------------------------------------------------------------
-Towards a "digital agenda" for the integration of technologies into
Archaeology and Cultural Heritage-
Nearly every organization whose mission includes promoting access to
cultural information, is well aware of the value of digital
applications, and digital technologies are finding their way into
cultural organizations. Nevertheless, a clear-cut division still exists
between humanities researchers, computer science researchers,
information scientists, librarians, and campus technologists, which
prevents a complete achievement of the potential represented by the
integration of these disciplines. Each community has distinctive
practices, lingo, assumptions, and concerns.
Understanding technology needs of the humanities, and more specifically
of Archaeology, Libraries and Cultural Heritage, has particular
relevance to the future of knowledge and education delivery, as well as,
to develop shared technology services to enhance humanities research now
and in the future. The main goal of this VAST is to bring together
professionals from all fields to start a true dialogue on CH needs and
ICT solutions and achieve a true integration of disciplines. This VAST
aims at disseminating the idea of a more systematic integration of
digital practices in research and education programs for CH, exploring
good practices, guidelines and skills development possibilities to
structure long-term initiatives and move towards a "digital agenda" for
Archaeology, Libraries and CH. This is why we are seeking contributions
that advance the state of the art in the technologies available to
support sustainability of human heritage.
- 2/3/4D Data Capture and Processing in CH
- Augmentation of physical collections with digital presentations
- Data Acquisition Technologies
- Digital Libraries
- Digital capture and annotation of intangible heritage (performance,
audio, dance, oral)
- Interactive Environments and Applications for CH
- Long term preservation of digital artefacts
- Metadata, classification schema, ontologies and semantic processing
- Multilingual applications, tools and systems for CH
- Multimedia Data Acquisition, Management and Archiving
- Multi-modal interfaces and rendering for CH
- On-site and remotely sensed data collection
- Professional and Ethical Guidelines
- Serious games in CH
- Standards and Documentation
- Storytelling and Design of Heritage Communications
- Tools for Education and Training in CH
- Usability, Effectiveness and Interface Design for CH Applications
- Visualization
- KEYNOTE SPEAKERS -
Archaeology: Dr Zahi Hawass - General Secretary of the Supreme Council
of Antiquities of Egypt
Museums: Mme. Christiane Naffah - Director of the Research and
Restoration Center for France Museums
- BEST PAPERS AWARD -
The best papers presented at VAST 2009 will be selected for
re-submission on a special edition of the upcoming ACM Journal on
Computing and Cultural Heritage (JOCCH), an online, peer reviewed
publication.
**** - UPDATED - (NEW!) VAST-STARs - ****
VAST 2009 introduces the "VAST-STate-of-the-Art Reports (VAST-STARs)",
inspired by the EG STARs. These are papers providing useful novel
overviews of research in the fields of computer graphics, computer
science and related fields that can benefit the multidisciplinary
nature of VAST. They are survey papers in what the community considers
important areas that have not been covered before or recently. Their aim
is to give a detailed account of the principles, algorithms and open
problems of a research area, so that an interested reader can quickly
come up to speed in this field. We warmly encourage all colleagues to
submit to the VAST-STARs reports. Two VAST-STARs will be selected by
peer review and will be published in the local proceedings together with
the short/project papers. The VAST-STARs are also eligible for the best
papers award. VAST-STARs authors will present their work with a 60
minute presentation during VAST 2009. We are also happy to announce that
the chosen VAST-STARs will be invited to the Springer journal Virtual
Reality. ****

SYMPOSIUM ON APPLIED PERCEPTION IN GRAPHICS AND VISUALIZATION (APGV)
September 30 - October 2 2009
Chania, Crete, Greece
The Symposium for Applied Perception in Graphics and Visualization
APGV unites researchers in the fields of perception, graphics, and
visualization. These fields can benefit from the exchange of ideas ---
in particular research in computer graphics and visualization can
benefit from and contribute to research in perception.
Our sixth annual event provides an intimate, immersive forum for
exchanging ideas about areas of overlapping interests. For example,
one of the impressive achievements of our visual system is the
recovery of 3D structure from motion; computer graphics and animation
algorithms may provide controls and insights into how this mechanism
works. Likewise, determining how to make animated simulations of
characters that are undetectable from real humans may rely on insights
and research from perception.
We invite submissions of original work in the areas described above
that broadly meet two goals of our community:
Goal 1. Use insights from perception to advance the design of methods
for visual, auditory and haptic representation. Examples would
include:
* applications of insights from perception to the development of
algorithms for more efficient, effective, or realistic modeling,
rendering, and animation
* applications of perception in the design and evaluation of
methods for more effective representation and communication of
data
* computational aesthetics, stylization, and perceptual aspects of
non-photorealistic rendering
* perceptual issues arising due to fusion of digital imaging,
computer vision, and computer graphics techniques
* perception-inspired interfaces for immersive activities in
virtual worlds
Goal 2. Advance and facilitate novel basic perception and cognition
research that uses and is relevant to applications in computer
graphics and visualization. Examples would include:
* perception and visuomotor control in computer games, virtual and
augmented environments
* fundamental contributions in spatial and temporal vision
* integration of empirical perception research with computational
models
* color vision and color appearance modeling
* the influence of attention and eye movements on visual
perception and visual memory
* statistical learning and perception of natural scenes
* perception of shapes, surfaces and materials
* visual illusions and perceptual organization having potential to
enhance image depiction
Important Dates
10 June 2009 Mandatory abstract submission
12 June 2009 Deadline for paper submission
17 July 2009 Notification of paper acceptance
31 July 2009 Final Papers Due
31 July 2009 Poster Submission Deadline
30 September-2 October 2009, Chania, Crete, Greece: Conference
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
will automatically 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 before submitting your work on
http://www.apgv.org. Submissions do not need to be anonymous.
All papers will be carefully reviewed by our International Program
committee. Papers will be evaluated as submitted, given the limited
time between submission and final version. This year, under a new
agreement with the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception (TAP) and
the ACM Publications Board, the strongest accepted papers will be
accepted for "presentation" at APGV and accepted (with revisions) to
ACM TAP. These papers will form the ACM TAP "APGV 2009 special issue,"
and will be given the designation "presented at APGV" as part of their
TAP citation. For those papers so selected, we guarantee continuity of
reviewers. Should a paper so selected not be adequately revised to the
satisfaction of the editors for its final acceptance into TAP, it will
revert to the APGV proceedings in the ACM Digital Library. Authors of
such special issue papers must agree to present the paper at APGV.
(As has always been the case, authors of regular APGV papers can still
submit to TAP regular issues with appropriate additions.)
Authors of accepted papers must prepare a final electronic version of
their paper that is "camera-ready". This electronic version will appear
in the ACM Digital Library as well as a conference proceedings DVD.
