Graphics become Smart Graphics when their design and implementation are
grounded in a deep understanding of human abilities, activities, and
desires. This understanding arises from the integration of fields such as
art, philosophy, semiotics, and the social, cognitive, and perceptual
sciences with novel methods for producing and interacting with rich
graphical (visual, auditory, and haptic) environments.

Such interfaces present content that: (1) engages the user and is
esthetically satisfying; (2) participates in human cognition as external or
distributed representations; (3) is sensitive to the real-time demands of
the interaction in the context of the available computational resources; and
(4) adapts the form of the output according to a wider set of constraints
such as an individual's perceptual, attentive, and motor abilities and the
nature of the presentation media and available interaction devices.

The International Symposium on Smart Graphics brings together people from
the fields of Computer Graphics, Graphics Design, Cognitive Psychology and
Artificial Intelligence, all working on different aspects of
computer-generated graphics. In order to emphasize the interplay of design,
art, and technology in Smart Graphics we are holding this year's symposium
at Banff Centre for the Arts (http://www.banffcentre.ca) in collaboration
with the Banff New Media Institute.

SG04 welcomes submissions from computer graphics, HCI & AI researchers and
practitioners, applied philosophers, cognitive scientists, artists and
graphic designers.
