The Deadline has closed to enter!
March 20th-22nd 2000, Stanford, CA, USA
In Cooperation with Eurographics
CALL FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Advances in the field of computer graphics have made visual media a major
ingredient of the modern interface and it is certain that graphics will
play an increasingly important role in the way people communicate and
interact with computers in the future.
Smart Graphics is the interdisciplinary approach to the design,
generation, presentation and interaction with 2D and 3D graphical
interfaces in a manner that is sensitive to technological,
computational and cognitive constraints. As an enterprise it relies on
the synthesis of insights from graphic design, cognitive science,
human-computer interaction, graphics and artificial intelligence, and
the symposium aims to broker a multidisciplinary
dialogue between these communities.
Smart Graphics aims to move beyond the current requirement that designers
anticipate every data, task and technological scenario, and instead allow
the dynamic generation and presentation of content in such a manner
that:
(1) engages the user and is aesthetically satisfying;
(2) takes account of cognitive insights as to the use of external
representations, for example, minimizing potential for imprecision and
ambiguity;
(3) is sensitive to the real-time demands of the task in the context
of available
computational resources; and
(4) adapts the form of the output according to constraints placed on the
presentation by the nature of the target media and available interaction
devices.
An extended CFP and a detailed description of the scope of the scope of
the symposium can be found at the symposium home page:
http://www.cs.york.ac.uk/~patrick/SG2000
Smart Graphics research can be loosely divided into principles, methods
and systems-based research, and submissions in all these areas are
encouraged. The symposium will be highly interactive in character,
including a mixture of talks, coordinated discussion and demonstrations.
There are 4 classes of submission:
-- Full presentation (papers of 3000-5000 words)
-- Poster talk/presentation (papers of 1000-2000 words)
-- System demonstration (a system description of 1000-2000 words)
-- Statement of interest (statements of less than 1000 words)
Since attendance at the symposium is by invitation and many of the symposium
activities will be based on preparations made prior to the symposium,
potential attendees must at the very least submit a "statement of interest".
Submissions should be either postscript or html format and should be
e-mailed to:
Andreas Butz (butz@cs.uni-sb.de)
...by 8 October 1999 (receipt will be confirmed by e-mail).
