IEEE VIS 2014 3rd CFP: Doctoral Colloquium
by G.Elisabeta Marai 06 May '14

06 May '14

IEEE VIS 2014 http://ieeevis.org 3rd CALL FOR PARTICIPATION: Doctoral Colloquium http://ieeevis.org/year/2014/info/call-participation/doctoral-colloquium We solicit submissions to the doctoral colloquium (DC) for IEEE VIS 2014. The DC is a single-day invitation-only event taking place the day before IEEE VIS where Ph.D. students in any visualization field---preferably those at the proposal defense stage or equivalent---present their proposed dissertation work and receive feedback from leading senior visualization researchers. We invite contributions from the scientific visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics student communities. The colloquium will allow students to discuss their research directions in a supportive atmosphere with a panel of distinguished leaders and with their peers. Students can expect helpful feedback and fresh perspectives on their research topics and possible career paths, and will have the opportunity to interact closely with expert researchers in their field. The colloquium will support community-building by connecting beginning and advanced researchers. The DC is open to Ph.D. students in all stages of their studies, regardless of whether they are presenting research work at the main conference or not. Only selected applicants will be allowed to participate in the colloquium, and will be expected to attend the full day of events. Preference will be given to students who have formulated a dissertation topic but are still a year or more away from graduating. In North American terms, this corresponds to students that will or have recently defended their thesis proposal. Students who are in the process of formulating their research topic are particularly encouraged to apply, as this is the time where external feedback can have most impact. It is our experience that students who participate in the DC too early in their studies will not be able to get focused and useful feedback, whereas participating too late means that any significant feedback received will not be possible to incorporate in the student's dissertation due to time constraints. All research topics suitable for the IEEE SciVis, IEEE InfoVis, and IEEE VAST main programs as well as associated workshops and symposia are appropriate for the Doctoral Colloquium. FORMAT The colloquium will likely consist of both parallel sessions of student presentations as well as common discussions with the expert panelists. A lunch is also planned that will give student participants the opportunity to interact more informally with panelists. FUNDING Contingent upon pending requests for external sponsorship of the VIS DC, we might be able to partially fund the travel, conference registration, and lodging for some accepted DC student participants. DEADLINE The deadline for DC submissions is May 10, 2014. SUBMISSION INFORMATION Applicants to the Doctoral Colloquium should submit: - http://ieeevis.org/sites/ieeevis.org/themes/visweek/images/menu-leaf.gif) background-repeat: no-repeat;">A four-page summary of their thesis research, including the problem being addressed, methodology and plan of research, a description of the progress to date, and the type of input expected from DC panelists. Please distinguish between work that has been accomplished and that which remains to be completed. The writing should be in a proposal format to facilitate feedback from the panelists as to validity of your problem and the efficacy of your approach. - http://ieeevis.org/sites/ieeevis.org/themes/visweek/images/menu-leaf.gif) background-repeat: no-repeat;">An email from the student's advisor supporting the student's attendance at the colloquium and confirming that the student is in a good position to benefit from participating. Note that this should NOT be a letter of recommendation; a brief statement of support is sufficient. The e-mail should be sent directly to doctoral_coll(a)ieeevis.org. - http://ieeevis.org/sites/ieeevis.org/themes/visweek/images/menu-leaf.gif) background-repeat: no-repeat;">(Optional) A draft poster in PDF format (see below.) Student submissions should be emailed to doctoral_coll(a)ieeevis.org. Formatting guidelines and LaTeX/Word templates can be found at http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html. Student submissions will be peer-reviewed and selections will be made on the basis of their contribution to the colloquium's goals, strength of research direction, and the advisor's assessment. Accepted submissions will be printed for colloquium participants. POSTER PRESENTATIONS Accepted participants of the Doctoral Colloquium will also be allowed to present their work as a poster that will be displayed together with the regular poster program. Please consider including a draft poster with your DC submission. Participants may be asked to refine their posters and summaries based upon reviewer feedback. The poster session chairs will have a final say in accepting all poster submissions, even for DC participants. Also note that DC posters will NOT appear in the official IEEE VIS poster proceedings. The posters themselves have no predefined formatting, but dimensions may not exceed A0 paper size (841mm x 1189mm / 33.1" x 46.8"). Participants are responsible for bringing a hardcopy poster for display during VisWeek. They should be available at the poster to discuss their work during the scheduled evening poster session(s).

IEEE VIS 2014 2nd CFP: Workshops
by G.Elisabeta Marai 02 May '14

02 May '14

IEEE VIS 2014 http://ieeevis.org/ CALL FOR WORKSHOPS: New Due Date May 9th http://ieeevis.org/year/2014/info/call-participation/workshops Due to multiple requests, the workshop submission deadline has been extended to May 9. We solicit workshops related to all areas of visualization including information visualization, scientific visualization, and visual analytics. The workshops venue at IEEE VIS provides an informal setting for participants to discuss advanced technical topics in visualization, involve experts in the field, disseminate work in progress, and promote new ideas. Workshops should: • emphasize emerging ideas, concepts, or technologies that are currently too nascent or too interdisciplinary for a full symposium; or • bring together experts on a subject to create a report, white-paper, or proposal requiring interactive work sessions that is of potential interest to a substantial segment of the visualization community. A distinction that separates workshops from tutorials and symposia is that the information flow for a workshop should not be directed solely from the presenters to the audience. Rather, workshops should engage the participation of all attendees. Workshops at IEEE VIS are open to all registered attendees and ‘invitation only’ workshops will not be approved. Papers submitted and presented as part of this workshop will not be published in the proceedings of the conference. Depending on interest and actual time schedule of each workshop, it may be possible to include workshop material on the USB drive for dissemination to venue attendees. If you wish to have your materials considered for archival electronic publication, please submit the paper to the main conference or the related symposia. Workshops complement the main program of the conference; as such, workshops and panels will be chosen this year to encourage a diversity of topics. Proposals should include: • a title, • the contact details of the organizers, • a brief description of organizers' background, related publications, and research, • the goals, the technical scope, the mission, and the proposed focus, • the planned activities, • the length (full or half day), • a statement of the organization and the development of the list of participants (intended size, detailed selection procedures and timeline for finalizing workshop presenters), • the requested facilities (room setup as a round table, lecture theater, or in a panel format), and • the intended result & impact of the workshop results. The proposal should not exceed four pages. Please visit http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html for formatting guidelines and submit via PCS http:// precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ The workshops will be evaluated according to the following criteria: • the potential for inspiring people, being influential, and opening new lines of research, • the ability to attract people and make them excited about it, • the appropriateness with respect to IEEE VIS topics, • the qualification of the organizers, • the feasibility of the proposed plan (financial, time plan, etc.), and • the coherence of the proposed topic. If the proposed workshop is a follow-up on a previous workshop, please include a discussion of the results and the impact of the previous workshop. The aim of workshops is to include a variety of topics, thus repeat submissions will be judged in part by the success of the previous workshop. Workshop success will be measured subjectively, but popularity, research impact, visibility, and attendee feedback will all be taken into account. In addition, the workshop chairs will try to balance the proposed topics in order to support the diversity of topics within the IEEE VIS venue. IMPORTANT DATES Proposal Submission: May 9, 2014 CHAIRS Nathalie Henry Riche, Microsoft Research Redmond Tobias Isenberg, INRIA Saclay – Île-de-France Tobias Schreck, University of Konstanz Zoė J. Wood, California Polytechnic For further information, please email workshops(a)ieeevis.org. -- Liz -- G.

IEEE VIS 2014 3rd CFP: VAST Challenge
by G.Elisabeta Marai 01 May '14

01 May '14

IEEE VIS 2014 http://ieeevis.org VAST Challenge CFP *Data for Mini-Challenge 3 now available!* Announcing the VAST Challenge 2014! See http://vacommunity.org/VASTchallenge2014 for details. This year’s VAST Challenge presents three inter-related mini-challenges and an overall Grand Challenge to test your skills. These challenges feature a mix of data types, including text, transaction, network, and geospatial / temporal. This year’s challenge also features a first for the VAST Challenge - a streaming text dataset for you to analyze. These challenges are open to participation by individuals and teams in industry, government, and academia. We encourage your submissions, and look forward to seeing your innovative approaches to solving these challenges using visual analytics. Background: The Kronos Incident *Note: This scenario and all the people, places, groups, technologies, contained therein are fictitious. Any resemblance to real people, places, groups, or technologies is purely coincidental. * In the roughly twenty years that Tethys-based GAStech has been operating a natural gas production site in the island country of Kronos, it has produced remarkable profits and developed strong relationships with the government of Kronos. However, GAStech has not been as successful in demonstrating environmental stewardship. In January, 2014, the leaders of GAStech are celebrating their new-found fortune as a result of the initial public offering of their very successful company. In the midst of this celebration, several employees of GAStech go missing. An organization known as the Protectors of Kronos (POK) is suspected in the disappearance, but things may not be what they seem. As an expert in visual analytics, you are called in to help law enforcement from Kronos and Tethys assess the situation and figure out where the missing employees are and how to get them home again. Time is of the essence. The Challenges *Data Available Now! **Mini-Challenge 1* <http://www.vacommunity.org/VAST+Challenge+2014%3A+Mini-Challenge+1>focuses on the disappearance itself. As an analyst, you have a set of current and historical news reports at your disposal, as well as resumes of numerous GAStech employees and email headers from two weeks of internal GAStech company email. You are being counted on to bring law enforcement up to date on the current organization of the POK and how that organization has changed over time, as well as to characterize the events surrounding the disappearance. *Data Available Now! **Mini-Challenge 2* <http://www.vacommunity.org/VAST+Challenge+2014%3A+Mini-Challenge+2>asks you to analyze movement and tracking data. GAStech provides many of their employees with company cars for their personal and professional use, but unbeknownst to the employees, the cars are equipped with GPS tracking devices. You are given tracking data for the two weeks leading up to the disappearance, as well as credit card transaction and loyalty card usage data. From this data, can you identify suspicious behaviors? Can you identify people and locations that law enforcement should investigate? *Data Available Now! **Mini-Challenge 3* <http://www.vacommunity.org/VAST+Challenge+2014%3A+Mini-Challenge+3>poses a streaming analysis challenge. You will have access to real-time feeds of microblogs and emergency calls. Can you monitor this stream to identify what is happening in the city of Abila and find clues into the disappearance of the GASTech employees? *Available Now! *In the *Grand Challenge*<http://vacommunity.org/VAST+Challenge+2014%3A+Grand+Challenge>, you are asked to put all the pieces together. Who disappeared? Who was responsible for the disappearance? And what were the underlying motivations for the disappearance? For Further Information For more information, please see http://vacommunity.org/VASTchallenge2014 or contact vast_challenge(a)ieeevis.org. The submission deadline is July 8, 2014. We look forward to seeing your creative solutions! Kris Cook, Georges Grinstein, and Mark Whiting VAST Challenge Committee co-chairs -- Liz -- G.

Final CfP: 4th International Workshop on Euler Diagrams DEADLINE EXTENDED
by James Burton 28 Apr '14

28 Apr '14

Dear colleague, apologies if you receive multiple copies of this message. Please note that the deadline for Euler Diagrams 2014 has been extended by two weeks to Monday 12th May. We would appreciate it if you could forward this message to colleagues, students and appropriate mailing lists. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ED 2014 Call For Papers: 4th International Workshop on Euler Diagrams, July 28, 2014 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **Co-Located with Diagrams 2014 and VL/HCC 2014 in Melbourne, Australia ** ED 2014: http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2014/ED2014 Diagrams 2014: http://www.diagrams-conference.org/2014 VL/HCC 2014: https://sites.google.com/site/vlhcc2014/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Euler diagrams represent relationships between sets, including intersection, containment, and disjointness. These diagrams have become the foundations of various visual languages and have notably facilitated the modelling of, and logical reasoning about, complex systems. Over the years, they have been extensively used in areas such as biosciences, business, criminology and national security to intuitively visualize relationships and relative cardinalities of sets. This widespread adoption has allowed analysis of complex collections of data. The workshop will cover all aspects of Euler diagram research, including, but not limited to: Theoretical Advances: drawability, layouts, logic, reasoning, Software Support: diagram generation, automated reasoning, data exploration, Real-World Applications: system modelling, information visualization, education, Cognition and Perceptual Principles: readability, aesthetics and evaluation, including comparison to other representations. Recently, there have been significant advances in all of the above areas. This workshop of peer-reviewed submissions will afford the growing Euler diagrams community the opportunity to present and discuss new research, and share multi-interdisciplinary expertise. We envisage that this will stimulate collaborations on current and future research needs. This will be the second time the workshop has run as part of the Diagrams conference series and the fourth Euler diagrams workshop (after successful workshops in 2012, 2004 and 2005). The workshop will bring together researchers with diverse backgrounds, from both academia and industry including those with expertise in mathematic, computer science, artificial intelligence, information design, visualization, human-computer interaction, as well as end-users from various application area. We solicit submissions on the topics mentioned above, in the following forms: full papers (15 pages), consisting of: - original research - surveys short papers (7 pages), consisting of: - systems descriptions - software demonstrations - position statements - original research contributions All submissions should be in Springer’s LNCS format. The proceedings will be published by CEUR. We will invite authors of the best papers to submit extended versions of their work to a special issue of the Journal of Logic, Language and Information. We are pleased to announce that Atsushi Shimojima will give the keynote talk, entitled "Euler systems as feature indicator systems". Atsushi Shimojima is Professor of Culture and Information Science at Doshisha University in Japan. His research so far has been focused on applying semantical analysis of diagrammatic systems to make predictions on their cognitive potentials and verifying these predictions on the basis of psychological experimentation. A good example of this coupling of semantic analysis and cognitive science is found in his recent publication with Yasuhiro Katagiri in the journal, Cognitive Science, entitled "An Eye-Tracking Study of Exploitations of Spatial Constraints in Diagrammatic Reasoning". See our webpage for more details. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- IMPORTANT DATES ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Paper submission: May 12th (Deadline extended) Notification: May 27th Although abstract submission is optional, authors are strongly encouraged to upload their abstract. Program Committee members will be asked to bid on papers for review, between the abstract and paper submission dates. Making your abstract available will help to ensure that the most appropriate experts review your paper. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ORGANIZERS ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Co-Chairs Jim Burton, University of Brighton Gem Stapleton, University of Brighton Program Committee Francesco Bellucci (Tallinn University of Technology) Peter Chapman (University of Brighton) Rosario de Chiara (Poste Italiane) Renata de Freitas (Universidade Federal Fluminense) Tim Dwyer (Monash University) Jean Flower (Autodesk) Mateja Jamnik (University of Cambridge) Luana Micallef (University of Kent) Mitsuhiro Okada (Keio University) Peter Rodgers (University of Kent) Frank Ruskey (University of Victoria) Sun-Joo Shin (Yale University) ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- CONTACT If you have any questions, please contact the workshop organizers ed2014(a)easychair.org. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Dr Jim Burton Senior Lecturer in Computing School of Computing, Engineering and Mathematics University of Brighton ___________________________________________________________ This email has been scanned by MessageLabs' Email Security System on behalf of the University of Brighton.

giCentre - Research Associate : Visual Analytics
by Dykes, Jason 25 Apr '14

25 Apr '14

The giCentre is recruiting a Research Associate to work on the EU funded Project VALCRI. The project will use novel modes of interaction to develop visual analytics tools that support criminal intelligence analysts in making sense of the masses of data that they use to generate evidence. We will be designing and building visualization tools to provide access to these data, detect patterns in them and support analysts in using them to develop arguments, threads of evidence and stories. VALCRI is a collaboration between 18 partners across Europe, with coordination at Middlesex University. We will be working closely with Middlesex and the University of Konstanz in particular in developing the ‘Data Space’ and ‘Analysis Space’ representations through which analysts interact with data. One key theme here is that of ‘scenario reconstruction’ – means through which data are organised to recreate events. This is a full-time post with a fixed-term until December 2017. Further details about the position and the giCentre are online: http://j.mp/citySH60017891 http://gicentre.org Please get in touch if you are interested and would like to discuss the position further - gicentre(a)soi.city.ac.uk
