============================================================================
The VDA 2011 conference covers all research and development and application
aspects of data visualization and, more recently, visual analytics
(http://nvac.pnl.gov) Since the first VDA conference was held in 1994, the
annual event has grown steadily into a major venue for visualization
researchers and practitioners from around the world to present their work
and share their experience every year. We invite you to participate by
submitting your original research as full paper or posters and join us in
San Francisco, CA.
Both paper and poster submissions will be peer reviewed. The average paper
acceptance rate of the recent VDA conferences was about 50%. Papers
presented at this conference will be published in a bound proceedings
published by IS&T/SPIE. Authors of the best papers will be invited to revise
and extend their work for publication in a special issue of Information
Visualization (http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ivs/index.html)
Since the term "data visualization" was found in the literature in the early
90's, it has gradually evolved into a broad area of research and
development. The data visualization Wikipedia page
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_visualization) and its references provide
a glimpse into its history of innovation and the latest cutting-edge
technology. Papers and posters are solicited on all topics of data
visualization. They include, but are not limited to:
* Internet imaging, medical imaging, image processing
* Biomedical visualization and applications
* Internet, web, and security visualizations
* Analysis techniques and data mining
* Data exploration using classical and novel approaches
* Databases and visualization
* High-performance computing and parallel rendering
* Tools and applications exemplified by case studies
* Virtual environments and data visualization
* Information and scientific visualization
* Volume and flow visualization
* Interaction paradigms and human factors

Dear Colleagues,
I have the regret to inform you that Jacques Bertin, author of the
well-known book "Semiology of Graphics" and pioneer of the domain of
visual representation of abstract data for exploration passed away on
May 3rd at the age of 92.
Jacques Bertin was a cartographer by training, but he expanded the field
and created and improved a very large number of graphical
representations of abstract data. His books are incredibly rich and
will remain a source of inspiration for several generations of
visualization researchers and practitioners.

Assistant/Associate Professor in HCI and Visualization
CyberInfrastructure Division of the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute
at Virginia Tech
Position Description
The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) is a world-class research institute in the life sciences developed in a transdisciplinary team research model. The Institute's mission is to solve some of society's most important problems in the life sciences through transdisciplinary research and education.
To support the growth of its transdisciplinary research portfolio, VBI's CyberInfrastructure Division is looking for an Assistant or Associate Professor to lead Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) and Visualization efforts.
The Assistant/Associate Professor will be responsible for developing and conducting a vigorous, extramurally funded research program related to HCI and Visualization for life sciences; the securing of grant and contract funding for the research program; integrating HCI/Visualization practices throughout appropriate CyberInfrastructure program areas (infectious disease, and translational informatics); responsible for providing leadership, mentoring, and developing a team of researchers and students engaged in HCI/Visualization/Life Science research; responsible for defining, designing, and evaluating innovative user interface solutions using a transdisciplinary scientific approach for projects with HCI/Visualization needs; and pursuing professional activities as expected from a professional computer scientist.
Qualifications
Qualified candidates must have a Ph.D. in Computer Science, Human Factors or other discipline closely related to HCI; demonstrated record of publication in peer-reviewed journals; demonstrated capability of working closely with software engineers and life scientists (researchers, clinicians or epidemiologists) on user interface design and development efforts; demonstrated experience in interfacing and collaborating with the scientific community; capable of working in a team environment and a strong inclination for trans-disciplinary science; and possesses creativity, independence, and selfmotivation with good communication skills. Preferences will be given to candidates having experience in both basic HCI/Visualization research and applying HCI to real-world bioinformatics software development environments, as well as evidence of successful grant writing experience. Applicants at the Associate level must have an extramurally funded research program in place.
