TL;DR: For our research unit, we are seeking for a PhD student in the field of Visual Analytics & Dynamic Network Visualizations see https://www.vcla.at/2024/08/open-positions-cluster-of-excellence/#miksch ********************************************************* Cluster of Excellence Bilateral Artificial Intelligence ********************************************************* Call for Applications For the recently established Cluster of Excellence (CoE) Bilateral Artificial Intelligence (BILAI), funded by the Austrian Science Fund (FWF), we are looking for more than 50 PhD students and 10 Post-Doc researchers (m/f/d) to join our team at one of the six leading research institutions across Austria (see below). In BILAI, major Austrian players in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are teaming up to work towards Broad AI. As opposed to Narrow AI, which is characterized by task-specific skills, Broad AI seeks to address a wide array of problems, rather than being limited to a single task or domain. To develop its foundations, BILAI employs a Bilateral AI approach, effectively combining sub-symbolic AI (neural networks and machine learning) with symbolic AI (logic, knowledge representation, and reasoning) in various ways. Harnessing the full potential of both symbolic and sub-symbolic approaches can open new avenues for AI, enhancing its ability to solve novel problems, adapt to diverse environments, improve reasoning skills, and increase efficiency in computation and data use. These key features enable a broad range of applications for Broad AI, from drug development and medicine to planning and scheduling, autonomous traffic management, and recommendation systems. Prioritizing fairness, transparency, and explainability, the development of Broad AI is crucial for addressing ethical concerns and ensuring a positive impact on society. The research team is committed to cross-disciplinary work in order to provide theory and models for future AI and deployment to applications. CoE Research Institutions: Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (JKU Linz) Technische Universität Wien (TU Wien) Alpen-Adria-Universität Klagenfurt (AAU) Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA) Technische Universität Graz (TU Graz) Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien (WU Wien) The call for applications is available at https://www.bilateral-ai.net/jobs/.

12 Sep '24

*CFP: Map-based interfaces and interactions* *A special issue of IxD&A * *https://ixdea.org/map-based-interfaces-and-interactions/ * * * *Overview** +++++++++++++++* Maps have been used for centuries to coordinate a wide-range of human activities, to help explorers and armies to chart unknown and foreign lands and seas, to present information, and even to shape our imagination of the past and vision of the future. In our modern digital world, the role of maps has increased many folds, and maps in their various forms have become an underlying platform for countless tools, applications, visualizations, games, and other interactive systems, interfaces, and modes of interaction. Despite this increasing importance, and perhaps due to its transdisciplinary nature, research on map design, development, evaluation, and use is currently dispersed across many different disciplines and their specific publications, with hardly any of them focusing on maps as a basis for interfaces and interactions.This special issue aims to highlight the role of maps as a physical, theoretical, and metaphorical framework for interaction design and architecture. It provides a forum for the presentation of different perspectives in this emerging research area. * * *Topics of Interest** **+++++++++++++++* This special issue focuses on research related to the development of novel future map-based designs in different fields, including interaction design, user interface design, visualization, visual design, geographical information systems and cartography. The topics of interests include the following, as well as any other related topic: - Design of map-based interfaces and interactions - Theories, principles and practices of map-based interfaces and interactions - User evaluations of map-based interfaces and interactions - Applications of map-based interfaces and interactions - Reviews of research on map-based interfaces and interaction * * *Submission procedure ** **+++++++++++++++* Prospective participants are invited to submit a 8-30 pages paper (including authors’ information, abstract, all tables, figures, references, etc.). All submissions must be original and may not be under review by another publication. All papers will be blindly peer-reviewed by at least two reviewers. The manuscripts should be submitted anonymized either in .doc or in .pdf format. The paper should be written according to the IxD&A authors’ guidelines (https://ixdea.org/authors-guidelines/) Submission page -> https://ojs.ixdea.org/index.php/ixdea When submitting the paper please choose the section: "SI: Map-based interfaces and interactions" *Important dates **+++++++++++++++* Deadline: October 15th, 2024 Notification to the authors: January 15th, 2025 Camera ready paper: February 15th, 2025 Publication of the special issue: March 2025 (tentatively) *Guest Editors** **+++++++++++++++* • Masood Masoodian, Aalto University, Finland • Saturnino Luz, University of Edinburgh, United Kingdom -- Prof. Masood Masoodian Visual Communication Design Aalto University avcd.aalto.fi

Continuing our cooperation with the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG), these submissions with substantial contribution will be considered for publication in a special issue of IEEE TVCG. - Conditionally accept as conference paper. These submissions will be considered for inclusion in the Proceedings of IEEE VR, archived in the IEEE Xplore Digital Library. - Recommend as a two-page poster. Authors of a submission receiving this recommendation have the option of condensing their submission into a two-page poster, including references. Subject to a final approval by the Posters chairs, accepted posters will be included in the IEEE VR Abstracts and Workshops proceedings and will be archived in the IEEE Digital Library. Note that IEEE VR does not consider posters as a final disclosure of research results. Thus, work accepted as an IEEE VR poster might be eligible for inclusion in future publications. - Reject. Review Cycle II (Initial notification to Final decision) The revision of each conditionally accepted paper will be reviewed by its coordinator, who will make a final recommendation regarding acceptance. Should the conditions for acceptance not be met, the paper will be rejected. Additional Guidelines Abstract Submission. Note that a paper abstract must be uploaded seven days prior to the actual paper submission deadline. This facilitates the process of assigning reviewers, as the review process operates on a very tight schedule. Ethics and Responsibility. All submissions describing research experiments with human participants must follow the appropriate ethical guidelines required by the authors’ institution(s), and authors are required to secure and report their approval by the relevant ethics committee prior to collecting data. An approval by any ethical review board, if required by your institution, needs to be indicated via the submission system. Authors will be required to submit the name of the ethical review board, approved protocol title and number, and date that ethical approval was obtained prior to running human participants. Authors must be able to provide proof of ethical approval upon request. Incorrect reporting of ethical approval will result in desk rejection. Participant Diversity. To support high-quality research, all submissions describing research with human participants should strive for participant diversity. As first steps toward this goal, VR 2025 is encouraging the following: - Research that aims to benefit a general population should be representative of that population. (e.g. balanced across gender or age). Research that claims to benefit a specific population should clearly state and justify its focus on that population (e.g. pilots, surgeons). - All submissions must report participant demographics (gender, age, etc.). Notes about recruiting representative populations: - Recruiting more diverse samples does not imply that the research must treat these data as independent variables and analyze differences in independent variables between demographic groups. - Recruiting more diverse samples does not increase the number of participants required for adequate statistical power given an effect size. - Many ethics review boards and funding sources already require participant diversity for inclusive and unbiased research. The VR 2025 program committee and external reviewers will be strongly encouraged to consider participant diversity in relation to the generality of the claims made by a submission as a first-order reviewing concern. Submissions that make general claims yet rely on a severely imbalanced participant groups may be negatively impacted by the reviewing process. Review Duties for Authors. The increasing number of submissions for IEEE VR makes us all dependent on a large number of good reviewers who are willing to provide constructive feedback and engage with authors on their work. Every paper needs three quality reviews. To expand the reviewing pool and to promote quality reviews, for each submitted paper, one author will be required to register to review up to three papers through PCS at the time of submission. For example, if the same author group submits two papers, they need to commit to reviewing six papers. Additionally, senior authors are encouraged to ask experienced junior authors to register in PCS to review papers, and then to mentor the junior authors during the review process. Presentation at the Conference. All accepted submissions must be presented orally at the conference. An in-person presentation is expected, and online presentations will be accommodated only in exceptional cases. Requests for online presentations due to exceptional cases must be made at least one month before the conference. Submission Language. All paper submissions must be in English. Previous Publication and Plagiarism. Submitted manuscripts must not have been previously published. A manuscript is considered to have been previously published if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal, magazine, book, or meeting proceedings that is reliably and permanently available afterward in print or electronic form to non-attendees, regardless of the language of that publication. A manuscript identical or substantially similar in content (in its entirety or in part) to one submitted to VR should not be simultaneously under consideration for another conference or journal during any part of the VR review process, from the submission deadline until notifications of decisions are emailed to authors. In some situations, a submission may build upon prior work. In order to fully explain the relationship between the submitted paper and prior work, authors may upload additional papers as well as a non-anonymous letter of explanation that highlights the significant changes or advances; these materials will only be seen by the primary reviewer. Specifically, this treatment is applied to the following cases: - non peer-reviewed works that are publicly available (on arXiv, as a technical report, etc.) - non-archival publications presented in past IEEE VR conferences (posters, demos, etc.) Submissions will be checked for plagiarism using IEEE Crosscheck. Detection of significant plagiarism will lead to rejection.

. AI-generated Text. Large-scale language models (LLMs) such as ChatGPT can only be used by the authors to edit grammar of their own text. Submission Anonymity. * IEEE VR uses a DOUBLE-BLIND review process * This means that both the authors and the reviewers must remain anonymous to each other. Submissions (including citations and optional videos) must not contain information that identifies the authors, their institutions, funding sources, or their places of work. Relevant previous work by the authors must be cited in the third person to preserve anonymity (exceptions were described above). Authors should work diligently to ensure that their submissions do not expose their identities either intentionally or through carelessness. Authors that have questions/issues around the double-blind submission policy should contact the program chairs. * Failure to make reasonable attempts to adhere to the double-blind policy will result in desk rejection. * Pre-dissemination through public online repositories. Uploading the submitted manuscript to an online repository (e.g., arXiv) before the end of the review process does not constitute a reason for rejecting the manuscript. However, the authors should be advised that doing so can compromise the anonymity of their manuscript and therefore bias its double-blind review. Videos. Videos must be submitted according to the instructions on the submission website. Videos submitted with papers will automatically be considered for possible inclusion in the video proceedings (video submissions may also be made independently, as described in the separate Call for Videos). When submitted as supporting material, videos must be free of any identifying information prior to reviewing as per the double-blind submission policy. If accepted for the video proceedings, a revised version of the materials will be requested.

XR PhD Position
by Klippel, Alexander 11 Sep '24

11 Sep '24

We are seeking an enthusiastic and bright PhD student to work with us on leveraging eXtended Realities (XR) for addressing pressing planetary challenges. The focus of the position is on designing and empirically evaluating immersive experiences using state-of-the-art technologies and data analyses. Scientific context eXtended Reality (XR), including virtual and mixed reality, is changing the way we communicate, make decisions, and engage stakeholders. As part of a large NWO funded consortium, called HybridLabs, we are advancing the use of XR for making environmentally sensed data, models, and simulations accessible. We are creating unique immersive experiences using 360 videography and procedurally generated content for single and multi-user scenarios surrounding the North Sea. We are seeking to create the most effective, empirically validated designs for raising awareness and understanding of planetary challenges related to role of the North Sea in transitioning toward sustainable energy sources and its implications for ocean ecology, above and below the surface. Challenges eXtended Reality (XR) is a rapidly evolving field with immense potential, but it also presents significant challenges. Developing and empirically evaluating intuitive and natural user interfaces for individual and collaborative experiences is crucial because it directly impacts how effectively users can interact with and navigate virtual environments. A well-designed immersive experience should feel seamless and intuitive, allowing users to engage with the XR experience without extensive training or discomfort. This is especially important when considering diverse populations and engaging stakeholders and citizens. Moreover, designs and experiences should provide opportunities for impact in the physical world such as raising awareness, being informative, and inspiring behavioral changes. Method This PhD focuses on advancing the scientific understanding of XR in the context of addressing planetary challenges, particularly the ecology of the North Sea. The PhD candidate will be involved in collaborative efforts to design immersive experiences for single and multi-user environments for the North Sea, above and below the surface. The PhD candidate will conduct data intensive empirical studies to evaluate design choices qualitatively and quantitatively using state of the art immersive designs and technologies. We are combining a plethora of sensory information for a comprehensive assessment of immersive designs. Interdisciplinarity, partners, tools, soft- and hardware The PhD candidate will join Wageningen’s emerging immersive technologies and experiences community. Within the HybridLabs project, the candidate will work together with PostDocs and other PhD candidates from, for example, Marine Animal Ecology Group at the WUR. We are collaborating closely with scientists from Triton<https://www.tritonoes.com/> with expertise in producing underwater 360° video footage, as well as scientists from Breda University of Applied Sciences<https://cradle.buas.nl/project/procedural-ocean-view/> with expertise on serious gaming and digital twinning for marine spatial planning. Additionally, the candidate will have access to WUR’s new WANDER facility<https://wander.wur.nl/xr-projects>, which offers a wide array of XR technologies, including VR and MR headsets and biosensors, supported by an excellent creative team. The main platform for XR development will be Unity 3D, but we are exploring other opportunities, too. Programming languages like C# (if in Unity), Python or R (for statistical analysis of empirical data) will be utilized.

by Jillian Aurisano 10 Sep '24

10 Sep '24

IEEE CG&A seeks submissions for its upcoming Sept 2025 special issue on Breakthroughs, Challenges, and Opportunities in Biological Data Visualization, with a submission deadline of Feb 21st, 2025. https://www.computer.org/digital-library/magazines/cg/cfp-biological-data-v… The rapidly expanding data generated by advanced methods in biology is creating enormous challenges at the interface between humans and biological data that can be represented and analyzed visually. To meet these challenges, a blend of methodology from the visualization, bioinformatics and biology domains is required. This methodology encompasses perception and design knowledge, algorithm design, techniques for analyzing and visualizing big data, statistics, and specific domain knowledge for different application problems. Powerful and integrative visualization methods are necessary, as well as methods for visually communicating the outcome of computational analytical methods and findings. This special issue aims to highlight new challenges in biological data visualization (BioVis), and state-of-the-art solutions created by the vibrant BioVis community. We invite contributions on all aspects of data visualization in biology, from molecular to cell, tissue, organism and population biology. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: * Genome and sequence data visualization, including genomic variation data, 3D and 4D genome visualization, and chromosome interaction maps * Multivariate omics data visualization (transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, etc.) * Phylogenetic data visualization, as well as biological networks and pathways * Neurobiology and developmental biology visualization, biological atlases and metadata * Macromolecular structures (e.g., protein or RNA structures) visualization * Biological image data, such as microscopy data visualization * Visualization for the modeling and simulation of biological systems * Biovis systems and software frameworks, and integrating visualization and machine learning for biological analysis * Biological workflows or collaborative processes, processes for interdisciplinary collaboration between biology and visualization, and usability of visualization by biologists, including communicating uncertainty * New challenges, breakthroughs, and opportunities in biological data visualization ________________________________ Submission Guidelines For author information and guidelines on submission criteria, visit the Author’s Information page.

* First IEEE VIS Workshop on Progressive Data Analysis and Visualization (PDAV) October 14, 8:30-11:30 am EDT at IEEE VIS 2024 <https://ieeevis.org/>, St. Pete Beach, Florida, and virtual The program of the workshop is now online: https://ieee-vis-pdav.github.io/program <https://ieee-vis-pdav.github.io/program> With three inspiring keynotes on very diverse and advanced domains and paper presentations: * The Time for Progressive Visualization is Increasingly Now, Danyel Fisher, USA * A Progressive Perspective on Topological Data Analysis, Julien Tierny, Université Paris-Sorbonne, FR * Explaining incremental models, Barbara Hammer, Chair of the Machine Learning research group at the Research Institute for Cognitive Interaction Technology (CITEC), Bielefeld University, DE The workshop is hybrid to allow all the communities concerned by scalability in data exploration to attend, including data management, simulation, statistics, machine learning, and visualization. IEEE VIS 2024's virtual registration <https://ieeevis.org/year/2024/info/registration/conference-registration>only costs $20, so don't hesitate to attend! What is Progressive Data Analysis and Visualization? Progressive Data Analysis and Visualization (PDAV) is a novel programming paradigm designed to achieve scalability in data exploration, interactive visualization, and visual analytics. It controls latency by replacing long computations with a series of smaller computations with bounded latency, improving iteratively until the whole computation is completed or until the user is satisfied with the latest iteration and stops. With PDAV, visual exploration systems can scale to large data sizes and use complex algorithms interactively, provided they are adapted to run progressively. This workshop is aimed at explaining and accelerating the development of the paradigm.
