CALL FOR PAPERS: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON COLOUR

as part of the AISB-50 Annual Convention 2014 to be held at Goldsmiths, 
University of London, on April 1st-4th 2014 (http://aisb50.org/). The 
convention is organised by the Society for the Study of Artificial 
Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), http://www.aisb.org.uk/

OVERVIEW
Understanding the way in which we experience colour is a topic that 
crosses many disciplines. From scientific measurement to subjective 
phenomena, colour is as diverse an area of study as Artificial 
Intelligence itself.  Colour permeates all aspects of our daily lives 
and yet still contains many unknowns. If we can gain a better 
understanding of how we perceive colour then we can use this information 
to drive advancement in technology, both in the machine processing of 
colour information and in simulation of the human visual system. Instead 
of (re)attempting to define how we experience colour, this symposium 
asks how we can explore and use what knowledge we already have, 
particularly across a wide range of disciplines.


TOPICS OF INTEREST
This symposium will offer the chance to explore the usefulness of our 
knowledge of colour from an interdisciplinary perspective. We encourage 
contributions from a wide range of fields such as psychology, 
philosophy, neurology and colour science through to (but by no means 
limited to) computer graphics and vision, linguistics, art and the 
Classics. There are no prescribed topics of interest: we welcome 
proposals from anyone in any discipline whose research is concerned with 
the perception, understanding and use of colour. It is hoped that 
engaging a broad variety of disciplines will enable all participants to 
reflect on insights that may not be obvious or prevalent within their 
own research.

The symposium will be organized around talks (the accepted full papers) 
and an informal discussion. The outcome of this symposium will be a 
broadened perspective of approaches to colour and a chance to foster new 
interdisciplinary research connections and collaborations.


SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Submissions must be full papers and should be sent via EasyChair:
https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=aisb50

Text editor templates from a pervious convention can be found at:
http://www.aisb.org.uk/convention/aisb08/download.html

We request that submitted papers are limited to eight pages. Each paper 
will receive at least two reviews. Selected papers will be published in 
the general proceedings of the AISB convention, with the proviso that at 
least ONE author attends the symposium in order to present the paper and 
participate in general symposium activities.


IMPORTANT DATES
i. Full paper submission deadline: 3rd January 2014
ii. Notification of acceptance/rejection decisions: 3rd February 2014
iii. Final versions of accepted papers: 24th February 2014
iv. Convention: 1-4 April, with this symposium on Thursday 3rd April


ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please note that there will be separate proceedings for each symposium, 
produced before the convention. Each delegate will receive a memory 
stick containing the proceedings of all the symposia. In previous years 
there have been awards for the best student paper, and limited student 
bursaries. These details will be circulated as and when they become 
available. Authors of a selection of the best papers will be invited to 
submit and extended version of the work to a journal special issue.
