CALL FOR PAPERS
2nd Visual Information Expert Workshop VIEW2007
Hungary December 3-4, 2007
www.view2007.eu
Technical sponsor: IEEE EMBS
Conference language: English
The first Visual Information Expert Workshop explored the basis of a
pixelization paradigm. Pixelization methods associate an informational
entity with
a single pixel so that a set of information entities can be translated to an
image.
Pixelization has proven to be an effective yet underutilized visualization
method and thus needs further investigation to exploit its potential.
During the first workshop, the following fields of inquiry were opened:
* Pixelization theory, including mathematics of pixelization, pixelization
per se and pixelization related to multidimensional data.
* Pixelization applications, including spatial pixelization, temporal
pixelization and qualitative pixelization.
* Pixelization and Neurocognition.
A 2nd workshop will be held to address these and other issues in
visualization. Specifically, this years VIEW will be open to all 2D
visualization methods.
Non-exhaustively, example topics include:
* Mathematics, Discrete Geometry and Statistics
* Information sciences: computer sciences, Data mining, Web sciences,
Networks
* Physics
* Medicine and Biology
* Economics, Management
* Psychology, Neuro-Cognitive sciences, Sociology
* Engineering
* Geography, Demography
Important Dates:
* Paper abstracts: June 5, 2007.
* Papers: June 15, 2007.
* Notifications: July 25, 2007.
* Camera ready copy: September 5, 2007.
The papers of the conference will be published in a book edited by Springer
(LNCS).

has been elected as the winner of the 2006 James Chen Annual Award
for Best Journal Article. It was selected based on nominations from
journal reviewers, editorial board members, and a subsequent
comparative review by an award committee chaired by Judy Kay from the
University of Sydney, Australia.
The UMUAI annual best paper award has been donated by the Chen family
in commemoration of James R. Chen, a creative researcher in the area
of user modeling and information retrieval, and twice a UMUAI author.
It carries a cash prize of U.S. $1,000.
UMUAI provides an interdisciplinary forum for the dissemination of
new research results on interactive computer systems that can be
adapted or adapt themselves to their current users, and on the role
of user models in the adaptation process. More information is
