by Joaquim A. Jorge

Computational Aesthetics 2008 http://computational-aesthetics.org June 18-20, 2008, Lisbon, Portugal Keynote Speakers: Pat Hanrahan, Stanford, CA / Ernest Edmonds, UT Sydney Turner Whitted, Microsoft Research / David Salesin, Adobe Early Bird Registration Deadline: May 23, 2008 Provisional Program Available at: http://computational-aesthetics.org You are invited to participate in the fourth annual symposium on Computational Aesthetics that will take place at the Hotel Riviera in Lisbon, Portugal from 18-20 June 2008. Computational Aesthetics bridges the analytic and synthetic and integrates aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the fine & performing arts. In particular it focuses on the mathematical and information theoretic aspects of both connectionist and symbol processing methods by humans and computers. Computational Aesthetics seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the augmentation of creative behaviour. It 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. Invited talks will be given by individuals involved in the technical, artistic and theoretical aspects of this young field to help participants to better understand what aesthetics is, what computer technology is currently capable of delivering, and to appreciate what is involved in the creative process.

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.

Preference will be given to authors of papers and posters and to students with larger travel costs. Exact award amounts will depend on the final number of awarded bursaries. POSTERS AND DEMOS A poster and demo presentation is the perfect opportunity for authors to display and discuss late-breaking technical achievements that are either not ready or not suitable for publication as full papers. The poster and demo session will be an integral part of the SCA program, with specific time allotted for poster presenters and symposium participants to view and discuss the work. A pamphlet containing summaries of the posters will be distributed to all participants, and all presenters will have the opportunity to give a one-minute description of their work during a poster fast-forward session. ****Eligibility Poster presentations are not formal publications, so work submitted as a poster is still eligible for later publication in a journal or conference proceedings. We encourage any of the following types of poster submissions: * Up and coming computer animation research * Technically novel production work * Work done outside of SCA that would be of interest to the computer animation community. This includes animation-related works recently accepted to other conferences such as I3D or NPAR, or the SIGGRAPH Sketches program. * Lab overviews which present a snapshot of the ongoing animation-related research at a given institution. Please note that in order to maintain the quality of discussions and interactivity at the poster session, there must be at least one dedicated presenter for each poster. ****Format The submission for a poster should consist of a summary of no more than 2 pages in length. Each submission must be saved as PDF and formatted according to the EG publication style. Latex example available at: http://gv2.cs.tcd.ie/sca08/SCAPoster08.zip. Submissions must be camera-ready. This means that author names must be present in the submission. The review process will be single blind. ****Supplementary Materials The submission of supplementary materials is not required; however, a draft of the poster in PDF format is encouraged. For the final presentation, videos and interactive demonstrations are also highly encouraged. We will provide electrical outlets and tables so that authors can display such demonstrations using their own equipment. ****Electronic Submission All PDF poster summaries should be submitted via email to SCA2008.Posters(a)gmail.com by the deadline. Due to GMails limits, each email message must be less than 10MB. If this is not sufficient for your submission or supplemental materials, you may send your submission in parts as attachments to several emails. For supplemental materials, links to external websites are also allowable. ****Fast Forward Slide Authors of accepted posters will be required to provide a PowerPoint slide describing their work for the poster fast forward presentation session.
