Workshop CFP: The Role of Theory in Information Visualization (VisWeek 2010)
by Robert Kosara 25 Aug '10

25 Aug '10

Information visualization is a very applied field that prides itself on its practical applications and real-world scenarios. Ignoring the theoretical side is dangerous, however, because it limits our ability to distill useful information about the foundations of the field from the practical work being done, and limits our understanding of how and why our own creations work. The goal of this workshop at VisWeek 2010 is to bring together researchers interested in the theoretical aspects of visualization, define the field, discuss ideas and approaches, and get the word out about the importance of theoretical research in information visualization. Topics include: * Perceptual research * Design studies * Ways of systematically exploring the visualization design space * Methodological work: how do we do our work, and how can we improve our processes? * Representation, structure, metaphors: how and why do we attach meaning to visual shapes? * Reference datasets and tasks Also, how do we make it easier to publish this kind of work? What makes for a good theory paper? Can a theory paper stand on its own, without an application or immediate use? Etc. The workshop will be based mostly on discussions. We invite speakers to submit short (2-page) position statements. A small number of these will be invited to give very brief (3-minute) presentations at the workshop. The goal is not to present large bodies of work, but to have the presentations spark discussions. Deadline: *September 13, 2010 * Submit your 2-page position paper by emailing it to infovistheoryws(a)me.com <mailto:infovistheoryws@me.com> For more information, a link to the formatting instructions, etc., please see http://eagereyes.org/infovis-theory-workshop Robert Kosara T.J.

CFP - IEEE Pacific Vis 2011
by Jean-Daniel Fekete 18 Aug '10

18 Aug '10

2011 IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium The 4th IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium (PacificVis 2011) will be held in Hong Kong during March 1 to 4, 2011. Visualization has become an increasingly important research area due to its wide range of applications in many disciplines. PacificVis is an IEEE sponsored international visualization symposium held in the Asia-Pacific region, with the objective to foster greater exchange between visualization researchers and practitioners, and to draw more researchers in the Asia-Pacific region to enter this rapidly growing area of research. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of visualization. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: * Visualization Taxonomies and Models * Spatial Data in Visualization * Information Visualization * Display and Interaction Technology * Evaluation * Perception & Cognition * Hardware for Visualization * Large Data Visualization * Visual Analysis and Knowledge Discovery * Flow Visualization * Applications * Graph Drawing * Visual analytics * Collaboration / Social Visualization * Visualization of Biological / Business / Communication / Social Networks * Security Visualization All papers accepted by IEEE Pacific Visualization 2011 will be published in hardcopy proceedings by IEEE and also included in the IEEE Digital Library. Selected research papers of outstanding quality will be invited to submit an extended version to *IEEE Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics*. Top application papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of *IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications* on visualization applications and design studies. Important Dates Paper submission deadline September 24, 2010, 11:59pm (GMT +8:00) Notification of acceptance November 11, 2010 Camera-ready papers due December 3, 2010 Symposium March 1 - 4, 2011, 2011 The Symposium website: http://i.cs.hku.hk/~pvis2011/ <http://i.cs.hku.hk/%7Epvis2011/> Program Co-Chairs Giuseppe Di Battista, Roma Tre University Jean-Daniel Fekete, INRIA Huamin Qu, Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
