=== CALL FOR PAPERS === AVI 2018 Workshop on Visual Interfaces for Big Data Environments in Industrial Applications Date and Location: 29 May 2018 in Resort Riva del Sole, Castiglione della Pescaia, (Italy) Website: http://visbia.mediadesign-tud.de/ <http://visbia.mediadesign-tud.de/> Industrial applications can benefit considerably from the overwhelming amount of still growing resources such as websites, images, texts, and videos that the internet offers today. In order to leverage this potential, these applications need to address the Big Data Problem, which not only consists of the handling of this immense volume of data. Data needs to be processed, cleaned, and presented in a user-friendly, intuitive, and interactive way. This workshop targets Visual Big Data Interfaces in industrial contexts such as e-commerce, e-learning and business intelligence. It addresses interfaces for three different user groups: data scientists, data workers and end users. Based on these three user groups and the described issues, the workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussing research questions and solutions in industrial applications. === IMPORTANT DATES === March 25th, 2018: Workshop submission deadline April 25th, 2018: Acceptance notifications sent out by e-mail May 16th, 2018: Camera-ready submissions of accepted papers May 29th, 2018: Workshop at AVI 2018 in Castiglione della Pescaia === WORKSHOP TOPICS === Based on these three user groups, the workshop is intended to provide a forum for discussing research questions and solutions in industrial applications. Contributions should address one ore more of the following topics: * Visual Interfaces for Big Data Landscapes * Visual Search Interfaces * Visualization Tools for enabling Human-in-the-loop Processes * Interactive Processes for Data Integration and Cleansing * Visual and Interactive Support in Big Data and Recommender Systems * Best Practices for Representing Heterogeneous Data Sources * Integration of Implicit and Explicit User Feedback * Industrial Use Cases in the Mentioned Fields === SUBMISSIONS === We invite position papers between 4 and 6 pages in length. All submissions must be formatted according to the ACM SIG format available at: https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template <https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template>.

Call for Papers - VISSOFT 2018: 6th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization
by Andreas Kerren 08 Mar '18

08 Mar '18

Sorry if you have received multiple copies of this email ======================================================================= Call for Papers VISSOFT 2018 6th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization September 24-25, 2018 - Madrid, Spain http://vissoft18.etsii.urjc.es ======================================================================= Software visualization is a broad research area whose general goal is to enhance and promote the theory, realization, and evaluation of approaches to visually encode and analyze software systems, including software development practices, evolution, structure, and software runtime behavior. Software visualization is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from information visualization and computer graphics and applying these in the software engineering domain. The VISSOFT conference is principally a venue for publishing and discussing research related to software visualization. VISSOFT brings together a community of researchers from software engineering, information visualization, computer graphics, and human-computer interaction to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to software visualization. This year’s VISSOFT, co-held with ICSME, encourages a variety of submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems using visualization. This includes technical papers, empirical studies, applications, case studies, and papers that present novel ideas and tools. VISSOFT topics of interest include: * Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for analysis of software engineering data. This includes source code, dependencies, repositories, developer social networks like StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation, runtime logs, and DevOps data. * Visualization to support software development activities, including design, requirements engineering, program comprehension, software testing, and debugging. * Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization * Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education * Integration of software visualization tools with development environments * Empirical evaluation of software visualizations * Industrial experience with using software visualization * Applications of new technologies to enhance software visualization, including virtual reality, augmented reality, gamification, and machine learning. We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results. Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to technical papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas or Emerging Results (NIER) track and a Tools track. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. == Technical papers == A technical paper contribution must describe an in-depth and mature research result relevant to software visualization. The content of a technical paper can be at a maximum 10 pages long (including all figures, tables, and appendices). However, the 10 page limit does not include the bibliography, which is not limited in length. The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors who wish to submit a video can submit the video together with their paper if the size of the video is smaller than 50 MB, otherwise a URL to the video should be provided. Authors will be given the opportunity to provide a response to reviewer requests for clarifications before a final decision is made. After the notification, authors can also submit an artifact (tool, data, model, etc.). The following section provides more info about it. Important Dates: Abstract submission date: May 1, 2018 Paper submission date: May 8, 2018 Author response period: June 1 - June 5, 2018 Notification: June 15, 2018 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2018 == Artifacts == Traditionally, technical research papers are published without including any artifacts (such as tools, data, models, videos, etc.), even though the artifacts may serve as crucial and detailed evidence for the quality of the results that the associated paper offers. Following the effort initiated at ESEC/FSE’11, authors of accepted technical papers at VISSOFT 2018 can have their artifacts evaluated by the program committee. Positively evaluated artifacts will be reflected in the paper publication, presentation, and be formally announced during the conference. A paper with an accepted artifact will have five extra minutes of presentation which can be used to present the artifact. The authors will also be invited to demo the artifact during the interactive informal demo session organized for the tool demo track. Given the short time between the acceptance notification and the deadline to submit the artifact, we suggest the authors to start preparing it beforehand. Finally, for more information about the artifact evaluation process visit http://www.artifact-eval.org. Important Dates: Artifact submission: June 22, 2018 Artifact notification: July 11, 2018 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2018 == NIER and Tool papers== We accept two types of paper submissions: NIER contributions (New Ideas and Emerging Results) and Tool contributions. The NIER contributions describe work-in-progress and preliminary exciting results. Authors should include open questions and even provocative hypotheses to get early feedback on their research ideas or even support through new research collaborations. NIER papers have to be maximum 5 pages long (including bibliography). Tool contributions describe the design or actual utilization of software visualization tools, with a focus on relevant tool construction aspects or the use of the tool for gaining new insights. Authors should be prepared to demonstrate their tool at the conference. The submission may also contain a link to a screencast (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo video). Tools papers have to be maximum 5 pages long (including bibliography). Important Dates: Paper submission date: June 11, 2018 Notification: July 2, 2018 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2018 == Organizing Committee == General Co-Chairs: J.
