Initiated by Andreas Butz, Antonio Kru¨ger, and Patrick Olivier, Smart Graphics has been continued as a series of annualevents inAsia,NorthAmerica,andEuropeformore thana decadenow. The 11th International Symposium on Smart Graphics was held in Bremen, Germany, during July 18–20,2011. Frieder Nake, one of the prominent pioneers of computer art, provided a friendly welcome and invited the Smart Graphics community to the compArt Center of Excellence Digital Art at the University of Bremen. In an evening talk, he also shared insights from his interdisciplinary activities and research in computer art, computer graphics, human–computer interaction, and semiotics. Tracy Hammond, director of the Sketch Regnition Lab at the Texas A&M University, kindly followed our invitation to give an evening talk on sketch- based interfaces and intelligent user interfaces. Tracy Hammond holds a PhD from MIT where she worked with Randall Davis in the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. For their dedicated attention and careful review work, we sincerely thank our ProgramCommittee members and externalreviewers—expertsin computer graphics, artificial intelligence, human–computer interaction, interface design, and other areas relevant to Smart Graphics. Several authors reported that the extensivereviewstheyreceivedcontainedveryinsightfulremarksandreferences thathelpedtoimprovetheirwork.Threereviewswerecollectedforeachsubmis- sion throughout all categories (full papers, short papers, and artistic works or system demonstrations).

Smart environments integrate a multitude of different de- viceensemblesandaimtofacilitateproactiveassistanceinmulti-display scenarios. However, the integration of existing software, especially visu- alization systems, to take advantage of these novel capabilities is still a challenging task. In this paper we present a smart view management concept for an integration that combines and displays views of different systemsinsmartmeetingrooms.Consideringthesevaryingrequirements arising in such environments we provide a smart viewing management taking e.g. the dynamic user positions, view directions and even the se- mantics of views to beshown into account. Keywords: viewmanagement,smartenvironment,layout,displaymap- ping, smart configuration. 1 Introduction Smart environments are physical spaces collecting and processing information about the users and their environment to estimate the intended situation and adapting the environment and its behavior in order to reach an intended state ([6,19,15]).Smartenvironmentsfocusonheterogeneousad-hocdeviceassemblies consisting of multiple sensors, displays, software infrastructure, etc. ([11,5]) In particular,smartmeetingroomsareusedtosupportgroupsworkingtogetherto reachacommongoal[17].Here,threetypicalscenarioscanbedistinguished:(1) the presenter scenario,including one dedicated presenter imparting information totheaudience,(2)theexplorationscenario,agroupworkingtogethertoexplore data to gain insights and (3) the work group scenario, composed of small sub- groups working together discussing information. However, these scenarios are not static and can alter dynamically. To give an example, a group of climate researchers may join up for a meeting. First, one group member presents an agenda for the meeting, the topics to be discussed and further information - the presenter scenario. Then, the group splits into sub-groups to discuss the information and gain insights - work group scenario. After that, the leaders of the sub groups present the insights they acquired - presenter scenario, followed by an exploration session of the whole team - exploration scenario.

However, presenting and sharing information with other users requires combin- ing information on public displays (projectors, large monitors).
