CFP - Special Issue: Bridging Graph Drawing and Dimensionality Reduction in Information Visualization
by Andreas Kerren 30 Jun '26

30 Jun '26

Apologies for cross-posting! ———————————————————————————————————————— Special Issue of Information Visualization Bridging Graph Drawing and Dimensionality Reduction in Information Visualization Submission Deadline: November 20, 2026 Journal Page: https://journals.sagepub.com/page/ivi/call_for_special_issue/bridging_graph ———————————————————————————————————————— Graph Drawing (GD) and Dimensionality Reduction (DR) are fundamental research areas in information visualization, both aiming to represent complex, high-dimensional, and relational data in interpretable low-dimensional spaces. Although these domains share common goals and methodological challenges, they have largely evolved in parallel, with limited exchange of techniques, evaluation methodologies, and theoretical foundations. This special issue aims to consolidate cutting-edge research emerging from the "GDxDR: Bridging Graph Drawing and Dimensionality Reduction Workshop" at EuroVis 2026, while inviting novel contributions that advance the theory, methods, and applications of integrated graph drawing and dimensionality reduction. To ensure diversity and quality, we welcome submissions from both workshop participants (with ≥30% new content) and external researchers, encouraging work on recent advances in graph drawing, dimensionality reduction, and their integration in information visualization. More specifically, graph- and embedding-based visual representations have become increasingly important for supporting exploration, explanation, and decision-making across a wide range of domains. Recent advances in visual analytics, machine learning, explainable artificial intelligence, and representation learning have created new opportunities to bridge GD and DR, while also raising important questions related to interpretability, scalability, trust, and evaluation. This special issue seeks to showcase the latest state-of-the-art research on the integration of GD and DR, emphasizing methodological innovation, empirical validation, and human-centered design. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Conceptual and methodological connections between graph drawing and dimensionality reduction - Evaluation methodologies, interpretability, and stability in layout and embedding techniques - Human-centered and perceptual aspects of GD and DR - Quality metrics, scalability, and reliability in visual representations - Hybrid or unified frameworks combining GD and DR principles - Visualization systems, tools, or applications demonstrating GD–DR integration - Learning-based, generative, and AI-assisted graph layouts and embeddings - Explainable and interpretable GD and DR methods - Trust, uncertainty, and bias in graph and projection-based visualizations *** Timeline *** All submitted manuscripts will go through the same rigorous peer-review process of the journal. The timeline of the special issue is as follows: - Submissions due: November 20, 2026 - Initial reviews due: January 31, 2027 - Revisions due: April 15, 2027 - Second round of review due (if needed): May 31, 2027 - Final acceptance: June 15, 2027 - Final versions due: July/August 2027 - Expected publication of the special issue: September/October 2027 Inquiries can be made to any of the guest editors. Please inform the guest editors of your intent to submit. For further author information and submission guidelines, please refer to https://journals.sagepub.com/author-instructions/IVI Final manuscript submissions should be made online through the journal submission system. *** Guest Editors *** Andreas Kerren Linköping University and Linnaeus University, Norrköping/Växjö, Sweden andreas.kerren(a)liu.se Claudio D.

Dear Colleagues, We cordially invite you to submit papers to the minitrack on: Human-Guided, Interactive AI-driven Decision Intelligence https://hicss .hawaii.edu/tracks-and-minitracks/decision-analytics-and-service-science/ 60th Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences (HICSS-60) January 5–8, 2027 | Hilton Waikoloa Village, Big Island, Hawaii ----------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES Jun 15, 2026 Paper submission deadline (11:59 PM HST) Aug 17, 2026 Notification of acceptance/rejection Sep 4, 2026 Revised manuscript deadline (conditionally accepted papers) Sep 10, 2026 Final decision (conditionally accepted papers) Sep 22, 2026 Final manuscript deadline Oct 1, 2026 Author registration deadline Jan 5–8, 2027 Conference (Hilton Waikoloa Village, Big Island, Hawaii) To meet the deadline, submissions must be made by 11:59pm HST. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT THE MINITRACK AI is transforming how we live, learn, and innovate at an exponential pace. Effective decision-making in today's interconnected world increasingly demands that humans team with complex AI and real-time data analytics — a human–computer AI teaming that is essential for trustworthy and usable intelligent collaboration. This minitrack focuses on human decision making through interactive AI, human–computer teaming, visual analytics, visual interaction with AI (including ML and LLMs), and statistical and machine learning processes. We welcome contributions spanning laboratory studies, cognitive studies, communication theory, risk analysis, decision science, mis/disinformation, policy science, and field experiments. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Multi-perspective knowledge integration and synthesis in organizations - Interactive visualization and visual analytics for digital economies and "wicked" problems - Visual analytics for large-scale, real-time, and heterogeneous data - Collaborative and mixed-initiative visual analysis across organizations - Interactive, risk-based, and AI-guided decision making - Interactive machine learning and human–AI teaming methods - Performance, scalability, and response-time management for complex analytics - Deployment experiences, evaluation, and case studies of visual analytics systems - Visualization and analytics for policy making, trustworthy AI, and mis/disinformation - Cognitive, social, and theoretical foundations of visual decision environments - User interfaces for Agentic AI with human oversight - User interfaces to trace, debug, and configure Agentic AI fleets We particularly encourage submissions combining computational and interactive analytics in mixed-initiative or Interactive Machine Learning systems, case studies in science & technology, public health, business intelligence, financial analysis, social sciences, communications, and public policy, position papers on new research directions and critical challenges, and work on large language models, Agentic AI, and human–AI collaboration that supports understandable, trustworthy decision making. For HICSS-60, we are introducing an innovative session format: each accepted author will be invited to lead an interactive discussion on another presenter's paper, fostering a more dynamic and engaging exchange. Summaries will be distributed post-conference as a blog, whitepaper, or comment paper. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- SUBMISSION GUIDELINES - Papers must be original and not previously published or under review elsewhere - Maximum 10 pages (including references) - Double-blind peer review (remove author names from initial submission) - Each author may appear on at most 5 submissions - In-person presentation is required; online presentation is not permitted - Submit via: https://hicss-submissions.org/ - Templates and format specifications: https://hicss.hawaii.edu/authors/ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- ABOUT HICSS HICSS is one of the longest-standing and most prestigious conferences in information systems and computer science, now in its 60th year. HICSS-60 will be held at the Hilton Waikoloa Village on the Big Island of Hawaii, approximately 20–30 minutes from Kona International Airport (KOA). All accepted papers are published open-access via the ScholarSpace digital library. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- MINITRACK CO-CHAIRS David Ebert | University of Arizona Kelly Gaither | Texas Advanced Computing Center, UT Austin Yun Jang | Sejong University, Seoul, Korea Wolfgang Jentner | University of Arizona For questions regarding scope or paper fit, please contact the minitrack co-chairs directly.
