The Interactive Image: Pictorial Pragmatics in Computational Visualistics

We ask for contributions to picture pragmatics from the particular
point of view of computer science and media informatics. We are
particularly interested in pragmatic aspects related to interactive
pictures. Papers in German, English or French on themes around the
following "crystallization cores" are strongly encouraged:

	> "Smart Graphics": Applications of Pragmatics for Interactive
	Images
	
	> Pictorial Pragmatics for Immersive Systems

	> User Modelling for Picture Presentations

	> Employing Speech Act Theory for Interactive Pictures

	> Interactive Graphics in Mixed-Media Presentations

	> Information Visualization with Interactive Systems

	> Pragmatic-Based Selection Methods for Picture Databases

	> Interactive Pictures and Computer Art

The thematic issue is particularly intended as the attempt to offer a
clear and easily understandable summary of the state of the art of
research on interactive images and pictorial pragmatics in
computational visualistics for picture scientists of the other
disciplines. The authors are therefore advised to keep in mind that
they write for an interdisciplinary audience.

Submitted papers should not exceed about 50 000 characters. They may
rather be richly illustrated. Peer reviewing follows the system
established for IMAGE. Before the final publishing, the authors will
have the opportunity to access per Internet the other contributions to
the special issue, to comment on them, and to co-ordinate their papers
with the others.

An extended version of the CfP for printing can be found at: http://www.jrjs.de/Work/Projects/Image/Call%20for%20PapersE2.pdf
.  Thank you also for forwarding this call for papers to other
researchers interested.

Please submit  preferably in electronic form, e.g., as an RTF file
 your paper till September 1st, 2008 to the editorial board of IMAGE
