> Smart Graphics is grounded in a deep understanding of human
abilities,
> activities, and desires. This understanding arises through the
> integration of fields such as art, design, and the social, cognitive,
> and perceptual sciences. Insights are realised in the form of novel
> methods for producing and interacting with rich graphical displays
often
> utilising established techniques from computer graphics, artificial
> intelligence, and computer science in general.
>
> Such interfaces present content that: (1) engages the user and is
> esthetically satisfying; (2) participates in human cognition as external
> or distributed representations; (3) is sensitive to the real-time
> demands of the interaction in the context of the available
computational
> resources; and (4) adapts 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 5th International Symposium on Smart Graphics will bring
together
> researchers from computer graphics, vizualisation, graphics design,
> cognitive psychology and artificial intelligence, all working on
> different aspects of computer-generated graphics. This year’s
meeting
> will be held in the beautiful Frauenwörth Cloister near Munich,
Germany.
>
> This year SG05 particularly encourages submission in the area of
visual
> analytics -- the art and science of analytical reasoning facilitated by
> interactive visual interfaces. Visual analytic interfaces are based on
> cognitive and perceptual principles to support human information
> discourse using innovative interactive techniques and visual
> representations. These are augmented by the art of graphical design
and
> interaction design and the use of Artificial Intelligence in partnership
> with biological intelligence. Testing these applications will require
> new methodologies that move beyond usability to quantify the impact
of
> interactive visualization applications on perceptual, distributed, and
> embodied cognition.
