First Call for Papers to the GCR'09 Track in SAC'09

by Stefanie Behnke

FIRST CALL FOR PAPERS Geometric Constraints and Reasoning a technical track of The International ACM Symposium on Applied Computing SAC2009 March 8-12, 2009 Waikiki Beach, Honolulu, Hawaii, USA Geometric Constraints and Reasoning (GCR) is a technical track of the International Symposium on Applied Computing (see http://www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009). For the past twenty years the ACM Symposium on Applied Computing (SAC) has been a primary forum for applied computer scientists, computer engineers and application developers to gather, interact, and present their work. SAC is sponsored by the ACM Special Interest Group on Applied Computing (SIGAPP), its proceedings are published by ACM in both printed form and CD-ROM; they are also available on the web through ACM's Digital Library. More information about SIGAPP and past SACs can be found at URL: http://www.acm.org/sigapp. As a special track of SAC, the GCR is devoted to geometric reasoning taken in a broad sense. Initially, this track focused on geometric constraint solving but it appears that geometric computing and reasoning is closely related to this topic. Our aim is then to widen the audience and to make GCR a place where the communities of geometric constraint solving, computer aided deduction in geometry and related disciplines can meet and have fruitful exchanges. See http://www.lsi.upc.edu/~robert/gcr2009/gcr2009.html. SAC 2009 is also an opportunity to attend tracks related to GCR, about combinatorial optimization, constraint programming (non geometrical constraints), graph algorithms, numerical methods or interval analysis, etc. TOPICS Specific topics of interest for the GCR track include, but are not limited to, the following: * Resolution of geometric constraints, with computer algebra, numerical analysis, interval analysis, logical approaches (e.g. provers), or other methods. * Proving geometric theorems with logical approaches, deductive databases, Computer Algebra, etc. * Decomposition of systems of geometric constraints. * Mixing geometric and non geometric constraints (combinatorial or logical), white boxes, black boxes, geometric constraints and constraints programming. * Detection of dependences between constraints, debugging geometric constraints. * Constrained curves, surfaces, blends. * Exotic (eg non cartesian) formulations of constraints. * Comparison of resolution methods or constraints formulations for the same problems. * Mathematical background: combinatorial rigidity, graph theory, matroid theory, computer algebra (polynomial systems, dimension of ideals). * Applications in Computer Graphics, CAD-CAM, robotics, mechanism design, chemistry (eg molecule configurations), photogrammetry, virtual reality. * Sensitivity to parameters vales and other robustness issues, * Geometry of computations: using topological ad geometrical ideas in provers. * Dynamic geometry, pedagogical purposes, generating explanations, examples, counter examples. * Computer-human interfaces for geometric constraints. * Geometric constraints and data exchange. * Topological constraints, eg optimal curves or surfaces with prescribed, topology (homology, homotopy, isotopy). * Shape optimization. * Integration of geometric solvers into modelers, solvers architecture. * Geometric constraints and Human Computer interfaces. * Persistent naming problem and geometric modeling by constraints. Authors are invited to contribute original papers in the listed or other realted topics in the following categories of submissions: 1) Original and unpublished research work. 2) Reports of innovative applications to the arts, sciences, engineering, and business areas. 3) Reports of successful technology transfer to new problem domains. 4) Reports of industrial experience and demos of new innovative systems. All submissions will be peer reviewed. Papers will be selected based on their originality, timeliness, significance relevance and clarity of presentation. IMPORTANT DATES * August 16, 2008: Paper submissions * October 11, 2008: Author notification of acceptance/rejection * October 25, 2008: Camera-ready copy of accepted papers SUBMISSION INSTRUCTIONS * Submissions will be in electronic format, via the website http://sac.cs.iupui.edu/SAC2009/ * Submissions must follow the template that can be downloaded from http:www.acm.org/conferences/sac/sac2009/downloads09.htm * To facilitate blind review, papers should include in the first page just the title. Author(s) name(s) and address(es) must NOT appear in the paper body and self-references should be in the third person. * Camera ready manuscripts can have up to 5 pages. Up to three extra pages are allowed at a cost of 80USD per extra page. * Papers submitted to more than one track will be rejected.

by Stefanie Behnke

*************************************************************** * SAMT 2008 - Call for Research Papers * * 3rd International Conference on * * Semantics And digital Media Technologies * * Koblenz, Germany, 3-5 December 2008 * *************************************************************** In cooperation with ACM, IEEE, and Eurographics. --------------------- Objectives and Topics --------------------- Large amounts of multimedia material, such as images, audio, video and 3D/4D material, as well as computer generated 2D, 3D and 4D content, already exist and are growing at increasing rates. While these amounts are growing, managing distribution of and access to multimedia material is becoming ever harder, both for lay and professional users. The SAMT conference series tackles these problems by investigating the semantics and pragmatics of multimedia generation, management and user access. The conference targets scientifically valuable research tackling the semantic gap between the low-level signal data representation of multimedia material and the high-level meaning that providers, consumers and prosumers associate with the content. We welcome innovative solutions that consider some or all factors in the process of multimedia generation and consumption, including methods from low-level signal processing up to the mobile context in which a user operates. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: 1) SEMANTIC ANALYSIS AND MULTIMEDIA a) Knowledge assisted multimedia analysis b) Content-based multimedia analysis linked with natural language and speech processing 2) SEMANTIC RETRIEVAL AND MULTIMEDIA a) Semantic-driven multimedia indexing and retrieval b) Semantic retrieval of 3D objects c) Machine Learning and relevance feedback for finding semantics d) Semantic-driven multimedia content adaptation and summarization 3) SEMANTIC METADATA MANAGEMENT OF MULTIMEDIA a) Metadata management for multimedia b) Multimedia ontologies and infrastructures c) Standards bridging the multimedia and knowledge domains 4) SEMANTIC USER INTERFACES FOR MULTIMEDIA a) Interfaces and personalization for interaction with large multimedia repositories b) Semantic media annotation c) Inference and machine learning for semi-automatic annotation d) Browsing multimedia archives e) Device-specific access to and adaptation of multimedia 5) SEMANTIC VISUALIZATION AND GENERATION OF MULTIMEDIA, SEMANTIC COMPUTER GRAPHICS a) Semantics-driven multimedia presentation generation b) Semantics-enhanced virtual environments and content generation 6) APPLICATIONS OF SEMANTIC MULTIMEDIA a) Social multimedia tagging b) Context, user, network and semantics-aware media engineering c) Multimedia mash-ups d) Case studies with clear, innovative lessons learned ---------- Submission ---------- The conference proceedings will appear in the ACM digital library. Original contributions equivalent of 8 pages ACM style are supposed to be electronically submitted according to the instructions that will be posted to the conference web site. The papers should present original and previously unpublished results that are not simultaneously submitted elsewhere. ------------------- Conference Web Site ------------------- http://samt2008.uni-koblenz.de --------------- Important Dates --------------- Abstract Submission: June 6 Paper Submission: June 13 Notification: August 22 Camera Ready: September 15 Conference: December 3-5 -------------------- Organizing Committee -------------------- General & local chairs: Dietrich Paulus, Koblenz, DE Steffen Staab, Koblenz, DE samt-chairs(a)uni-koblenz.de Program chairs: Lynda Hardman, CWI, NL Alex Hauptmann, CMU, US David Duke, Leeds, UK samt-program-chairs(a)uni-koblenz.de Demo & poster chairs: Michela Spagnuolo, Genova, IT Siegfried Handschuh, DERI, IE samt-poster-demo-chairs(a)uni-koblenz.de Workshop & tutorial chair: Fabio Ciravegna, U.
