Call For Papers – SIGraDi 2012

19/02/2012Architecture, Conference2012, architectural computing, Conference, SIGRADIEMC

The XVI SIGraDi Conference will take place in Fortaleza, Brazil, between November 14th and 16th 2012, focusing the debates on the theme form[in]formation. The challenges and efforts of our times are related to information. They deal with the progressive processes in which data is organized, and how this information can be communicated in various shapes and perceived as knowledge. Contemporary processes of design and production of the object, architecture and the city, require the digital manipulation of information. This manipulation allowed the resurgence of design processes based on emerging shapes, using algorithms and grammar; it is this digital progress that allows for the information management of BIM and other protocols of collaborative tasks; it also allows the idea formation in virtual realities, or even incorporated by the matter itself, through CAD-CAM technologies.

It is this process of formation, this continuos flux of reducing entropy, that comprises our matter. It is acknowledging this flux that we propose the XVI SIGRaDi Conference: the investigation of the processes of form[in]formation.

The sub themes for SIGraDi 2012 are related to the new procedures, media and practices of urban and architectonic design, the diverse manifestations of art, and design. The abstract submission should consider this multiplicity, choosing the topic that best suits the approach or envision of the work, according to the following tracks:

Poetics of design
Information modeling and Simulation
Information design and interface
Design Process
Collaborative environment as a support for design
New production systems
Teaching strategies and curriculum

Schedule and abstracts

We invite you to submit abstracts with a maximum of 600 words until April 15th 2012. Abstracts may be written in Spanish, Portuguese or English. You must also indicate your work interest area, approach and category. You can add five (5) keywords and a synthesis image.

Abstracts will be reviewed and evaluated through a blind peer review process by an International Scientific Committee. Criteria for acceptance are relevance, originality, premises, level of development and clarity of presentation.

The notification of acceptance is expected before July 15th 2012, and the full papers can be submitted until September 15th 2012.

All conference information and communication will be available through the conference website http://www.sigradi2012.com.br and through email contato@sigradi2012.com.br

Digital Classicist London 2012: Call for Papers

28/01/2012ConferenceEMC

Digital Classicist London 2012: Call for Papers
January 24th, 2012 by Gabriel Bodard The annual Digital Classicist London seminar series on the subject of research into the ancient world that has an innovative digital component will run again in Summer 2012.
We warmly welcome contributions from students as well as from established researchers and practitioners. Themes could include digital text, linguistics technology, imaging and visualization, linked data, open access, geographic analysis, serious gaming and any other digital or quantitative methods. While we welcome high-quality application papers discussing individual projects, the series also hopes to accommodate broader theoretical consideration of the use of digital technology in Classical studies. The content should be of interest both to classicists, ancient historians or archaeologists, and to information scientists or digital humanists, and have an academic research agenda relevant to at least one of those fields.
The seminars will run on Friday afternoons (16:30-18:00) from June to mid-July in Senate House, London, hosted by the Institute of Classical Studies (ending early this year to avoid clashing with the Olympic Games). In previous years collected papers from the seminars have been published in a special issue of Digital Medievalist; a printed volume from Ashgate Press; a BICS supplement (in production). The last few years’ papers have been released as audio podcasts. We have had expressions of interest in further print volumes from more than one publisher.
There is a budget to assist with travel to London (usually from within the UK, but we have occasionally been able to assist international presenters to attend, so please enquire).
To submit a paper for consideration for the Digital Classicist London Seminars, please email an abstract of 300-500 words togabriel.bodard, by midnight UTC on April 1st, 2012.
More information will be found athttp://www.digitalclassicist.org/wip/wip2012.html

DIGITAL PHYSICALITY | PHYSICAL DIGITALITY SECOND CALL FOR PAPERS

Digitality is the condition of living in a world where ubiquitous information and communication technology is embedded in the physical world. Although it is possible to point out what is “digital” and what is “real,” the distinction has become pointless, and it has no more explanatory power for our environment, buildings, and behaviour. Material objects are invested with communication means, teams are communicating even when not together, and buildings can sense and respond to the environment, each other, and to inhabitants.

Digital is no longer an add-on, extra, or separate software. Reality is partly digital and partly physical. The implication of this condition is not clear however, and we need to investigate its potential. We have to search for new strategies that acknowledge the synergetic qualities of the physical and the digital. This is not limited to artifacts or what we design, but it also influences the process, methods, and what or how we teach. For the conference therefore, we are looking for contributions that explore this synergy.

Authors are encouraged to submit their work on the conference theme.

Subjects may be, but are not limited to: CAAD curriculum. Modes of production. New design concepts and strategies. Mass customization. Collaborative design. Digital aids to design creativity. User participation in design. Generative design. Virtual architecture. Shape studies. Virtual reality. Precedence and prototypes. Web-based design. Design tool development. Human-Computer Interaction. Simulation, prediction, and evaluation. City modelling. Digital applications in construction.

8th Conference of the International Committee for Design History and Design Studies

History marks territories that in some way or another are reflected in design. Since the first ICDHS conference, held in Barcelona in 1999, significant steps were taken to draw attention to the nature of design studies, practice and history in a wider world context. Parallel to that, the configuration of design landscapes has been significantly altered by education, technology and national state policies intended to promote local industries and sites by means of design.

The 8th ICDHS conference, “Design Frontiers: territories, concepts, technologies”, aims to discuss how design history and design studies may push the limits of design knowledge. The frontiers of design may be challenged by the exploration of new territories, by the establishment of new concepts, by the emergence of new technologies, as well as by rediscovering the past and by finding new ways of applying current wisdom.

The Connected Past: people, networks and complexity in archaeology and history

University of Southampton 24-25 March 2012
http://connectedpast.soton.ac.uk/
Organisers: Tom Brughmans, Anna Collar, Fiona Coward

Confirmed keynote speakers: Professor Carl Knappett and Professor Alex Bentley

Over the past decade ‘network’ has become a buzz-word in many disciplines across the humanities and sciences. Researchers in archaeology and history in particular are increasingly exploring network-based theory and methodologies drawn from complex network models as a means of understanding dynamic social relationships in the past, as well as technical relationships in their data. This conference aims to provide a platform for pioneering, multidisciplinary, collaborative work by researchers working to develop network approaches and their application to the past.

The conference will be held over two days immediately preceding the CAA conference (Computer Applications and Quantitative Methods in Archaeology), also hosted by the University of Southampton (http://caa2012.org), allowing participants to easily attend both.

The conference aims to:
• provide a forum for the presentation of multidisciplinary network-based research
• discuss the practicalities and implications of applying network perspectives and methodologies to archaeological and historical data in particular
• establish a group of researchers interested in the potential of network approaches for archaeology and history
• foster cross-disciplinary dialogue and collaborative work towards integrated analytical frameworks for understanding complex networks
• stimulate debate about the application of network theory and analysis within archaeology and history in particular, but also more widely, highlight the relevance of this work for the continued development of network theory in other disciplines

We welcome contributions addressing any of (but not restricted to) the following themes:
· The diffusion of innovations, people and objects in the past
· Social network analysis in archaeology and history
· The dynamics between physical and relational space
· Evolving and multiplex networks
· Quantitative network techniques and the use of computers to aid analysis
· Emergent properties in complex networks
· Agency, structuration and complexity in network approaches
· Agent-based modelling and complex networks
· Future directions for network approaches in archaeology and history

Please email proposed titles and abstracts (max. 250 words) to:
connectedpast@soton.ac.uk by November 20th 2011.

Li Wang (Neil) wins best student paper prize at CHINZ 2011

Neil Wang, a Master of Design student at the Auckland School of Design, was awarded the best student paper at the CHINZ2011 conference in Hamilton yesterday. He presented his pilot study results, (final results will hopefully appear later). Neil received NZ$300 and a certificate from the 12th ACM SIGCHI-NZ Conference on Human-Computer Interaction, held at the University of Waikato, New Zealand, over 4-5 July 2011.

Title: A Pilot Study of Four Cultural Touch-Screen Games
Abstract:Four simple single-player games (based on the “Four Arts” of traditional Chinese culture) have been designed in Flash for a touch-screen display. The aim is to allow players to experience a digital interactive recreation of traditional Chinese culture, in order to understand features of traditional Chinese culture and related philosophical concepts such as Daoism. To evaluate the effectiveness of the design, a pilot study was conducted with twelve participants, six were Chinese speaking and six were not. The pilot study suggest that there are differences between Chinese and non-Chinese users in perceived notions of authenticity and ease of use and it has provided us with ideas on how to improve both the games and the evaluation.

Visiting Professorships 2012 etc

25/06/2011ConferenceEMC

I am not very familiar with this (especially the non US ones) but there seems to be a few websites around. I’m personally wondering if I can find a suitable visiting role in virtual heritage, digital humanities, architectural computing, game-based learning, digital aesthetics etc. So if you are interested in these relatively obscure roles yourself, I’ll add links to this blog post when and if I find them.
