Call for Papers for Computational Aesthetics 2007 (CAe 2007),
held on June 20-22, 2007 in Banff, Alberta, Canada
http://innovis.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/cae2007/
Our ability to convey complex meaning and emotion by the clever
arrangement of symbols and signs is one of the most celebrated aspects
of our human heritage. If Aesthetics is defined as the interaction
between symbol and observer within a social context, then
Computational Aesthetics is the empirically based field that examines
applications of Aesthetics. Computational Aesthetics integrates
aspects of computer science, psychology, and the visual arts, with
particular focus on the mathematical and information theoretic aspects
of symbol processing by humans and computers. By combining insights
from these fields, Computational Aesthetics not only provides tools
for the graphics and visualization communities to increase the value
of displayed imagery and to avoid classical artifacts, but also
furthers our understanding of perception and meaning. Computer based
tools, resulting from Computational Aesthetics research, may also be
used to enhance the expressive power of the fine and applied arts and
to expand the role of aesthetic design as a differentiating factor in
product development and retail sales.
We are pleased to announce the third workshop on Computational
Aesthetics, which will take place in Banff, Alberta, Canada on June
20-22, 2007. It is the third event on this topic following a Workshop
in 2005 in Girona, Spain, and a Dagstuhl seminar in Germany in
2006. This conference will bring together individuals with technical
backgrounds who are developing computer based tools to solve aesthetic
problems and people with artistic and design backgrounds who use these
new tools in their work. Invited talks will be given by leading
technical and artistic/design figures to help participants to better
understand what computer technology is capable of delivering and to
fully appreciate what is involved in the artistic and design
process. Refereed papers will also be presented to provide a snapshot
of the latest technical breakthroughs and the most recent artistic or
design achievements in applying computer based techniques to solve
aesthetic problems. The overriding goal of the conference will be to
facilitate a dialogue between the scientists and engineers who are
creating these new tools and the artists and designers who are the end
users.
Submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by
Computational Aesthetics. Specific examples include, but are not
limited to:
* Artistic Image Transformation Techniques (colors, edges,
patterns, dithering)
* Image Analogies, Style Transfer Methods
* Sketching, Simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive)
* Composition, Visual Balance, Layout
* Non-Photorealistic Rendering
* Image Style Analysis (Paintings, Photographs, others)
* Empirically based Metrics of Aesthetical Attributes
* Applied Visual Perception (Color Appearance, Spatial Vision,
and other aspects)
Submitted papers should be original, unpublished work of up to 8
pages. The manuscripts must be written in English. For more
information including paper formatting and submission guidelines see
the website at http://innovis.cpsc.ucalgary.ca/cae2007/ Please note
that this call for technical contributions is complemented by a call
for participation by experts in the visual arts, for details see the
website.
