From stefano.foresti at utah.edu Wed May 28 10:01:51 2003 From: stefano.foresti at utah.edu (Stefano Foresti) Date: Fri Oct 14 10:02:22 2005 Subject: [InfoVis:] VIKE 03 - CFP In-Reply-To: Message-ID: [InfoVis List: subscription info at the end of the message] ******************CALL FOR PAPERS*********************** 1st Workshop on Visualizing Information in Knowledge Engineering (VIKE 03) at the 2nd International Conference on Knowledge Capture (KCAP) 25-26 October 2003, Sanibel Island, Florida, USA Workshop URL: http://www.cs.uvic.ca/~nernst/vike/ Objectives The goal of this workshop is to explore cognitive issues in knowledge engineering processes and tools, and to examine where techniques from the field of information visualization might help with these issues. Knowledge engineering is often a complex area for end-user and engineer alike. We anticipate the workshop will be of interest to several groups: * professionals interested in improving knowledge capture technology, particularly in the areas of tool adoption and usability; * developers of information visualization solutions to knowledge engineering domains; * people with interests in the area of cognitive support for complex tasks. For example, a researcher who has created a knowledge sketching tool will be interested to discover how this tool may be combined with information visualization techniques in order to improve the usability and utility of the tool for the end-user. Knowledge engineering is seeing more and more interest from communities outside AI, computer science, and logic, particularly due to emerging Semantic Web technologies. To better support the various processes involved in knowledge engineering, techniques from the field of information visualization can be very helpful. Information visualization techniques provide a means to make discoveries, make decisions, and provide explanations about data, in a way which leverages innate human spatial reasoning abilities. For example, humans can interpret information represented as complex pictures much more easily than they can lines of text. The workshop will be concerned with, but not necessarily limited to, the following topics: * Visual support for knowledge engineering processes * Visual query creation * Knowledge discovery through interactive exploration * Information Visualization and the Semantic Web * Scalability of visual representations of complex data Dates * Deadline for paper submissions: 0700 UTC July 14th, 2003 * Notification of acceptance: August 29th, 2003 * Camera ready deadline: September 16th, 2003 * Workshop: October 25-26th, 2003 Format This will be a full-day workshop that combines interactivity with formal presentations. We will begin with introductory remarks (and possibly a yet to be determined keynote speaker or tutorial), followed by presentations by accepted speakers. These talks will be organized into distinct themes based on submissions. There will be plenty of opportunity for discussion after each presentation and at breaks. Workshop Committee Margaret-Anne Storey, Assistant Professor, U. Victoria, Canada Dr. Storey's main research interests involve understanding how people solve complex tasks, and designing technologies to facilitate navigating and understanding large information spaces.

We published the first volume in 2002, and are very keen that you consider adding a link to its URL to the InfoVisDigest. We believe that the Digest is an ideal forum for promoting the journal to the appropriate community. One of the most unique and exciting features of IVS is its unique standing in the broad field of computer science. Up until now, information visualization research has been disseminated in a wide range of publications, however few have been devoted to information visualization as a whole. The journal evolved out of the recognition that this evolving community needed a single, comprehensive forum for that would allow researchers and practitioners to keep up-to-date with the latest advances in the field. IVS provides a single focus, meeting the need for a dedicated, comprehensive and archival forum. The journal publishes the latest developments and their impact on "real-world" problems; it covers a variety of aspects of information visualization, from fundamental research to practical applications. It provides a forum that can accommodate not only the unique focus of information visualization, but also the diverse interests of researchers and practitioners from an increasing range of disciplines. All articles are blind peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers, including one Associate Editor. I would take this opportunity to point out the excellent geographic diversity of Information Visualization's authors over the past year, resulting in a rich selection of global perspectives. 50% of authors have been from the US, however the remainder have been split as follows: Austria: 20% Australia: 6% Canada: 6% Japan: 6% UK: 4% Germany: 4% UAE: 2% Netherlands: 2% IVS has an exceptional Editorial Board, featuring key figures from the field of information visualization, including names such as Ben Shneiderman of the University of Maryland (who is the Advisory Editor), Matthew Chalmers of Glasgow University in the UK, Daniel Keim of the University of Constance in Germany and Jim Thomas of the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory. In addition, the journal has published a fine array of authors over the last year, including Pak Chung Wong and Robert Spence.

The datasets have been UPDATED as needed, based on your feedback. Requirements and encouragements have been CLARIFIED You can now download and distribute the Contest Flyer to post on your door. >>> "Partial answers" are acceptable but we encourage you to address all three datasets/problems <<< In other words, if the tool you use or your new design only partially addresses the problem or handles only some of the datasets or tasks, it is still useful to hear about your work and what your tool can do! If you have decided to focus on one of the datasets, we strongly encourage you to at least demonstrate how your tool would display the other datasets or a subset of. The quality of the written analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of your tool for given datasets and tasks will be a judging criteria. So don't be shy... and participate! >>> "Any" tool or technique is interesting for comparison <<< In other words this exercise of comparing techniques will benefit from having submissions using old or specialized tools (e.g. outliners, existing phylogeny tools) or even your dream design drawn on paper! >>> All accepted entries will be made available after the contest in a repository of results.
