Title: "New Challenges in Computer Graphics, Robot Vision, Visual Interfaces and Information Sciences"
Handbook Aims
It is towards those novel pathways or areas to which the content of this handbook is aimed/targeted. In this sense we have established four great cardinal points to orient the contributions and which are tending to generate different perspectives or 360º visions of mankind’s various digital domains.
That is, unions or intersections of the different theories, techniques, experiments, results, future research, etc, which taken together enrich the daily growth and evolution of the digital pixel, and all its derivations. The diversity of topics and listings of the denoted chapters likewise denotes the wealth and breadth of the compilation of research works that is attempted. In each separate listing are enumerated some of the main, secondary and tertiary issues with respect to the aforementioned change variables and in an alphabetical order. At first sight such a cornucopia of encyclopaedic content may be a little too rich and/or extensive for some, but it is necessary to remember that our purpose is to obtain a panoramic view of the four central axes: Computer Graphics, Information Sciences, Visual Interfaces and Robot Vision.
For this reason each of the topics have been broken down further into simpler subsets or keywords, which doesn’t mean that other great challenges for the short, middle and long term future related to the four central axes have been excluded. Besides, an extensive listing connotes and reflects the requirement and also skill necessary to find intersection zones of the disciplines among the different domains, fields, and specialities; which at the same time potentially boosts and merges the formerly different scientific views, and achieves the worthy and rewarding end purpose of improving the quality of life of the current and potential users of the interactive systems.
We encourage submission from all areas related to information sciences, computer graphics, robotics vision, and adaptative interfaces such as information society, image processing, computational geometry, computer-aided geometric design, rendering, illumination, computer animation, synthetic characters, behaviour computer animation, adaptable robotics, robot simulations, natural language, etc. and related disciplines.
Besides, the present handbook encourages high quality chapters to eliminate uncertainty of meaning and increasingly unify all participants in human-computer interaction, human-computer communication, human-robot interaction, value-sensitive design, computer science, user interface engeneering, new information and communication technologies, for instance.

Submissions:
Two-stage submission: First, interested researchers and practitioners are invited to submit a chapter proposal clearly stating your focused domain problems and contributions related to one of the above topics due on *** Closed *** ; second, authors of accepted proposals will be notified by "between one and three week/s after the submission/s" about the status of their proposals and sent chapter organizational guidelines. Full chapters are due by *** Closed ***. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a triple-blind review basis. The handbook is scheduled to be published in 2015 (Due to multiple request, the editorial advisory board has decided to extend the deadlines) by Blue Herons Editions (Canada, Argentina, Spain and Italy).
