              International Symposium on Smart Graphics

                      www.smartgraphics.org

                      March 21st-23rd 2001
                IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
                       Hawthorne, NY, USA

Advances and breakthroughs in the area of  Computer Graphics have made
visual media a major  ingredient of the modern user interface,  and it
is likely  that graphics will  play a dominant role in the  way people
communicate and interact with computers in the future.  Especially the
evolution of computing towards more and more pervasive and distributed
devices pose new  and challenging problems  for  the effective  use of
graphics. Intelligent behavior and graphics will provide the technical
core  of next  generation interfaces.  But  in  order  to  make  those
interfaces   successful,   principles  and   findings  from  Cognitive
Psychology and  Graphics Design  are equally important to  reflect the
user's needs and abilities.

Until  recently  there  has  been  very  little  overlap  between  the
Cognitive  Psychology,  Computer  Graphics,  AI  and  Graphics  Design
communities. The Smart Graphics Symposium intends to close these gaps.
Recent  advances in Computer Graphics  have allowed AI  researchers to
integrate graphics in  their systems (without  being burdened  by low-
level  issues  such  as  image  rendering)  and  graphics acceleration
hardware  has become affordable and is now available for a broad range
of platforms.  On the  other hand,  many AI techniques have matured to
the point of being usable by non specialists.  Furthermore, these very
techniques are likely to be the vehicle by which both  principles from
Graphics Design, and the results of  research  in cognitive aspects of
visual representations will be integrated in next generation graphical
interfaces.
