*BELIV 2010 - CHI 2010 Workshop*
BEyond time and errors: novel evaLuation methods for Information
Visualization
A Workshop of the ACM CHI 2010 Conference
April 10-11, 2010 - Altanta, GA, USA
WORKSHOP WEBSITE
http://www.beliv.org/beliv2010/
DESCRIPTION
The purpose of information visualization is to provide users with accurate
visual representations of data and natural interaction tools to support
discovery and sense making. These activities are often exploratory in nature
and can take place over days, weeks or months and rarely follow a predefined
or linear workflow. While the overall use of information visualizations is
accelerating, the growth of techniques for the evaluation of these systems
has been slow. To understand these complex behaviors, evaluation efforts
should be targeted at the component level, the system level, and the work
environment level. The commonly used evaluation metrics such as task time
completion and number of errors appear insufficient to quantify the quality
of an information visualization system; thus the name of the workshop:
“beyond time and errors …”.
BELIV 2010 aims at gathering researchers in the field to continue the
exploration of novel evaluation methods, and to structure the knowledge on
evaluation in information visualization around a schema, where researchers
can easily identify unsolved problems and research gaps.
This is the third edition of the BELIV workshop series. Based on feedback
from past workshop participants, BELIV 2010 will be a *2-day workshop* to
provide a more interactive environment where participants can produce a
research agenda to be published online.
DATES
Deadline for submissions: November 30, 2009 (5:00pm PDT)
Notification of acceptance: December 21, 2009
Camera ready papers due: Mid-March
Workshop: April 10-11, 2008
HOW TO PARTICIPATE

vizNET'09, Loughborough University, 29th-30th October.
The 3rd Interdisciplinary Conference on Intersections of Visualization
Practices and Techniques
----------------
Description
----------------
vizNET 2009 is annual conference designed to help researchers and
postgraduates within UK academia utilise new visualization techniques
and software to improve their own analysis and research. The two day
workshop aims to introduce leading visualization techniques and
improve understanding about state of the art developments for both
novice and more experienced users.
visualization is an important tool for communicating and analysing
complex information in many disciplines. Advances in numerical
simulations and imaging techniques have provided scientists with a new
wealth of detail into the natural world, but also new challenges in
visualization analysis. This year the conference will have a special
focus on applied science and engineering disciplines, specifically
targeting large data set problems that are often encountered within
these fields.
The two day conference aims to introduce leading visualization
techniques and improve understanding about state of the art
developments for both novice and more experienced users.
This year the conference will cover a range of topics including:
* Intersections in visualizations practice
* Modelling and Simulation
* A rough guide to data visualization
* High-Performance visualization using Cloud-Computing
* Distributed visualization and the Grid
* GPU-based visualization and computing techniques and their
application
* Giga-Pixel display walls and applications.
* visualization frameworks including VTK / Paraview, Visit, and AVS
* Live high-performance visualization demonstrations and showcases
Full details of the event can be found in the conference flyer: http://www.viznet.ac.uk/files/viznet_flyer_viznet2009.pdf
-----------------
Registration
-----------------
Registration is free for all UK university postgraduates and staff,
however space is limited. Please note registration closes on the 25th
of October.

Organisation
------------------
vizNET is a collaboration between a number of visualization centres in
the UK that has been established to share knowledge, communicate best
practice between application domains, provide training and support to
researchers in visualization.
The visualization support network spans across the UK academic
research community including centres at Loughborough University,
University of Leeds, Manchester University, Cardiff University, the
Science & Technologies Facilities Council and King's College London
vizNET is funded by the JISC Support of Research Committee.

GeoVA(T): GeoSpatial Visual Analytics: Focus on Time
http://geoanalytics.net/GeoVA2010
Workshop at AGILE http://agile2010.dsi.uminho.pt/ , 11 May 2010,
and
special issue of
IJGIS - Int J GIScience
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/13658816.html
tentative publication date: September 2010
The workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops on
- Visualization, Analytics and Spatial Decision Support at the
GIScience’2006 conference,
- Geovisualization of Dynamics, Movement and Change at AGILE'2008,
- GeoSpatial Visual Analytics at GIScience'2008.
Selected papers from the previous workshops, including research agenda
papers, were published as special issues of
- IJGIS, 2007, v.21(8), 2007
- Information Visualization, 2008, v.7 (3/4)
- CaGIS, 2009, v.36 (3)
The theme for the workshop and this special issue of International
Journal of Geographical Information Science is the use of GeoVisual
Analytics approaches for exploring and analysing large data sets with
both spatial and temporal components. Original papers are solicited in
this area. In particular, we encourage innovative papers detailing
tight integration of visualization, data mining, database processing,
optimization and other computational processing methods.
The workshop will provide participants with the possibility to present
ongoing and developing work without committing to a full journal paper.
The journal special issue will provide participants with the
opportunity of reporting their work in a refereed journal.
Example topics include, but are not limited to, the visualization and
interactive analysis of large data sets representing:
- individual and group movement behaviours, either in physical or
virtual spaces
- dynamics of geo-localised sensor data
- spatio-temporal events
- remotely sensed data, multi-scale and multi-temporal
- large high-dimensional data sets in space and time
- streams of spatio-temporal data
as well as
- models and semantics of time in geospatial visual analytics
- knowledge construction and reasoning about spatial and temporal
phenomena and processes
- application of innovative visual analytics methods to real-life problems
