malaka (European Media Lab) * Shigeru Owada (Sony CSL) * W. Bradford Paley (Digital Image Design) * Bernhard Preim (University of Magdeburg) * Thomas Rist (University of Applied Sciences, Augsburg) * Mateu Sbert (University of Girona) * Shigeo Takahashi (University of Tokyo) * Lucia Terrenghi (University of Munich) * Massimo Zancanaro (ITC-irst Trento) Smart Graphics will be held in cooperation with: * Association for Computing Machinery Special Interest Group on Artificial Intelligence (ACM SIGART) * European Association for Computer Graphics (Eurographics) * Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence (AAAI).
