"Smart Graphics" AAAI 2000 Spring Symposium
*******************************************
*******************************************
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 ([log in to unmask])
...by 8 October 1999 (receipt will be confirmed by e-mail).
