by Stefanie Behnke

2010 International Conference on Cyberworlds 20-22 October 2010, Singapore http://www3.ntu.edu.sg/SCE/cw2010 Organized by the School of Computer Engineering, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore. Technically Co-Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society. In cooperation with Association for Computing Machinery and Eurographics Association. Supported by the Interactive Digital Media R&D Program Office, Media Development Authority of Singapore. Cyberworlds are information worlds or communities created on cyberspace by collaborating participants either intentionally or spontaneously. As information worlds, they accumulate information regardless whether or not anyone is in, and they can be with or without 2D or 3D visual graphics appearance. The examples of such cyberworlds are communities created in different social networking services, 3D shared virtual environments, and multiplayer online games. Cyberworlds are closely related to the real world and have a serious impact on it. Cyberworlds have been created and applied in such areas as e-business, e-commerce, e-manufacturing, e-learning, e-medicine, and cultural heritage, etc. Cyberworlds augment and sometimes replace the real life and become a significant component of real economy. The international conferences on Cyberworlds have being organized annually since 2002 with the proceedings published by IEEE Computer Society and special issues published in The Visual Computer and other research journals. 10th in the series, CW2010 will consist of paper sessions, tutorials, industrial seminars, exhibitions and hands-on demonstrations where researchers, artists, and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in the field. CW2010 will have several parallel tracks including but not limited to the following topics: Shared virtual worlds; Virtual collaborative spaces; Shape modeling for cyberworlds; Virtual humans and avatars; Intelligent talking agents; Networked collaboration; Haptic interaction and rendering; Computer vision, augmented, mixed and virtual reality; Human-computer interfaces; Cognitive informatics; Brain-computer interfaces; EEG-based emotion recognition; E-learning in virtual collaborative spaces; Multi-user web games; Art and heritage in cyberspace; Cyber-museums; Cyberworlds and their impact on the real worlds; Cyberethics and cyberlaws; Cybersecurity; Data mining and warehousing in cyberworlds; Social networking. CW2010 will also have a special research and industrial track for Singapore Media Development Authority Co-Space projects. Key-note speakers: Tosiyasu L. Kunii Chief Technical Advisor of Morpho, Inc., Japan and Professor Emeritus of The University of Tokyo, Japan. Nadia Thalmann Professor and Director of MIRALab, University of Geneva and Director of the Institute for Media Innovations, NTU, Singapore.

Computational Aesthetics 2010 - Deadline extended until February 26th 2010

by Stefanie Behnke

Apologies for multiple copies. Computational Aesthetics 2010 - London, UK. UPDATE 1 - Deadline extended until February 26th 2010. ***UPDATE 2 - The best papers will be submitted to a special issue of Computers & Graphics.*** 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.
