The core idea behind the Smart Graphics symposia is to bring together - searchers and practitioners from the ?eld of computer graphics, artificial Inteligence, cognitivescience, graphic design and the ?nearts. Eacho fthese disciplines contributes to what we mean by the term “smart graphics”: the intelligent p- cess of creating efective, expressive and esthetic graphical presentation. While artists and designers have been creating communicative graphics for centuries, arti?cial intelligence focuses on automating this process by means of the c- puter. While computer graphics provides the tools for creating graphicalpres- tations in the ?rst place, the cognitive sciences contribute the rules and models ofperceptionnecessaryforthedesignofe?ectivegraphics.Theexchangeofideas between these four disciplines has led to many exciting and fruitful discussions, andthesmartgraphicssymposiadrawtheirlivelinessfromaspiritofopenminds and the willingness to learn from and share with other disciplines.
