Computational Aesthetics 2011 Call for Papers
===============================================
Date: August 5 7, 2011
Location: Vancouver, Canada
URL: http://www.computational-aesthetics.org/2011/
Computational Aesthetics (CAe) bridges the analytic and synthetic by
integrating aspects of computer science, philosophy, psychology, and the
fine,
applied & performing arts. It seeks to facilitate both the analysis and the
augmentation of creative behaviors. CAe also 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. The
Computational Aesthetics conference brings together individuals with
technical
experience of developing computer-based tools to solve aesthetic problems
and
people with artistic/design backgrounds who use these new tools. Refereed
CAe
papers and artworks aim to facilitate a dialogue between scientists and
engineers who are creating new tools, and also artists and designers who use
them. Presentations will 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.
For the first time in its history, CAe 2011 will be run jointly with the
related conferences on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR
2011)
and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM 2011), and the event will be
co-located with the worlds leading conference on computer graphics and
interactive techniques: SIGGRAPH 2011. CAe/NPAR/SBIM 2011 will be held on
August 57, 2011, in Vancouver, Canada, as a two-and-a-half day, two-track
event running before SIGGRAPH.
Three invited talks will be shared among the conferences and sessions will
be
mixed. Participants will be able to freely switch between the sessions to
not
only see the talks of their own field of work but also be inspired but talks
from related domains. The submission, reviewing, and publishing process for
the
event, however, will be handled separately between the three conferences.
Technical submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by
Computational Aesthetics. Specific technical areas include, but are not
limited
to:
* computational analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life);
* artistic image transformation techniques (colors, edges, patterns,
dithering);
* image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others);
* visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based);
* sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive);
* composition, visual balance, layout;
* non-photorealistic and illustrative rendering addressing computational
aesthetics;
* empirically based metrics of aesthetical attributes;
* applied visual perception (color appearance, spatial vision, and other
aspects);
* measuring and describing aesthetics; and
* computational tools for artists.
Successful submissions can, for example, describe novel technical approaches
that address one or more of the areas mentioned above (or beyond). However,
we
are equally interested in papers that discuss the use of existing techniques
but combine them in an interesting new way or apply them in a new context
that
addresses problems in computational aesthetics.
Technical Paper Submissions
---------------------------
Technical papers should present original, unpublished work. The manuscripts
must be written in English, must be formatted according to the EG
publication
guidelines, and should be no longer than 8 pages. The submission is
single-blind, so please format your paper camera-ready including author
names
and affiliations. Please see the web version of the call for further detail
on
how to prepare your paper:
<http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/conference/cae-sbim-npar-2011/CAe/CallForPapers>.
Paper submissions should be made via the Computational Aesthetics conference
management system at <https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/CSN2011/>. When
starting a new submission, please select the Computational Aesthetics:
Technical track.
Accepted technical and art papers will be presented at the symposium and
appear
in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published in the Eurographics
Workshop and Symposia Series, and will be listed in the Eurographics and ACM
Digital
Libraries.
