SG06: 6th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS
http://www.smartgraphics.org/sg06
July 23-25 2006
Vancouver Canada
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; and
(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 brings together people
from the fields of Cognitive Science, Computer Graphics, Artificial
Intelligence and Graphics Design to build this new and emerging area
of study. A growing interest in visual analytics and interaction
science on the part of applications developers and granting agencies
has led us to co-locate this years conference with the 28th Annual
Meeting of the Cognitive Science Society and the IEEE World Congress
in Computational Intelligence.
SG06 welcomes submissions from computer graphics, HCI & AI researchers
and practitioners, cognitive scientists, artists and graphic designers
interested in a theoretically motivated interdisciplinary approach to
the design of interactive visual, auditory, and haptic displays.
It is planned to publish the proceedings in the Springer LNCS series,
as in the previous years.

Venue
-----
Santiago de Compostela is mainly a monumental town, a stony miracle which
has been shaped around the Apostle St James's sepulchre along the
centuries, and which has resulted in one of the most splendid and harmonic
architectural ensembles in the world. Considered to be one of the three
spiritual capitals of Christendom together with Rome and Jerusalem, from
the Middle Ages it became the goal of religious pilgrimages, a phenomenon
that would give birth to the pilgrims' Road to Santiago, the real spine of
the art and the thought from which, as Goethe said, the idea of Europe
would be born.
The conference venue will be the Universidad de Santiago de Compostela, at
the Escola Técnica Superior de Enxeñería (Rúa Lope Gómez de Marzoa,
15782-Santiago de Compostela)
Paper Submission
---------------
Submissions are invited as either a full paper of 6 to 10 pages (A4 paper)
for oral presentation or as a short paper of 2 to 4 pages (A4 paper). The
papers must be written in English, although presentations can be delivered
in Portuguese, Spanish or English. The program committee, composed of
internationally renowned experts, will review the submissions.
Guidelines for the authors

Call for Participation
CGE'06 the 2006 Workshop on Computer Graphics Education:
"Defining an International Curriculum in Computer Graphics"
September 9, 2006, Vienna, Austria
Sponsored by ACM SIGGRAPH and Eurographics
We invite you to participate in the 2006 edition of the Computer
Graphics Education Workshop. Our aim is to define an international
curriculum in Computer Graphics which respects the Bologna
requirements (EU) and reflects the international nature of the
computer graphics education workshops to date.
This one-day workshop will be held in conjunction with the
Eurographics 2006 conference in Vienna, Austria. This workshop will
continue the sequence of computer graphics education workshops over
the last few years. These workshops and links to their reports are:
- 1999 Coimbra:
http://www.siggraph.org/education/conferences/GVE99/papers/GVE.FullReport.p…
- 2002 Bristol: http://www.siggraph.org/education/bristol/bristol.htm
- 2004 Hangzhou:
http://www.siggraph.org/symposia/reports/Rep2004CGEworkshop.pdf
We welcome the participation of persons interested in and committed to
computer graphics education. Participation will be on the basis of
accepted position papers. Each position paper should:
- be two to four pages long (standard single-spaced text),
- have a single author,
- describe the author's view on or experience with a topic that fits
the theme of the workshop,
- be submitted electronically, to one of the workshop co-chairs,
before April 28, 2006.
They will be reviewed by the workshop's organizing committee and
additional reviewers as needed, and invitations are expected to be
extended by June 9, 2006. We expect to limit the number of
participants to 30-40.
The workshop will include lunch, coffee breaks, and there will be a
registration fee of 40 Euros to cover the expenses for these.
We encourage anyone interested in the workshop to consider attending
the education programme at the Eurographics 06 conference whose
announcement is at
http://www.cg.tuwien.ac.at/events/EG06/education.php
A fairly good overview of the European Higher Education Area (from the
Bologna declaration) can be found at

CALL FOR PAPERS
2006 International Conference on CYBERWORLDS
November 28-30, 2006, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland
Organized by EPFL VRlab
In cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGWEB, EUROGRAPHICS, CUSO, and INTUITION EU Network of Excellence
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 modelling, 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 as well as methods and tools used for creating such worlds.
CONFERENCE TOPICS
The conference topics include but are not limited to the following areas.
- Philosophy, Evolution, and Ethics of Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds and their impact on the real worlds
- Cyberethics and Cyberlaws
- Cybersecurity
- Visual Cyberworlds
- Human animation in Cyberworlds
- Virtual Reality in Cyberworlds
- Computer vision and augmented reality for Cyberworlds
- Intelligent agents in Cyberworlds
- Communication in Cyberworlds
- Distributed virtual environments
- Shared virtual worlds
- Data mining and warehousing in Cyberworlds
- Bioinformatics for Cyberlife and medicine
- Healthcare in Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for bioengineering
- Cyberinformation systems
- E-business in Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for education
- Collaborative work using Cyberworlds
- Cyberworlds for manufacturing
- Cyber fairs and Cyber museums
- Multi-user web games
CW2006 will provide an opportunity for scientists, engineers, and researchers from around the world to share the latest research, ideas, and developments in these fields. The conference will consist of formal paper sessions and hands-on demonstrations where research groups and vendors will show the state-of-the-art in the field.
