GD 2025: 1st CALL FOR PAPERS
by Andreas Kerren 05 Feb '25

05 Feb '25

Sorry if you receive multiple copies of this announcement. ================================================================ GD 2025: 1st CALL FOR PAPERS The 33rd International Symposium on Graph Drawing and Network Visualization (GD 2025) September 24-26, 2025, Norrköping, Sweden https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2025/ ================================================================ PDF version: https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2025/assets/pdfs/Call_for_Papers-2025.pdf HTML version: https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2025/pages/cfp/ ================================================================ IMPORTANT DATES - Abstract submission deadline: June 3 - Paper submission deadline: June 10 - Author notification: July 23 - Poster submission deadline: August 22 - Poster notification: September 1 ================================================================ *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 for which it is crucial to visually analyze and interact with relational datasets. Application areas include data science, social sciences, web computing, information systems, life sciences, geography, business intelligence, information security, and software engineering. Graph Drawing has been the main annual conference in this area for more than 30 years. Its focus is on combinatorial and algorithmic aspects of graph drawing, their experimental evaluation, 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 as well as the graph drawing contest. GD 2025 will be held in Norrköping, Sweden, on September 24-26, 2025 with a reception on the evening of September 23. A preconference PhD school will take place September 22-23, 2025. GD 2025 is designed to be held on-site. It is expected that regular papers are presented on site by one of the authors. To address the global challenges and as an offer for authors who are unable to attend we allow for a limited number of remote presentations, as further explained below. The code of conduct for the GD conference can be found at http://graphdrawing.org/safetoc.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 theoretical graph drawing advances*, such as combinatorial and algorithmic aspects. We aim at covering a diverse set of topics, which 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 • Graph representations • Geometric advances and computing in graph drawing • Combinatorics and optimization in graph drawing *TRACK2 :* Experimental, applied, and network visualization aspects This track is mainly devoted to the *practical aspects of graph drawing*, such as experimental evaluations of graph drawing related algorithms, the development and/or evaluation of related libraries and tools, or systems and interfaces in different application areas. We aim at covering a diverse set of topics, which for this track includes (but is not limited to): • Engineering of graph drawing algorithms and network visualization systems • Interfaces, methods, and high-quality tools for interacting with graphs and networks • Benchmarks and experimental studies in the context of graph drawing and network visualization • Cognitive studies on network visualization aesthetics and user interaction • Visualization of networks in real world applications • Machine learning methods in graph drawing & network visualization • Graph drawing & network visualization for AI explainability Authors of accepted papers in this track are encouraged 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 track for short papers. Here we welcome smaller and less elaborate contributions on relevant topics. Papers in this category will be assigned a shorter time for presentation during the conference. *REMOTE PRESENTATIONS* For authors who cannot present their paper in person we offer the possibility for remote presentation, which must be declared at submission time. Authors of accepted papers in this category have to register for the conference. Papers in this category are evaluated and selected by the program committee by applying the same high standards as for the other tracks. In addition, the authors have to submit a recording of their presentation two weeks after the submission of the paper. The remote submission chair can influence the score of papers in this track based on the quality of the recorded talk and even reject submissions if the quality of the recorded talk is inappropriate. There is a limit of six remote presentations. *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 that must be submitted together with the poster itself. Each submission will thus consist of two pdf files (the abstract and the poster). Details about the traditional *Graph Drawing Contest*, which is held at the conference, are provided at the website <https://mozart.diei.unipg.it/gdcontest/2025/>. ================================================================ RULES FOR SUBMISSION Results that have been previously published (or are scheduled for publication) in another conference proceedings or journal, as well as simultaneous submissions of results to other conferences with published proceedings or journals are not permitted, except for poster submissions. With the exception of remote presentations, each paper or poster must be presented at the conference by an author, otherwise the paper can be excluded from publication in the proceedings. ChatGPT and similar large language models may be used to improve the paper’s language, but its use should be mentioned as a footnote and the authors remain responsible for the full paper. In particular, the unattributed use of any such tools in the creation of the paper’s scientific content is forbidden. *SUBMISSION FORMAT* The proceedings will be published in the LIPIcs <https://www.dagstuhl.de/en/publishing/series/details/lipics> series. To facilitate the process, submissions have to be prepared in accordance with the LIPIcs author instructions <https://submission.dagstuhl.de/series/details/LIPIcs#author>, the page provides links to the LIPIcs class file along with an example and detailed author instructions. For the submission, the use of the LaTeX class file gd-lipics-v2.cls <https://graphdrawing.github.io/gd2025/assets/template/gd-lipics-v2.cls> is requested. The class file is a wrapper around the standard LIPIcs class and implements line counting, see CG-linecount.pdf <https://www.computational-geometry.org/guidelines/linecount_2022_09_19.pdf> for details. Submissions must not exceed the following limits: • 500 lines for full papers, • 225 lines for short papers, • 80 lines for posters’ abstracts. The above limits do not include front matter (title, authors, and affiliations), references, or appendices. The class files provide line counting which should be accurate in most cases. Authors should avoid substantial amounts of text in unnumbered lines. In addition, the main content of the paper must not exceed the following page limits excluding references: • 15 pages for long papers, • 7 pages for short papers, • 3 pages posters’ abstracts. The claims of full and short papers should be fully substantiated. If this information does not fit within the line limit, 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. For poster submissions, no appendix is expected. We also encourage authors to avoid "et al." in citations in favor of an equal mention of the surnames of all authors. For references with few authors, it is recommended to name all of them; if the number of authors is large, consider writing "(It is shown that) X [#]" or "The authors in [#] show that X" instead of "A et al. [#] show that X". *PAPER SUBMISSION, PROCEEDINGS AND SPECIAL ISSUE* Papers should be submitted electronically via Easychair <https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=gd2025>. The proceedings will be published in the *Leibniz International Proceedings in Informatics (LIPIcs)* series and are available open access. Selected papers from Track 1 and Track 2 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)*. A special TVCG papers session at the Graph Drawing conference will also feature regular TVCG papers. Further details can be found at https://www.computer.org/digital-library/journals/tvcg/tvcg-partners-with-c… ================================================================ LIGHTWEIGHT DOUBLE-BLIND REVIEW PROCESS The review process of regular and short papers will be handled in a lightweight double-blind mode. This means that authors are not allowed to reveal their identity in the submitted paper, 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 the 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). 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 required to declare conflicts of interest with PC members when they submit their paper. Poster submissions will be evaluated by the Program Committee in a single-blind mode. In particular, the submitted abstract should contain the authors’ names, affiliations, and email addresses. ================================================================ AWARDS For each of the two tracks, the Program Committee of GD 2025 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 2025 attendees. ================================================================ ORGANIZING COMMITTEE Andreas Kerren, Linköping University, Sweden (general co-chair) Kostiantyn Kucher, Linköping University, Sweden (general co-chair) Claudio Linhares, Linnaeus University, Sweden (PhD school chair) Nico Reski, Linköping University, Sweden (Decision Arena chair) Zeyang Huang, Linköping University, Sweden (web chair) ================================================================ PROGRAM COMMITTEE Alessio Arleo, TU Eindhoven, Netherlands Michael Bekos, University of Ioannina, Greece Markus Chimani, University of Osnabrück, Germany Éric Colin de Verdière, CNRS, LIGM, Marne-la-Vallée, France Giordano Da Lozzo, Roma Tre University, Italy Sara Di Bartolomeo, TU Wien, Austria Vida Dujmovic, University of Ottawa, Canada (program co-chair) Henry Förster, TU Munich, Germany Fabrizio Frati, Roma Tre University, Italy Robert Ganian, TU Wien, Austria Daniel Gonçalves, CNRS & University of Montpellier, France Siddharth Gupta, BITS Pilani, K K Birla Goa Campus, India Thekla Hamm, TU Eindhoven, Netherlands Takayuki Itoh, Ochanomizu University, Japan Philipp Kindermann, Trier University, Germany Stephen Kobourov, TU Munich, Germany Kostiantyn Kucher, Linköping University, Sweden Silvia Miksch, TU Wien, Austria Fabrizio Montecchiani, University of Perugia, Italy (program co-chair) Pat Morin, Carleton University, Canada Tamara Mchedlidze, Utrecht University, Netherlands Giacomo Ortali, University of Perugia, Italy Sergey Pupyrev, Meta, USA Marcus Schaefer, DePaul University, USA Raphael Steiner, ETH Zurich, Switzerland Andrew Suk, University of California San Diego, USA Antonios Symvonis, National Technical University of Athens, Greece Csaba D.

by Maurice Koch 31 Jan '25

31 Jan '25

Dear colleagues, You are invited to submit relevant manuscripts for consideration in the * 9th Workshop on Eye Tracking and Visualization (ETVIS 2025) * May 26 - May 29, 2025, Tokyo - Japan in conjunction with the ACM Symposium on Eye Tracking Research and Applications (ETRA): https://etra.acm.org/2025/ All accepted papers will be published by ACM as part of the Workshop Proceedings of ETRA 2025. The details are appended and also available at https://www.etvis-workshop.org/etvis-2025 Please feel free to contact us directly for any further enquiry. Best regards, Michael Burch (University of Applied Sciences, Chur, Switzerland) Kuno Kurzhals (University of Stuttgart, Germany) ************************************************************************** 9th Workshop on Eye Tracking and Visualization (ETVIS 2025) May 26 - May 29, 2025, Tokyo - Japan in conjunction with ACM ETRA 2025 The workshop will be held in hybrid mode https://etra.acm.org/2025/ ************************************************************************** Contact: etvis.workshop(a)gmail.com ************************************************************************** _____________________ IMPORTANT DATES (AoE) _____________________ ● Submission Due: Feb 22, 2025 ● Notification: Mar 12, 2025 ● Camera Ready: Mar 31, 2025 All accepted papers will be published by ACM. _____ SCOPE _____ Broadly, this workshop considers the intersection of eye tracking research with visualization, whether the contributions relate to eye tracking studies of visualizations, or vice versa, visualization techniques for eye tracking. Technological advances in computer vision algorithms and sensor hardware have greatly reduced the implementational and financial costs of eye tracking. Thus, it is unsurprising to witness a significant increase in its use as a research tool in fields beyond the traditional domains of biological vision, psychology, and neuroscience, in particular, in visualization and human-computer interaction research. One of the key challenges lies in the analysis, interaction, and visualization of complex spatio-temporal datasets of gaze behavior, which is further complicated by complementary datasets such as semantic labels, user interactions and/or accompanying physiological sensor recordings. Ultimately, the research objective is to allow eye tracking data to be effectively interpreted in terms of the observer’s decision-making and cognitive processes. To achieve this, it is necessary to draw upon our current understanding of gaze-behavior across various and related fields, from vision and cognition to visualization. All together eye tracking is an important field to be understood, be it in the sense of data analysis and visualization, interaction, or user-based evaluation of visualization. ______ TOPICS ______ Manuscripts are solicited on the following topics with an emphasis on the relationship between eye tracking and visualization, including but not limited to the following: ● Visualization techniques for eye-movement data (inc. spatio-temporal visualization, evolution of gaze patterns, visual analysis of individual behavior, 2D vs. 3D representations of eye-movement data) ● Visual analytics of gaze behavior (inc. visual data mining, aggregation, clustering techniques, and metrics for eye-movement data) ● Eye-movement data provenance ● Standardized metrics for evaluating gaze interactions with visualization ● Cognitive models for gaze interactions with visualizations ● Novel methods for eye tracking in challenging visualization scenarios ● Uncertainty visualization of gaze data ● Interactive annotation of gaze and stimulus data ● Systems for the visual exploration of eye-movement data ● Eye tracking studies that evaluate visualization or visual analytics ● Eye tracking in non-WIMP visualization environments, including mobile eye tracking, mobile devices, and large displays ● Visualization of eye tracking data in mixed and virtual reality (3df & 6df, 360°) ● Visualization applications that rely on eye tracking as an input parameter ___________ SUBMISSIONS ___________ Authors are invited to submit original work complying with the ETRA SHORT PAPER format (up to 8 pages in single-column format, any number of references, max. 150 words abstract). Also, ensure that the Author Guidelines (https://www.siggraph.org//learn/instructions-authors for SIG sponsored events [sigconf]) are met prior to submission. __________ ORGANIZERS __________ ● Michael Burch, University of Applied Sciences, Chur, Switzerland, michael.burch(a)fhgr.ch ● Kuno Kurzhals, University of Stuttgart, Germany, Kuno.Kurzhals(a)visus.uni-stuttgart.de ____________ PAPER CHAIRS ____________ ● Minoru Nakayama, Institute of Science Tokyo (Tokyo Tech.), Japan, nakayama(a)ict.e.titech.ac.jp ● Zofija Tupikovskaja-Omovie, Manchester Metropolitan University, United Kingdom, z.tupikovskaja-omovie(a)mmu.ac.uk ● Yao Wang, University of Stuttgart, Germany, Yao.Wang(a)vis.uni-stuttgart.de __________________ STEERING COMMITTEE __________________ ● Michael Burch, University of Applied Sciences, Chur, Switzerland, michael.burch(a)fhgr.ch ● Lewis Chuang, Chemnitz University of Technology, Germany, lewis.chuang(a)phil.tu-chemnitz.de ● Daniel Weiskopf, University of Stuttgart, Germany, Daniel.Weiskopf(a)visus.uni-stuttgart.de __________________ SOCIAL MEDIA CHAIR __________________ Ioana Lupascu, Tufts University, United States, Ioana.Lupascu(a)tufts.edu _____________ WEBSITE CHAIR _____________ Maurice Koch, University of Stuttgart, Germany, Maurice.Koch(a)visus.uni-stuttgart.de

CfP EuroVis 2025 Workshop: VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software
by Michael Krone 22 Jan '25

22 Jan '25

Dear colleagues, We would like to invite you to contribute to: ******************************************************************************* VisGap - The Gap between Visualization Research and Visualization Software (co-located with EuroVis 2025) June 2nd, 2025, Luxembourg City, Luxembourg ******************************************************************************* Over the years, many visualization methods and tools have been developed and published by the visualization research community. However, most of these are prototypes and never reach a state that can be reliably used by the target audience, e.g., domain scientists. Also, availability of these prototypes as source code or at least as executables is still the exception rather than the norm. The VisGap workshop aims to shed light on this gap between research and practical applicability, examine the obstacles every researcher faces, and propose solutions to overcome this problem as a community. VisGap'25 aims to gather experts from all over the visualization community in order to advance the way our field works with software, sustains software, and values the effort our members put into developing said software. The scope of VisGap also includes reproducibility and replicability. Both are cornerstones of the scientific method and essential for building trust in visualizations and increasing their acceptance, ultimately fostering adoption in the wild. We also explicitly solicit contributions about visualization systems and tools, and their employment in research and practice. We solicit papers with 4-8 pages, with one additional page allowed for references. All submissions must be original works that have not been published previously in any conference proceedings, magazine, journal, or edited book, or must present a substantial extension of previous work (at least 30%). *** NEW this year *** We solicit extended abstracts of up to 2 pages (plus an additional page for references). The abstracts can present research ideas, projects, opinions, or a collection of problems. All accepted abstracts will be invited to give a lightning talk. Papers and extended abstracts must be submitted through PCS (https://new.precisionconference.com/) All submissions will undergo a single-blind, single-stage peer review process. Accepted papers and extended abstracts will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored in the Eurographics Digital Library. At least one author of each accepted paper must register and participate in the VisGap'25 workshop to present their work. Topics include, but are not limited to: - Requirements for successful visualization in applications in general - Domain-specific requirements for visualizations - Reflections on the research community and the visualization software ecosystem - Incentives and funding for developing/maintaining visualization research software - Legal requirements (e.g., licensing, certification) for visualizations in applications - Case studies of (un)successful visualization solutions in applications - Requirements for novel visualization libraries - Verification and validation in visualization (applications) - Reproducibility of visualizations Important Dates ******************************************************************************* Paper Submission Deadline: March 11, 2025 Extended Abstract (Lightning talk) Submission Deadline: April 11, 2025 Notification of Acceptance (Papers & Lightning talks): April 18, 2025 Workshop Date: June 02, 2025 More info: https://visgap.gitlab.io/visgap25/ Organizers and Contact ******************************************************************************* Christina Gillmann, Fraunhofer FIT, Germany Michael Krone, Stuttgart University of Applied Sciences, Germany Guido Reina, University of Stuttgart, Germany Thomas Wischgoll, Wright State University, Dayton, USA If you have any questions, please contact us: mailto: visgap(a)googlegroups.com Best regards, Christina Gillmann, Michael Krone, Guido Reina, Thomas Wischgoll VisGap'25 Organizing Committee

Post-Doctoral Research Associate (Co-Design for Smart Data Donation Services) [University of York, UK]
by Jonathan Hook 15 Jan '25

15 Jan '25

== Post-Doctoral Research Associate (Co-Design for Smart Data Donation Services) == - Location: University of York, UK - Salary: £36,924 - £42,632 - Duration: 3-year fixed term - Deadline: 24th January 2025 - Apply now at: bit.ly/datacodesign <http://bit.ly/datacodesign> We seek an outstanding co-design researcher for a 3-year fixed term position as part of the Smart Data Donation Service (https://sdds.ac.uk <https://sdds.ac.uk/>). The SDDS is a major infrastructure project funded by Smart Data Research UK, which aims to catalyse a paradigm shift in the quality and accessibility of smart data for research into digital and online experiences (e.g. games, social media). The SDDS will achieve this by creating a service that facilitates the large-scale donation of data by the individuals that it features. This will be made possible due to the UK’s GDPR regulations, which allow people to access personal data that companies hold about them so that they can donate it securely for research purposes. == Role == This role is a unique opportunity: as the successful candidate, you will help to drive profound societal change at a key juncture in online safety and digital wellbeing; and will engage in large-scale team science, tapping into the support of an inclusive and vibrant new research institution to enact this vision. You will play a key role in the design, development and evaluation of the SDDS. You will lead underpinning research that explores an exciting range of topics around potential donors’ perceptions, understandings and experiences of data donation (e.g. exploring the motivations that drive data donation and the barriers that could prevent it) and the research community's requirements for data and methods of working with it. You will also lead the development and execution of co-design processes that directly involve these groups in the creation of services that they will be motivated to use and benefit from. The outcomes of your work will directly shape the development of the SDDS — working closely with a user-experience designer and our software development team to translate findings into actionable designs, and by leading evaluations of people’s experiences with the service that support its iteration. You will be supported to publish your findings in high quality academic conferences and journals, and will be given opportunities to engage in the process of writing research grant applications and research leadership. == Skills, Experience & Qualification Needed == As the successful candidate, you will have a PhD in a topic that relates to the understanding of people and their interactions with interactive systems (e.g. Design, Psychology, Sociology, Human-Computer Interaction, UX) or equivalent experience. You will have knowledge of: research methods that enable the understanding of donors’ and researchers’ perceptions, needs, barriers and experiences of data donation and services that enable it; co-design approaches that can be used to involve a diverse community of donors and researchers in directly shaping the design of the data donation service; and research methods appropriate for evaluating people’s experiences of using digital interactive systems. We particularly seek candidates with specialist research knowledge in a field that relates to the goals of the data donation service (e.g. human-data interaction, the psychology of data donation) and/or knowledge of the area of online domains and experiences where smart data is gathered and processed (e.g. digital games, social media). However, we also encourage applications from candidates with transferable experience of applying co-design research methods in other domains, who can demonstrate a passion for the topic and goals of the SDDS. Interview date: Mid February 2025. For informal enquiries: please contact Prof. Jonathan Hook on jonathan.hook(a)york.ac.uk <mailto:jonathan.hook@york.ac.uk> The University strives to be diverse and inclusive – a place where we can ALL be ourselves. We particularly encourage applications from people who identify as Black, Asian or from a Minority Ethnic background, who are underrepresented at the University. We offer family friendly, flexible working arrangements, with forums and inclusive facilities to support our staff. #EqualityatYork Apply now at: bit.ly/datacodesign <http://bit.ly/datacodesign>
