Examples include environmental science and technologies, natural resources and energy, health and related life sciences, safety and security and business processes. We encourage submissions that extend the areas of use to include a broader range of analytic tasks such as science and technology, public health, business intelligence, financial analysis, and other domains where interactive visualization systems may be used to improve human decision-making. Submissions may include studies of visual analytics and decision support in the context of an organization (e.g., communication between analysts and policy-makers), perceptual and cognitive aspects of the analytic task, and collaborative analysis using visual information systems. We seek to define analytical methods and technologies that use interactive visualization to meet challenges posed by data, platforms, and applications for decision making and risk-based decision making, such as: . Visualization and Analysis of datasets of varying size and complexity from archives and real-time streams . Collaborative visual analysis and operational coordination within and across organizations. . Interactive and Visual Risk-based decision making . Cross-platform interoperability, from mobiles to data walls . Managing response time of complex analytical tasks . Effective deployment and case studies of success from deployed visualization and analytics experiences We invite computational, cognitive, and organizational perspectives on advanced data processing and interactive visualization across a range of human endeavors. We also invite participation from researchers who are looking at scaling issues and multiscale issues, whether these scales refer to the time of decision making, the form-factor and operational constraints of mobile devices, the number of decision makers or the more traditional notion of multiscale simulation and real world scales of data. We are particularly interested in approaches that combine computational and interactive analytics in "mixed initiative" systems, decision support in the context of an organization (e.g. communication between analysts and policy-makers), perceptual and cognitive aspects of the analytic task, and collaborative analysis using visual information systems. Authors are encouraged to bring the lens of their own background and expertise to focus on the analytics of the data itself and coordination of multiple levels of analysis and operations to the design and evaluation of effective presentations for stakeholders Submit your paper to HICSS today! <http://us8.campaign-archive2.com/?u=06bb829c64a57e2cc6ae346b6&id=00b7a826ec &e=a4a009070c> View this email in your browser DATES TO REMEMBER *June 15: <http://hawaii.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=06bb829c64a57e2cc6ae346b6&i d=7cdfaba6e9&e=a4a009070c> Submit Your Paper. * Aug 15: Acceptance Notices distributed. * Oct 1: Early <http://hawaii.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=06bb829c64a57e2cc6ae346b6&i d=408de2487f&e=a4a009070c> Registration fee deadline. * Oct 2: General <http://hawaii.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=06bb829c64a57e2cc6ae346b6&i d=6d407cf569&e=a4a009070c> Registration Fee begins. * Oct 15: Papers without a registered author will be deleted from the Proceedings. * Dec 2: Late <http://hawaii.us8.list-manage.com/track/click?u=06bb829c64a57e2cc6ae346b6&i d=c469b992ed&e=a4a009070c> Registration fee beings. * Jan 5 - 8: HICSS-48 conference in Kauai.
