Created in 2004, SBIM provides a unique venue for researchers, students and practitioners interested in sketch-based techniques to interact with one another, share lessons learned, show new results and discuss open issues. This year, the symposium will be held in Annecy, France as part of Expressive 2012. The symposium will include paper presentations, coffee breaks, demonstrations, a social event, and a keynote talk by Bob Sumner from Disney. All are welcome to attend SBIM; submission of a paper is not required for attendance. The proceedings will be published in the EG Symposia series and made available online through the Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries.

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 and editing 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…
• 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
• Multi-touch interfaces and applications

Looking forward to receiving your submissions and seeing you in Annecy in June,

Program Chairs: Karan Singh and Levent Burak Kara
