CFP: International Conference on CYBERWORLDS

by Stefanie Behnke

CALL FOR PAPERS Paper Due: 10th May 2006 2006 International Conference on CYBERWORLDS November 28-30, 2006, Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL), Switzerland Organized by EPFL VRlab in cooperation with EUROGRAPHICS, ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGWEB, 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. IMPORTANT DATES Paper Due: 10th May 2006 Notice of Acceptance: 1st July 2006 Camera Ready Due: 28th July 2006 Conference: 28-30 Nov 2006 Full and Short Papers (in English) containing original and unpublished results are solicited.

[General] [CFP] -- EG Sketch-based Interfaces and Modeling, SBIM2006

by Stefanie Behnke

<our apologies for cross-posting> ************************************ ** EG SBIM 2006 : CALL FOR PAPERS ** ************************************ 3rd Eurographics Workshop on Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM '06) http://www.eg.org/sbm Vienna, Austria Sunday Sep. 3rd - Monday Sep. 4th 2006 ************* WORKSHOP ************* Aims and Scope °°°°°°°°°°°°°°° The mouse and keyboard have defined user interfaces for the nearly forty years since the mouse's invention, yet interfaces based on this hardware often leave much to be desired. For example, while computers are indispensable tools for engineering and architectural design, they have yet to become the preferred tool in the very early stages of design, where pencil and paper still reign. This is because current user interfaces are too cumbersome when rapid exploration of the design space is necessary. Sketch-based interfaces are emerging as an approach to address this sort of problem. Such interfaces are expected to provide flexible, informal interaction between computers and users in a way that that does not hinder creativity. These interfaces are becoming increasingly practical because of the many recent advances in pen input devices, especially tablet computers. The workshop will explore the techniques needed to enable sketch-based interfaces, such as techniques for classification and recognition of hand-drawn shapes and text. Likewise, the workshop will explore the application of sketch-based interfaces to domains such as 2D/3D graphics, CAD, diagram editing, note taking, etc. Finally, the workshop will welcome empirical usability studies aimed at clarifying the nature of sketch-based interfaces and comparing pen input to other interaction techniques. The workshop will provide an opportunity for researchers working on sketch-based interfaces to interact with one another, share lessons learned, show new results, and discuss open issues. The workshop, which will take place in Vienna, Austria, will be held just prior to the Eurographics '06 Conference. As such, it will provide an opportunity for researchers to participate in both events. The two-day workshop will include paper presentations (single track), coffee breaks, a conference dinner and invited talks. Participation is open to everyone; submitting a paper is not mandatory. The proceedings will be published in the EG Workshop series and made available online through the Eurographics Digital Library. (Baoquan Chen's report on last year's event can be found at: http://www.eg.org/sbm/2005/EventReport.pdf) Authors are invited to submit technical papers on topics including, but not limited to, the following: - Low level ink processing / Pen stroke segmentation - Sketch parsing - Classification and recognition of handwritten sketches - Multimodal interfaces for sketching - Novel sketch input devices - Rendering techniques for sketch-based interfaces (NPR) - Mobile appliances for design input - Usability studies of sketch-based systems - Sketch-based interfaces for 2D/3D computer graphics (modeling, animation, etc.) - Sketch-based interfaces for CAD systems - Sketch-based interfaces for other applications (diagram editing, math, etc.) - Sketches for Medical and Volume data editing - Sketching surfaces/diagrams/mathematical annotations/ etc. - Sketch-based retrieval of Multimedia Information - Creativity and design Submission Procedure °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Authors are requested to submit papers, no longer than 8 pages, with the main body set in Eurographics Conference Paper Format. All submissions are electronic. You can download a set of LaTeX style files from the EG Conference site. Each paper should contain title, authors' names and affiliations, abstract, keywords, text, illustrations and references. Detailed guidelines are available through the Workshop Site under instructions for authors. Submissions will be done electronically via the EG Conference Manager. We will accept papers in PDF format only. Please contact the conference organizers should you experience any problems with electronic submission. Post-workshop proceedings will be available on-line through the Eurographics Digital Library and in paper book form in the Eurographics Book Series. Selection will be based upon technical and scientific content and relevance to the workshop. Revised and expanded versions of selected workshop papers will be featured on a Special Issue of the Computers and Graphics Journal (Elsevier) in 2007 Invited Speakers °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Eric Saund (PARC) and Marc Alexa (TU Berlin) IMPORTANT DATES OF SBIM2006: °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 1) Deadline for paper submissions: May 26, 2006 2) Notification of Acceptance: July 7, 2006 3) Camera-Ready Copy Due: July 21, 2006 4) Conference date: Sunday Sep. 3rd - Monday Sep. 4th 2006 C&G Special Issue °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° 1) Selection of Best papers Announced: October, 2006 2) Revised Versions Due: December, 15 2006 3) Notification of Final Selection: January, 31 2007 4) Final Version Due: 21 February 2007 ************* COMMITTEE ************* Workshop Chair °°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Joaquim Armando Pires Jorge Technical University of Lisbon, Portugal jaj(a)rtr.inesc-id.pt Program Co-Chairs °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Thomas Stahovich University of California Riverside, USA stahov(a)engr.ucr.edu Mario Costa Sousa University of Calgary, Canada mario(a)cpsc.ucalgary.ca International Program Committee (Tentative) °°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°°° Marc Alexa, Technical University of Berlin, Germany Christine Alvarado, Harvey Mudd College, USA Ken Anjyo, OLM Digital, Japan Marie-Paule Cani, INP Grenoble, France Baoquan Chen, University of Minnesota, USA Daniel Cohen-Or, Tel Aviv University, Israel Pedro Pablo Company, U Jaume I, Spain Manuel Contero, Polytechnic University of Valencia, Spain Randy Davis, MIT, USA Ellen Yi-Luen Do, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Bianca Falcidieno, CNR IMATI-Genova, Italy Jean-Daniel Fekete, INRIA, France Nunes Ferreira, FEUP, Portugal Mark Gross, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Jason Hong, Carnegie Mellon University, USA Takeo Igarashi, University of Tokyo, Japan Kunio Kondo, Saitama University, Japan Jim Landay, University of Washington, USA Pierre Leclercq, University of Liege, Belgium Hod Lipson, Cornell University, USA Josep Llados, U.
