SG07: 7th International Symposium on SMART GRAPHICS http://www.smartgraphics.org/ June 25-27 2007 Kyoto, Japan Submission deadline: Feb 16, 2007 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 partnering event, for which we encourage participation is the 7th Creativity and Cognition Conference (CC2007). Another partner-event is the Visual Computing / Graphics & CAD symposium, which takes place in Osaka, Japan (Jun 23-24). SG07 welcomes submissions from computer graphics, HCI & AI researchers and practitioners, cognitive scientists, artists and graphic designers interested in a theroetically 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 (formal approval pending).
