CAADRIA Announcements

CDVE2012 Abstract deadline is approaching

The 9th International Conference on Cooperative Design, Visualization and
Engineering – www.cdve.org, Sept. 2-5, Osaka, Japan

The Abstract submission deadline is: Feb. 15, 2012

You should submit the abstract and the paper by Easychair system. Please
check how to submit a paper in http://www.cdve.org/submit.html .

Even the abstract submission is not obligated. You can submit a full paper
without an abstract. However, we highly recommend you to submit an abstract
to increase the chance of your paper acceptance and raise the quality of the
papers.

Our keynote speaker will be Professor Renate Fruchter at Stanford
University, founding director of the Project Based Learning Laboratory.
The proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag on their Lecture Notes
of Computer Science (LNCS).

All the original paper abstracts on our conference topics are welcome.
The papers should not be published nor submitted elsewhere. We emphasize the
cooperative aspect of all of them but not the disciplines themselves. Please
make sure that your paper addresses the cooperative aspect.

Please feel free to forward this call to any parties and link the conference
website to your own website.

We look forward to seeing you in Osaka, Japan!

Call for Papers and Participation

International Symposium on Cooperative Design and Visualization, CDV2012, IEEE

11-13 July 2012, LIRMM CNRS Univ. Montpellier II, Montpellier, France www.graphicslink.co.uk/IV2012/CDV.htm<http://www.graphicslink.co.uk/IV2012/CDV.htm>

Introduction:

The rapidly growing amount, availability and complexity of information pose great chances for a more holistic understanding of yet undiscovered interdependencies within systems and disciplines. Recent developments show that areas such as economics and trading, legislation, planning and design need new techniques for assessments and risk management. Quite often it is hard to predict and to communicate what effects certain sanctions will have — or even why they are particularly selected as a part of an action plan. The importance to clearly visualize and communicate system effects present an incontestable value — especially if combined with instant and interactive techniques, which stimulate a fruitful exchange between disciplines. Interdisciplinary questions drive evermore cooperation and analytical work in teams. Since each discipline provides its personal visual and textual languages these barriers have to be overcome when it comes to true cooperation. Enhanced — while still being generic — techniques for supporting and managing cooperative processes need to be found.

Objective:

This symposium will present current results emerging in the international field from research and praxis. Thus topics of submitted contributions (theories, methodologies, techniques, applications, evaluations) should describe but are not limited to:

*   Innovative forms of representations (cooperative visualization)

*   Interactive exploration (HCI, database support, distributed environments)

*   Instant cooperation (cooperative design, concurrent design)

Scope:

For IEEE Symposium on Cooperative Design and Visualization (CDV2012) we are looking forward to receive new contributions in visualization and cooperation from the engineering, design, planning, economics and computer sciences oriented disciplines.
