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 or the editor of the special issue Jörg R.J.
