9th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS
http://www.smartgraphics.org/
May 28-30 2009
Salamanca, Spain
(EXTENDED) Submission deadline February 14th, 2009
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 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 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 2009 welcomes submissions from researchers and practitioners, as
well as artists and graphic designers interested in an interdisciplinary
approach to the design of smart interactive visual, auditory, and haptic displays.
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, interactive art, digital music, hybrid art,
etc. A two-three page proposal outlining the concept and technique of the
artwork. 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 exhibited during the Smart Graphics symposium, within the
framework of the 5th International Arts Festival of Castilla y Leon. A report of
the art track including all the selected works will be included in the
proceedings. The best piece will be awarded and its author will be invited to
the symposium.
Smartgraphics 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, www.springer.com/lncs) series.
Topics of interest include (but are not restricted to):
* information visualization
* visual analytics
* graphical abstraction
* multimodal information presentation
* non-desktop interfaces
* user interaction
* sketch-based interfaces
* interaction science
* scene perception
* cognitive sciences
* user studies
* computer graphics
* artificial intelligence
* virtual and mixed reality
* graphics design
* technological art
This year, we propose a specific emphasis on visual analytics as well as all
kinds of transversal research that harnesses the power of humans and
technological artifacts in order to convey, understand and deal with complex
scientific and social processes.
Smart Graphics, beyond a conventional conference, will be intertwined with the
5th International Arts Festival of Castilla y Leon
(http://www.festivalcyl.com/), and we invite artists, technologists and scholars
from all disciplines to convene in Salamanca, May 28-30, 2009. Both during the
Smart Graphics Symposium and during the Festival (May 29-June 15) workshops,
system demonstrations, exhibitions, performances, panels and open discussions
related to how information technology is provided to the society and how art is
evolving and taking advantage of technological artefacts in its quest of new
artistic forms, will become part of the unique streets and buildings of UNESCO's
World Heritage city of Salamanca.

Aims and Scope
Synthesizing realistic natural scenes is a challenging and important
problem in computer graphics. The challenge stems not only from the
complexity and diversity of objects and natural phenomena interacting
together, but also from the huge amount of small details that should be
modeled to obtain realistic models and physically plausible simulations.
Therefore, there is still a need for interactive modeling and simulation
techniques capable for handling complex synthetic sceneries.
The purpose of this workshop is to explore novel techniques for modeling,
animating, simulating and rendering complex natural phenomena.
The workshop will build on work done in recent years including simulating
aging and weathering of synthetic objects, plant modeling, ecosystem
simulation, gaseous phenomena and liquid flows. It will focus on non
conscious or inanimate nature like rock, trees, oceans, wind, meadows
(animals and humans as part of nature should be excluded). Work in this
area, promising as it is, is still far from complete. Authors are invited to
submit technical papers in these or related areas. Topics of interest
include, but are not limited to:
- Plant structure modeling
- Ecosystem simulation
- Gaseous phenomena (clouds, fog)
- Simulating liquid flows and rain
- Modeling fire and smoke
- Aging and weathering
- Terrain modeling
