CALL FOR PAPERS: NEW PERSPECTIVES ON COLOUR
As part of the AISB-50 Annual Convention 2014 to be held at Goldsmiths, University of London, on April 1st-4th 2014 (http://aisb50.org/). The convention is organised by the Society for the Study of Artificial Intelligence and Simulation of Behaviour (AISB), http://www.aisb.org.uk/
SYMPOSIUM WEBSITE: http://doc.gold.ac.uk/~mas01kd/aisb50/
OVERVIEW
Understanding the way in which we experience colour is a topic that crosses many disciplines. From scientific measurement to subjective phenomena, colour is as diverse an area of study as Artificial Intelligence itself. Colour permeates all aspects of our daily lives and yet still contains many unknowns. If we can gain a better understanding of how we perceive colour then we can use this information to drive advancement in technology, both in the machine processing of colour information and in simulation of the human visual system. Instead of (re)attempting to define how we experience colour, this symposium asks how we can explore and use what knowledge we already have, particularly across a wide range of disciplines.
TOPICS OF INTEREST
This symposium will offer the chance to explore the usefulness of our knowledge of colour from an interdisciplinary perspective. We encourage contributions from a wide range of fields such as psychology, philosophy, neurology and colour science through to (but by no means limited to) computer graphics and vision, linguistics, art and the Classics. There are no prescribed topics of interest: we welcome proposals from anyone in any discipline whose research is concerned with the perception, understanding and use of colour. It is hoped that engaging a broad variety of disciplines will enable all participants to reflect on insights that may not be obvious or prevalent within their own research.
The symposium will be organized around talks (the accepted full papers) and an informal discussion. The outcome of this symposium will be a broadened perspective of approaches to colour and a chance to foster new interdisciplinary research connections and collaborations.
SUBMISSION AND PUBLICATION
Submissions must be full papers and should be sent via EasyChair:

We request that submitted papers are limited to eight pages. Each paper will receive at least two reviews. Selected papers will be published in the general proceedings of the AISB convention, with the proviso that at least ONE author attends the symposium in order to present the paper and participate in general symposium activities.
