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>
