The Call for Submissions has been posted at https://scimaps.org/call-for-macroscopes and we welcome your help in spreading the word. Submissions are due by Feb 15, 2022. More information on maps and macroscopes included in the exhibit can be found at https://scimaps.org interviews with select map and macroscope makers are at https://scimaps.org/learning-center/maker-videos. Call for Macroscope Tools is below. Thank you and kind regards, Katy Bӧrner, Lisel Record, & Todd Theriault Curators, Mapping Science exhibit, http://scimaps.org 2022 Call for Macroscopes Background and Goals The Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit is designed to open people’s minds and hearts to the value, complexity, and beauty of science and technology. We are inviting authors of interactive data visualizations, also called macroscopes, to submit their work for inclusion in the Places & Spaces: Mapping Science exhibit. IMPORTANT DATES Submissions due: Feb 15, 2022 Mapmakers notified: Apr 1, 2022 Submit final entries: May 30, 2022 Ready for display: Aug 31, 2022 Macroscopes are software tools that help us focus on patterns in data that are too large or complex to see with the naked eye. The idea of the macroscope was explored in 1979 by Joël de Rosnay in a book titled The Macroscope: A New World Scientific System [1]. To meet the challenges posed by the rapidly increasing abundance, diversity, and complexity of information, de Rosnay proposed the macroscope, a tool for observing “what is at once too great, too slow, and too complex for our eyes.” Like microscopes and telescopes, macroscopes can startle us when we point them at objects we thought we already knew. Through their lens, we may see familiar structures in a new light or gain a fresh perspective on an old process. This year’s call for submissions to the Places & Spaces exhibit celebrates the decidedly scopic feature of macroscopes. Simply put, we are looking for interactive visualizations that disrupt our old habits of seeing, that challenge our common patterns of perception in order that we might see something anew. To do so, they may use novel datasets and algorithms or employ innovative user interface designs. Places & Spaces is a traveling exhibit that currently features 100 maps and 28 interactive macroscopes from a wide range of disciplines. Since 2005, the exhibit has traveled to 28 countries and appeared in various formats at over 382 venues and events, including the Davos Economic Forum, National Academy of Sciences, and the New York Public Library. News coverage has appeared in Nature, Science, USA Today, and Wired. References [1] de Rosnay, Joël. 1979. The Macroscope: A New World Scientific System. New York: Harper & Row. Submission Details Interactive data visualizations designed for desktop, mobile, touch-enabled, and/or large (e.g., tiled wall) devices are all welcome. To be incorporated into the exhibit kiosk, macroscopes must be 1) web-based, 2) touch-enabled, 3) allowed to run inside an iframe element, 4) have CORS enabled for http://idemo.cns. iu.edu, and 5) served over HTTPS. Macroscopes will be deployed on a 46” multi-touch 1920 x 1080 display running Ubuntu 20.04 LTS and Chrome 91. Each macroscope should be fully functional for at least two years. Macroscopes might be deployed using other hardware, please contact the curatorial team to discuss options. Macroscope authors should be available to work with the exhibit staff over a period of three months to prepare the macroscopes for public display and travel.

Call for Papers: Graph Drawing and Network Visualization - GD 2022
by Patrizio Angelini 22 Mar '22

22 Mar '22

Sorry if you have received multiple copies of this email ================================================================ Call for Papers GD 2022 30th International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization September 13-16, 2022 - Tokyo, Japan https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2022/ ================================================================ PDF version: https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2022/assets/pdfs/CallforPapers2022.pdf HTML version: https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2022/pages/cfp/ ================================================================ Graph Drawing is concerned with the geometric representation of graphs and constitutes the algorithmic core of Network Visualization. Graph Drawing and Network Visualization are motivated by applications where it is crucial to visually analyze and interact with relational datasets. Examples of such application areas include data science, social sciences, web computing, information systems, biology, geography, business intelligence, information security, or software engineering. GD has been the main annual event in this area for about 30 years. Its focus is on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of graph drawing, as well as the design of network visualization systems and interfaces. Researchers and practitioners working on any aspects of graph drawing and network visualization are invited to contribute papers and posters and to participate in the symposium and the graph drawing contest. GD 2022 will be held at the Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, on September 13-16, 2022, with a reception on the evening of September 13. A pre-conference PhD school is planned for September 12-13, 2022. While we hope that a physical conference will be possible, details of the exact format of the venue (onsite, online, hybrid) will be announced before the submission deadline. Regardless of the format, we are committed to offering remote participation for both presenters and the audience. The code of conduct for the GD conference can be found at http://graphdrawing.org/codeOfConduct.html PAPERS ------ We invite authors to submit papers describing original research of theoretical or practical significance to graph drawing and network visualization. To promote a balanced coverage of the field, GD has two distinct tracks, and papers submitted to one track will not compete with papers submitted to the other track. Regular papers must be submitted explicitly to one of the two tracks. However, all program committee members may review papers from either track. Track 1: Combinatorial and algorithmic aspects ---------------------------------------------- This track is mainly devoted to fundamental graph drawing advances, such as combinatorial aspects and algorithm design. The range of topics for this track includes (but is not limited to): * Design and analysis of graph drawing algorithms * Geometric and topological graph theory * Computational topology of graphs on surfaces * Geometric network design and optimization * Geometric computing Track 2: Experimental, applied, and network visualization aspects -------------------------------------------------------------- This track is mainly devoted to the practical aspects of graph drawing, such as the development and evaluation of network visualization algorithms, systems, and interfaces in different application areas. The range of topics for this track includes (but is not limited to): * Visualization of networks in real world applications * Engineering of graph drawing algorithms and network visualization systems * Benchmarks and experimental studies of algorithms, systems, and user interfaces for graph drawing and network visualization * Cognitive studies on network visualization readability and user interaction * Interfaces and methods for interacting with graphs and networks Authors of accepted applied papers can request the opportunity to show a demo of their software/system during the poster session. Short papers ------------ In addition to the above two tracks, there will be a separate category for short papers, describing theoretical or applied contributions of shorter length. Papers in this category will be assigned a shorter time for presentation during the conference. Submission format ----------------- All submissions must be formatted using the appropriate LaTeX style file, either gd-llncs.cls for long papers or gd-llncs-short.cls for short papers; these are derived from the style file used for the conference series Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) provided by Springer. The default margins and fonts must not be modified; in particular, the use of packages such as times.sty is not allowed. Submissions that do not comply with this format risk rejection without consideration of their merits. To promote inclusion of figures in the submitted papers, submissions will have a strict number of lines limit. Regular papers must have at most 400 lines, (excluding references and figures) and at most 14 pages (excluding references). Short papers must have at most 225 lines (excluding references and figures) and at most 7 pages (excluding references). The claims of the paper should be fully substantiated. If this information does not fit within the line/page limits, the authors should include it in a clearly marked appendix, whose length is not constrained and which the reviewers may read at their own discretion. All submissions will be handled through EasyChair at the web site https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gd2022 Posters & Contest ----------------- Submissions of posters on graph drawing, network visualization, and related areas are solicited. The poster session will provide a forum for the communication of late-breaking research results (which may also appear elsewhere) to the GD community. Authors of posters should prepare an abstract (up to 2 pages in the LNCS style) that must be submitted together with the poster itself. Details about the traditional Graph Drawing Contest held at the conference are provided on the conference web site https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2022/pages/contest/ LIGHTWEIGHT DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEW PROCESS -------------------------------- This year, for the first time in the GD conference, the review process will be handled in a “lightweight double-blind mode”. This means that authors are not allowed to reveal their identity in the paper that they submit to GD'22, but are free to disseminate draft versions of the paper prior to the conference and to give talks on the topic as they normally would. In particular, the submitted paper should not contain authors' names, affiliations, and email addresses. References to their own related work are allowed, as long as the supporting text maintains anonymity (e.g., using sentences in the third person, anonymising references). Members of the Program Committee will not have the identity of the authors of any paper revealed to them during the entire review process. To handle conflicts of interest effectively, authors will be offered the opportunity to declare conflict of interest with relevant PC members when they submit their paper. PUBLICATION: PROCEEDINGS AND SPECIAL ISSUES ----------------------- All accepted papers (including the two-page poster abstracts) will appear in the conference proceedings, published by Springer in the Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. The LNCS proceedings will be made freely accessible to the GD community upon publication and openly accessible to anyone after four years. Authors will be required to submit their accepted papers to the arXiv repository at the same time as submitting their camera-ready versions, in order to provide immediate and unrestricted open access to them. The self-archived arXiv papers shall consist of the LNCS proceedings version (identical, except for possibly changed references to the appendix resp. the arXiv version) plus an optional clearly marked appendix. This appendix could contain a long version of the entire paper or proofs that have been omitted from the main text. Subsequent submissions of revised versions of the paper to the arXiv (known as arXiv "replacements") are allowed. Upon submission of the camera-ready version of an accepted paper, the authors will be required to specify the arXiv identifier associated with the paper for inclusion in a conference index, which will be also published in the arXiv repository. Failure to comply with these guidelines will impede the publication of the paper. Each paper or poster must be presented at the conference by an author (barring unforeseen circumstances), otherwise the paper will not be included in the proceedings. Should any visa/travel restriction prevent an author from attending the conference and presenting a paper, he/she will be given ways to participate and give the talk via electronic means. Selected papers from both tracks will be invited for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Graph Algorithms and Applications (JGAA). The authors of two selected papers in Track 2 will be invited to submit a substantially extended and enhanced version of their work to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG). Invitations to the special issues will be sent at most two weeks after the conference. A TVCG papers session at the Graph Drawing conference will also feature regular TVCG papers. Please find more details at https://www.computer.org/digital-library/journals/tvcg/tvcg-partners-with-c… AWARDS ------ For each of the two tracks, the Program Committee of GD 2022 will bestow a Best Paper Award. In addition, to recognize the effort of participants to present their work and to prepare their posters in a clear and elegant way, there will be a Best Presentation Award and a Best Poster Award voted on by the GD 2022 attendees. IMPORTANT DATES --------------- Abstract submission deadline: June 1 (23:59 PDT) Paper submission deadline: June 8 (23:59 PDT) Notification of paper acceptance: July 18 Poster submission deadline: August 10 (23:59 PDT) Notification of poster acceptance: August 19 Final versions due : September 5 (23:59 PDT) Contest submission deadline: September 6 (23:59 PDT) Symposium: September 13-16 Invitations to special issues: September 30 INVITED SPEAKERS ---------------- Ulrik Brandes, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Kazuo Misue, University of Tsukuba, Japan PROGRAM COMMITTEE ----------------- Patrizio Angelini (co-chair), John Cabot University, Italy Therese Biedl, University of Waterloo, Canada Sabine Cornelsen, Universität Konstanz, Germany Giordano Da Lozzo, Roma Tre University, Italy Stephan Diehl, Universität Trier, Germany Henry Förster, Universität Tübingen, Germany Martin Gronemann, TU Wien, Austria Yasuhiro Hashimoto, The University of Aizu, Japan Michael Hoffmann, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Hiroshi Hosobe, Hosei University, Japan Yifan Hu, Yahoo!

TODAY Invitation to the March ‘22 BioVis meetup: Visualizing biological localizations - Spatial data in single cell & bioimage datasets. — Speaking: Fabian Theis Squidpy - Spatial Single Cell Analysis and Visualisation. Fabian Theis is head of the Computational Health Center at Helmholtz Munich and the director of HelmholtzAI and Associate Faculty at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute. He uses artificial intelligence to unlock the secrets of human cells. He uses single cell sequencing and spatial transcriptomics data to study how do cells interact and what goes wrong with diseases at the cellular level. Heba Sailem: Visualisation of multiplexed and bioimaging data using ShapoGraphy. Heba Sailem is Sir Henry Wellcome Research Fellow at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Oxford. She pioneered the development and application of several computational approaches to interrogate complex imaging data by artificial intelligence and multi-omics data integration. Using these approaches, she studies how changes in tissue architecture modulate cell signalling and contribute to diseases. — Details: BioVis meetup Location: https://tu-dresden.zoom.us/j/86078643977?pwd=dFZiNEIzcWhNUVRDZmt1MVdpWFpjUT… TUE, Mar 22nd [5pm CET, 4pm UK, 12am NY, 9AM SF] http://biovis.net<http://biovis.net/> — Why: The BioVis meetup is a new virtual seminar series organised by the BioVis network (http://biovis.net/) to complement the BioVis conferences at ISMB (July) and IEEE Vis (October).
