2nd International Symposium on Smart Graphics
http://www.smartgraphics.org
June 11-13 2002
IBM T.J. Watson Research Center
Hawthorne, NY, USA
In cooperation with: AAAI & Eurographics
SG2002 welcomes submissions from cognitive scientists, psychologists,
graphic designers, and human-computer interaction, computer graphics &
artificial intelligence researchers and practitioners.
Invited Speakers:
Ben Shneiderman (University of Maryland, USA)
Jock Mackinlay (Xerox PARC, 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 behaviour & 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 Symposiums intend 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.
