EUROGRAPHICS 2008

by Stefanie Behnke

EUROGRAPHICS 2008 14-18 April 2008 The conference is now approaching rapidly, so if you have not done so already, please register for the conference NOW and make your travel plans. Remember, the conference is in April this year, not September! The early bird registration deadline has been extended to *next Wednesday, March 5th*. When planning your travel, it might help you to know that there are regular flights from Athens to Heraklion, both Olympic Airlines and Aegean Airlines have regular flights on this route. It may be better to find a cheap round-trip to Athens, and look up the Athens-Heraklion trip separately, since this appears to give better prices in many cases. Low cost airlines also operate from some European destinations, e.g. EasyJet from London Gatwick, and some charter companies already have flights to Heraklion (e.g., Air Mediterranee from Paris CDG). The new airport in Athens incorporates domestic and international flights in the one building. Please help us to spread the word about EG 2008. A great deal of effort is going into organising the conference, and we have a very strong and exciting technical programme. This is the first time that the conference has been held in the spring-time, the community was very much in favour of the change of time slot, so please help to make this event a success by coming to Crete! We look forward to welcoming you there. Panos Trahanias Nigel John David Duce Conference co-Chairs Eurographics Chairman

International Conference on Cyberworlds (CW 2008): Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

**************************************************************************** We apologize if you received multiple copies of this Call for Papers. Please feel free to distribute it to those who might be interested. **************************************************************************** Call for Papers International Conference on Cyberworlds (CW 2008) URL: http://www.china-vr.com/cw08/index.htm Hangzhou, China September 22-24, 2008 The conference Proceedings will be published by the IEEE Computer Society Press. Special issues in SCI journal(s) are being planned. Cyberworlds are information worlds being formed on Internet either intentionally or spontaneously, with or without design. As information worlds, they are either virtual or real, and can be both. In terms of information modeling, the theoretical ground for the Cyberworlds is far above the level of integrating spatial database models and temporal database models. This conference will deal with large distributed information worlds on Internet and methods/tools used for creating such worlds. This year, Cyberworlds 2008 (CW2008) will be held in Hangzhou, China. Hangzhou has long been a famous tourist attraction. The widely expressed Chinese proverb, "in heaven there is paradise and on earth there are Hangzhou and Suzhou" combined with the words of Marco Polo who described this place as, "the most beautiful and magnificent city in the world" have helped to make Hangzhou one of the biggest tourist attractions in the entire country. Conference Topics . Philosophy, evolution, and ethics of Cyberworlds . Cyberworlds and their impact on the real worlds . Telemedicine, healthcare in Cyberworlds . Mobile computing, mobile graphics, mobile game . E-learning, web-based learning and edutainment . Intelligent agents in Cyberworlds . Digital watermarking, Internet security, information hiding .

CFP Smartgraphics 2008

by Stefanie Behnke

SG08: 8th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS http://www.smartgraphics.org/ Aug 27-29 2008 Rennes, France submission deadline Apr 7th, 2008 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 esthetically 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 2008 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 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. Smartgraphics specially encourages young researchers to submit their ideas and results. The best full paper and best poster, which first authors are students, will receive a 500 euros prize each donated by the Metivier Foundation. As in previous conferences, proceedings will be published in the Springer Lecture Note in Computer Science (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 This year, we propose a specific emphasis on interaction in virtual reality as well as on constraint techniques in user interfaces.

CFP: Computational Aesthetics 2008 Papers Deadline: March 15

by Joaquim Jorge

Computational Aesthetics 2008 http://computational-aesthetics.org June 18-20, 2008, Lisbon, Portugal Keynote Speakers: Pat Hanrahan, Stanford, CA and Ernest Edmonds, UT Sydney 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. Technical submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics (for the Call for Participation by experts in the visual arts, see the website). Specific examples include, but are not limited to: • Computational analysis and modelling of creative behaviour (AI, A-life) • Artistic Image Transformation Techniques (colours, edges, patterns, dithering) • Image Analogies, Style Transfer Methods • Image Style and Salience Analysis (Paintings, Photographs, others) • Visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based) • Sketching, Simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive) • Composition, Visual Balance, Layout • Non-Photorealistic Rendering • Empirically based Metrics of Aesthetical Attributes • Applied Visual Perception (Colour Appearance, Spatial Vision, and other aspects) Paper Submission: Submitted papers should present original, unpublished work. The manuscripts must be written in English, must be formatted according to the EG publication guidelines, and can be no longer than 8 pages. The accepted technical and art papers will be presented at the symposium and will appear in the proceedings, which will be published by Eurographics, distributed by AK Peters and appear in the Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries. For more information including paper formatting and submission guidelines see the website at http://computational-aesthetics.org Important dates: Submission deadline (Full Papers / Short Papers / Panels): March 15 2008 Acceptance notification: April 18, 2008 Artist’s Presentations / Artworks / Performances / Posters / Demo Proposals: April 15, 2008 Camera-ready deadline: May 2, 2008 Conference: June 18-20, 2008 Conference Chairs: Joaquim Jorge, INESC-ID, Portugal Bruce Gooch, Univ.

SBIM 2008: SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

by Stefanie Behnke

SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS SBIM 2008 Fifth Eurographics workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling June 11-13, Annecy, France http://www.eg.org/sbm co-located with NPAR 2008 and the Annecy Animation Film Festival Important Dates March 15, 2008 Paper Deadline April 20, 2008 Notification of Decisions May 2, 2008 Final Papers Due June 11-13, 2008 Conference Dates Call for Papers Although computers are indispensable tools, pencil and paper still reign in the early stages of design in domains such as engineering, architectural design and in the entertainment industry, from 3D animation to video games. Enabled by advances in pen-based computer hardware, digital sketch-based interfaces are emerging as a way to combine the quick and intuitive feel of paper with the advantages of digital technology. However, fully realizing the potential of these sketch-based systems requires effective user interface design and underlying algorithms to analyse the input. Interpreting the users' sketches as advanced 2D or 3D models is a fascinating research area that builds on human perception, shape recognition and geometric modeling techniques. In addition to sketching from scratch, many tasks related to modeling, editing and control can be made more efficient through systems that allow the user to annotate existing data, from text and diagrams to images, videos or 3D shapes. The workshop will explore models, algorithms and technologies needed to enable effective sketch-based interfaces. It will investigate novel methods for classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes, and the ways of using these techniques for creating or editing digital models, from text and 2D diagrams to 3D shapes. Likewise, the workshop will explore the application of sketch-based interfaces to domains as diverse as 3D computer graphics and animation, CAD, diagram editing, note taking, etc. Finally, the workshop will welcome empirical user studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing them to other interaction techniques. Created in 2004, SBIM provides a unique venue for researchers and students interested in sketch-based techniques to interact with one another, share lessons learned, show new results and discuss open issues. This year, the workshop will be held in Annecy, France, a friendly little town surrounded by the beautiful French Alps. It will take place during the famous Annecy Animation Film Festival and be held back to back with NPAR'2008 (the premier conference for techniques in expressive rendering and animation), encouraging participation in both events. The two-days workshop will include paper presentations (single track), coffee breaks, a social event and invited talks. All are welcome to attend the workshop; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. The proceedings will be published in the EG Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital Library. Authors are invited to submit original papers on topics in pen-based 2D and 3D modeling, sketch recognition, and pen-based interface design, including, but not limited to: * Multimodal interfaces for sketching * Novel sketch input devices * Novel pen-based interaction techniques * Low level ink processing and pen stroke segmentation * Sketch parsing, classification and recognition * Sketch-based interfaces for CAD systems * Sketch-based modeling and editing of 3D shapes * Sketch-based control of animations * Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (surface editing, diagram creation, mathematical annotations, games, etc.) * Rendering techniques for sketch-based systems (NPR) * Sketches for Medical and Volume data editing * Sketch-based retrieval of multimedia information * Usability studies of sketch-based systems * Studies of the impact of sketching on creativity and design The workshop is small and provides plenty of time for interaction, so authors of workshop papers are strongly encouraged to provide demos. Submission Information Authors are requested to submit original research papers, no longer than 8 pages, with the main body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format.

NPAR 2008 (Annecy France)

by Stefanie Behnke

NPAR 2008 (Annecy France), June 9-11 2008 Please send your work to NPAR 2008 ! the main conference on non-photorealistic animation and rendering returns to Annecy, FRance, with the international animated film festival. Note that the sketch based interfaces and modeling conference SBIM08 will also take place the same week in Annecy. Conference Themes Non-photorealistic animation and rendering (NPAR) refers to techniques for visually communicating ideas and information. Such techniques usually generate imagery which is expressive, rather than "photorealistic". We seek new research on both the mechanisms of non-photorealistic rendering techniques as well as the principles of visual communication via such artistic rendering. Specific themes of the conference include, but are not limited to: * Simulation of traditional and new graphical styles * Simulation of natural media * Hardware-accelerated algorithms * Level-of-detail in image space * Abstraction and composition in rendered images * Synthesis of stroke-based patterns * Style transfer * Automatic painting from photographs and video * Temporal and spatial coherence in non-photorealistic rendering * Motion blur and depth of field in non-photorealistic images * Lighting models for NPAR * Non-traditional perspective * Animation systems * Computer-aided cartoon animation * 2D/3D integration * Live-action integration * Computer-aided in-betweening * Computer-aided layout * Matting and compositing * Image-based rendering * Rendering languages and systems * NPAR-based information visualization * Interaction techniques for NPAR * NPAR suitable for practical use This year we accept your work in the form of research papers, posters and animations (see details on http://www.npar.org/2008). Note the main submission deadlines: Papers: 8 February, 2008 Posters: 25 March, 2008 Animations: 15 April, 2008 See you in Annecy ! Ken Anjyo and François Sillion , conference chairs
