This book constitutes the proceedings of the 12th International Symposium on Smart Graphics, SG 2014, held in Taipei, Taiwan, in August 2014. The 14 full and 4 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 26 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: data visualization; sketching and multi-touch interaction; aesthetics and smart tools for artists; smart tools for 3D contents; and posters.

This book constitutes the proceedings of the 13th International Symposium on Smart Graphics, SG 2015, held in Chengdu, China, in August 2015.The 17 full and 3 short papers presented in this volume were carefully reviewed and selected from 35 submissions. They are organized in topical sections named: graphics, sketching and visualization, automation and evaluation, image processing, and posters and demo session.

For centuries, artists and designers have been creating communicative graphics. With the advent of new forms of media, the emergence of paradigms such as ubiquitous computing, and the rapid evolution of interaction devices, there is a continuous cycle of renewal of the technologies and methods to support artists, interaction designers and developers. Developingnewapproachesrequiresanunderstandingofthe fundamentals of perception and cognition as they relate to interaction and communication te- nologies, together with arti?cial intelligence and computer graphics techniques to automate reasoning and enhance cognition. Smart Graphics is in essence an interdisciplinary endeavor and brings together the ?elds of computer graphics, arti?cial intelligence, cognitive science, graphic design and ?ne art. The International Symposium on Smart Graphics 2008 was held on August 27–29 in Rennes, France. It was the ninth event in a series which originally started in 2000 as an American Association for Arti?cial Intelligence Spring Symposium and has taken place every year since then. Due to the high quality of the papers submitted this year, the ProgramCommittee decided to accept 17 fullpapers(insteadoftheusual15),9shortpapersand3systemdemonstrations. The acceptance rate for full papers was 34%. This year’s meeting included a discussion as to the nature of the shape, contentandfutureoftheevent.Representativesfromdi?erentcommunitieswere invitedtogivetheiropinions,andtheorganizingcommitteewouldliketowarmly thank them here. Such questions as the ongoing viability of the symposium and theconsequencesofco-locatingSmartGraphicswithotherlargerresearchevents led to interesting debates and have prepared the groundwork for what could be the future of the Smart Graphics conferenceseries.

This book constitutes the refereed proceedings of the 10th International Symposium on Smart Graphics, SG 2009, held in Salamanca, Spain in May 2009. The 15 revised full papers together with 8 short papers and 2 demonstrations presented were carefully reviewed and selected. The papers are organized in topical sections on visual analytics, user studies, human computer interaction, computer graphics and artificial intelligence, as well as virtual and mixed reality.
