<br>
The 6th International Symposium on Visual Information
Communication and Interaction (VINCI) is a multi-disciplinary
conference that provides a forum for researchers, artists,
designers, and industrial practitioners to discuss the state of
the art in visual communication theories, designs, and
applications. <br>
<br>
VINCI has been previously held in Shanghai, China (VINCI'2008),
Sydney, Australia (VINCI'2009), Beijing, China (VINCI'2010),
Hong Kong (VINCI'2011), and Hangzhou, China (VINCI'2012). VINCI
2013 will be held on August 17 and 18 in the beautiful city of
Tianjin, China. <br>
<br>
<br>
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS <br>
<br>
We are soliciting high quality research papers reporting on
original research as well as system development experiences
across a wide spectrum of interests and disciplines, including
computer science, design, arts, sociology, anthropology and
psychology. We are particularly interested in work that bridges
the divide between technology, art and design. Topics of
interest include, but are not limited to, the following: <br>
<br>
Area 1: Visualization methodologies <br>
<br>
* Information visualization <br>
* Graph drawing and visualization <br>
* Cognitive aspects of visual information comprehension <br>
* Visual metaphors and symbols <br>
* Usability or empirical study of new visual metaphors <br>
* Design theory in the digital age <br>
* Aesthetics in visual communication and digital media <br>
* Interaction methods (touch-based, haptic, vision-based,
multi-modality) <br>
<br>
<br>
Area 2: Visualization applications <br>
<br>
* Visual Analytics <br>
* Sketching <br>
* Graphical user interface design <br>
* Software visualization <br>
* Visual approaches to knowledge discovery <br>
* Visual programming and modeling languages <br>
* Visualization on mobile devices <br>
* Animation <br>
* Game design <br>
<br>
<br>
Area 3: Visual design & art <br>
<br>
* Interaction design <br>
* Interactive art <br>
* Infographie and data-driven art <br>
* Virtual actors <br>
* Interactive storytelling <br>
* Augmented reality and its applications <br>
* Computational (or digital) aesthetics <br>
* Wearable computers <br>
* Ubiquitous / responsive environments <br>
* Entertainment technology <br>
<br>
<br>
PAPER SUBMISSION <br>
<br>
Submissions that address research and development on the above
and other related topics are strongly encouraged. The scientific
quality of contributed papers will be ensured by a rigorous
review process, that will involve all members of the Program
Committee. Papers may be up to 10 pages long and should be in
ACM archival format. Accepted papers will be published by ACM
Press and made available in the ACM Digital Library, as has been
the case in previous years. Like VINCI 2010, 2011 and 2012
papers, accepted VINCI 2013 papers will be EI-indexed. Selected
papers will be published in a special issue of appropriate
journals including the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing
(JVLC) and International Journal of Software and Informatics
(IJSI). Papers must be written in English. <br>
<br>
<br>
POSTERS, DEMOS AND VIDEOS <br>
<br>
VINCI 2013 offers a timely venue for artists, designers,
industrial practitioners and researchers to present their
ongoing projects, discuss innovative ideas and new problems or
applications, and gain feedback from the community about their
work. Authors will have a chance to give a short presentation at
the demonstration session to discuss work and interact with the
audience. Submissions can be made in the following form: <br>
<br>
* Posters: Submit a two-page paper describing work on topics
listed above. Authors of accepted posters are required to bring
a large hardcopy poster for display. Posters have no predefined
formatting, but the dimensions may not exceed A0 paper size
(841mm X 1189mm). Posters are not considered archival
publications and thus can have subsequent full papers submitted
to other conferences or journals. <br>
<br>
* Demos: Submit a one-page paper describing the system to be
demonstrated. The live demo is limited to 20 minutes. Presenters
should provide their own equipment if needed. <br>
<br>
* Videos: Submit a one-page paper describing a pre-captured
movie in standard formats. The video demo is limited to 20
minutes. Presenters can show and narrate the videos. <br>
<br>
