[CfP] 3rd Workshop on Visual Process Analytics (VIPRA 2026) - Co-Located EuroVis 2026
by Elzen, Stef van den 12 Feb '26

12 Feb '26

##################################################### 3rd Workshop on Visual Process Analytics (VIPRA 2026) https://vipra-workshop.github.io/homepage/ ##################################################### Call for Papers ---------------- The 2026 Workshop on Visual Process Analytics (Vipra 2026) is the 3rd annual workshop that provides an opportunity for participants to discuss state-of-the-art event visualization and process mining and learn how both techniques can mutually benefit each other. In this workshop we aim to bring together researchers from both Visual Analytics and Process Mining, to learn, create a common language, spark collaborations, and advance both fields. Process Mining is a data-driven discipline that focuses on extracting valuable insights and knowledge from the vast amount of event data generated within organizations. It involves the discovery, analysis, and improvement of process models by leveraging techniques from data science, machine learning, and data analytics. By examining event logs and historical data, process mining aims to provide a clear, objective view of how processes actually operate, identifying bottlenecks, deviations, and opportunities for optimization. In turn, this supports organizations in making more data-informed decisions, and enhance operational efficiency. Visual analytics is an interdisciplinary field that combines data visualization, analytical techniques, and interactive interfaces to help people make sense of complex and often large datasets. It focuses on using the power of visual representations to facilitate data exploration, pattern recognition, and decision-making. By enabling users to interact with data through graphical interfaces, visual analytics promotes a deeper understanding of information, uncovers hidden insights, and supports the detection of trends, anomalies, and relationships that might be challenging to discern through traditional data analysis methods alone. We believe that process mining and visual analytics can mutually benefit each other. Until now, there has been limited interaction between the two fields, despite their shared objectives. In process mining, the emphasis has traditionally been on data extraction and process discovery, often neglecting the visualization aspect, whereas in visual analytics, event visualization efforts have often overlooked the wealth of process mining techniques that can enhance visualizations and analysis. Bridging this gap and fostering collaboration between the two fields will not only lead to more informed, efficient, and data-driven improvements in various domains but also advance the research and innovation in both process mining and visual analytics, ultimately contributing to a more holistic and integrated approach to understanding and optimizing complex processes. Topics and Scope ---------------- We encourage submissions from all areas on the intersection of visual analytics and process mining. The 2026 Workshop on Visual Process Analytics will cover a range of topics exploring the intersection of PM and VA including (but not limited to): - VA to support exploration and comparison of discovered process models - VA to support the comparison of event logs and process models, e.g., in conformance checking - VA to support the generation of hypotheses about the business process and the identification of process improvement ideas - VA to represent temporal and spatial uncertainty in PM models - Research challenges, pitfalls, and opportunities related to the intersection of VA and PM - The role of AI in PM, and how Visualization and explainable-AI solutions can support model comprehension, exploration, and refinement - Research on the use of VA in BPM and PM practice (user studies, task taxonomies, etc.) Paper Submission, Publication, and Format Guidelines -------------------------------------- We will accept short papers with up to 5 pages plus one page of references (5+1). We encourage a diverse range of submissions and topics in any of the paper types listed below: - Application/Case-study papers (format: 5 + 1) - Research papers (format: 5 + 1) - Position papers and system demos papers (format: 2 + 1) All material will be submitted via the Precision Conference System (PCS): https://new.precisionconference.com/submissions For all submissions, please use the EuroVis 2026 LateX2e Style.

The conference fosters multi-disciplinarity and allows researchers from areas such as computer science, mathematics, psychology, philosophy, history (of science, art, etc.), education research, and more to meet and share their perspectives on the theory and application of diagrams. The goal of the Diagrams 2026 Graduate Symposium is twofold. Firstly, the Symposium will provide senior graduate students and recent Masters and Doctoral graduates with the opportunity to present their research. Established researchers will provide feedback and comments on each of the presentations. Secondly, the Symposium will provide students with an opportunity to network with each other as future colleagues. In previous Diagrams Graduate Symposiums, lively and useful discussions have enabled students to receive suggestions about their on-going research and allowed more experienced participants to hear some fresh ideas and view some of the new trends in the field. ***************************************************************** Submission Requirements Submissions that focus on any aspect of diagram research are welcome. Topics of interest are the same as those given in the calls for papers for the three conference tracks: Main, Philosophy, Psychology and Eduction. Students who wish to present their work at the symposium must submit a 3-page report describing – their thesis topic and the approach being taken, – the work that has been completed, – the expected contributions of the research, – any necessary acknowledgements (for example, supervision team and source funding) Students should be the sole authors of their submission, and the supervisor's name should be included in the acknowledgements section. *The report must be submitted in Springer LNCS format.* *Students who submit to the graduate symposium must ask their main or lead supervisor to submit a short supporting statement.* The supporting statement should confirm that the supervisor supports the student’s participation in the symposium and briefly explain why the student will benefit.It is the student’s responsibility to ensure that their supervisor submits the supporting statement. The supervisor's report should be sent to the Graduate Symposium Chair, *Nathan Haydon nhaydon(a)uwaterloo.ca <nhaydon(a)uwaterloo.ca>.* Submission should be made via EasyChair: https://easychair.org/confer-ences/?conf=diagrams2026 *Grad Symposium Due Date: May 1, 2026Supervisor Report Due Date: May 8, 2026Notifications Sent: May 15, 2026* For questions, please contact the Graduate Symposium Chair, Nathan Haydon nhaydon(a)uwaterloo.ca.
