Call For Papers - CFP

For the first time in its history, CAe 2011 will be run jointly with the related conferences on Non-Photorealistic Animation and Rendering (NPAR 2011) and Sketch-Based Interfaces and Modeling (SBIM 2011), and the event will be co-located with the world’s leading conference on computer graphics and interactive techniques: SIGGRAPH 2011. CAe/NPAR/SBIM 2011 will be held on August 5?7, 2011, in Vancouver, Canada, as a two-and-a-half day, two-track event running before SIGGRAPH.

Three invited talks will be shared among the conferences and sessions will be mixed. Participants will be able to freely switch between the sessions to not only see the talks of their own field of work but also be inspired but talks from related domains. The submission, reviewing, and publishing process for the event, however, will be handled separately between the three conferences.

Technical submissions are invited across the broad range of areas covered by Computational Aesthetics. Specific technical areas include, but are not limited to:

computational analysis and modeling of creative behavior (AI, A-life);

artistic image transformation techniques (colors, edges, patterns, dithering);

image style and salience analysis (paintings, photographs, others);

visualization (perceptual or aesthetics based);

sketching, simplification techniques (artistic, cognitive);

composition, visual balance, layout;

non-photorealistic and illustrative rendering addressing computational aesthetics;

empirically based metrics of aesthetical attributes;

applied visual perception (color appearance, spatial vision, and other aspects);

measuring and describing aesthetics; and

computational tools for artists.

Successful submissions can, for example, describe novel technical approaches that address one or more of the areas mentioned above (or beyond). However, we are equally interested in papers that discuss the use of existing techniques but combine them in an interesting new way or apply them in a new context that addresses problems in computational aesthetics.

Technical Paper Submissions

Technical papers should present original, unpublished work. The manuscripts must be written in English, must be formatted according to the EG publication guidelines (see the templates for LaTeX and Word), and should be no longer than 8 pages. The submission is single-blind, so please format your paper camera-ready including author names and affiliations. For word processors other than LaTeX, a rebuild of the provided template is necessary.

The submission site and template information will be announced here in due course.

Accepted technical and art papers will be presented at the symposium and appear in the proceedings. The proceedings will be published and printed in the Eurographics Workshop and Symposia Series, and will be listed in the Eurographics and ACM Digital Libraries.
