************************************************************************
We have just been offered the chance to extend this symposium to two
days and are therefore eliciting EXTENDED ABSTRACTS by 24th January.
Extended Abstracts should be at least one full side of A4 and should
outline the key areas of the proposed paper.

CALL FOR PAPERS: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON COLOUR *** EXTENDED DEADLINE, 24th
JANUARY ***

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/

SYMPOSIUM WEBSITE: http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~mas01kd/aisb50/

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.

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.

The symposium will be organised 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/extended abstract submission *** EXTENDED DEADLINE ***
24th January 2014
ii. Notification of acceptance/rejection decisions: 3rd February 2014
iii. Final versions of accepted papers: March 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. 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.
