Visual Analytics Special Issue Call for TVCG
by Dr. David S. Ebert 23 Jul '05

23 Jul '05

CALL FOR PAPERS IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) "Visual Analytics" Special Issue in Late 2006 IEEE Transaction on Visualization and Computer Graphics seeks original manuscripts for a Special Issue on Visual Analytics, scheduled to appear in late 2006. Visual Analytics is the science of analytical reasoning supported by the highly interactive visual interface. People use visual analytics tools and techniques to synthesize information; derive insight from massive, dynamic, and often conflicting data; detect the expected and discover the unexpected; provide timely, defensible, and understandable assessments; and communicate assessments effectively for action. The issues stimulating this body of research provide a grand challenge in science: turning information overload into the opportunity of the decade. Visual analytics requires interdisciplinary science beyond traditional scientific and information visualization to include statistics, mathematics, knowledge representation, management and discovery technologies, cognitive and perceptual sciences, decision sciences, and more. An important research agenda to develop the next generation suite of visual analytics technologies is available at http://nvac.pnl.gov/agenda.stm . Contributions to the special issue should help develop and/or apply the science of Visual Analytics, clearly showing an interdisciplinary approach. Topics of interest for this special issue include, but are not limited to: * Science of analytical reasoning including the human analytic discourse, sensemaking methods, perception and cognition, and collaborative visual analytics * Science of visual representations and interaction techniques including the principles for depicting information, the science of interaction, new visual paradigms, and novel systems and approaches for generating visual analytic visualization and interactions. * Data representation and transformations including scalable data signatures through statistical and semantic approaches for information (text, imagery, video, Web, ), synthesis of diverse information and data signatures within a high dimensional information space(s) for discovery of relationships, and mixed initiative systems. * Methods and tools for capturing the analytics process, producing unwrappable information packages, and story telling for specific and widely varying audiences. * Methods/tools for evaluation, security & privacy, interoperability, and technology insertion practice/experience. Papers for this special issue will be chosen from the submissions whether they are unpublished results or previously included in conference publications. Extended versions of previous conference publications should contain at least 30% new material. Copies of any previous published work affiliated with the new submission must also be included as supportive documentation upon submission.

CfP: Special Issue of Environment and Planning B on “Mapping Humanity's Knowledge and Expertise in the Digital Domain”
by Katy Borner 17 Jul '05

17 Jul '05

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Submissions --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Special Issue of Environment and Planning B “Mapping Humanity's Knowledge and Expertise in the Digital Domain” --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Guest Editors André Skupin, San Diego State University, skupin(a)mail.sdsu.edu Katy Börner, Indiana University, katy(a)indiana.edu Definition and Scope This special issue aims to provide an overview of major research on the visualization of humanity’s collective knowledge and expertise, as it exists in a digital form. Some of the leading-edge research on this topic is found where geography intersects with information / library science, computer science, cognitive science, graphic design, history and other fields. The special issue of Environment and Planning B will present papers on the broad foundations, computational methods, software systems, and evaluation of such data analyses and visualizations, as they have emerged in this interdisciplinary endeavor. Given the importance of efficient knowledge and expertise management at a time of accelerating information flood, we wish to bring major researchers and their work together in this special issue to initiate a major push of research in this area. The metaphors and organizing principles provided by geographic space have received increasing recognition within these diverse disciplines. Publication in Environment and Planning B will help to further broaden the impact that spatial sciences have on efforts to organize large repositories of non-georeferenced data. List of Possible Topics We invite submissions of authors from a variety of disciplines such as geographic information science, cognitive science, digital libraries, database design, data analysis/mining, information visualization, interface design, and others. The recent special issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science on 'Mapping Knowledge Domains' http://www.pnas.org/content/vol101/suppl_1/ is a good example of the diversity of skills and theories required to map humanity's scholarly knowledge and expertise. The following are some of the topics that papers might address: • Historical, Sociological, or Philosophical Perspectives on Knowledge Mapping • Knowledge Discovery, Representation, and Diffusion • Invisible Colleges, Scientific Networks, Social Networks • Bibliometric and Scientometric Approaches • Models of the Structure and Dynamic of Scientific Disciplines • Spatial Metaphors, Geographic Principles, and Cartographic Methods • Interaction Techniques and Storytelling • Map Evaluation, Validation, and Interpretation • Case Studies and Infrastructure Development Submission Process We ask that authors send a tentative title and abstract to the editors by September 15, in order to expedite later editorial and peer review procedures. Then, by November 15, submit to both editors an electronic copy of your paper (up to 6000-8000 words; preferably in Microsoft Word format). All submissions will then undergo a rigorous peer review process to determine the contributions to appear in this special issue, in accordance with the timeline indicated below. A total of 5-6 papers will be included in this issue. Timeline Call for papers issued: July 15, 2005 Notices of Intent Due: September 15, 2005 Full papers due: November 15, 2005 Peer reviews due: January 1, 2005 Authors notified: January 15, 2005 Revisions due: March 1, 2006 About the Guest Editors André Skupin is an assistant professor of Geography at San Diego State University.

Visual information Expert Workshop - Call for papers
by Jean-Daniel Fekete 07 Jul '05

07 Jul '05

From: Pierre Lévy <pierre.levy(a)tnn.ap-hop-paris.fr <mailto:pierre.levy@tnn.ap-hop-paris.fr>> Subject: Visual Information Expert Workshop - Call for papers Visual Information Expert Workshop Paris, France - Apr. 24-25, 2006 www.view2006.org <http://www.view2006.org> Call for papers Nowadays our societies are overloaded by a huge amount of data, and much of it remains underexploited. It is a challenge of our century to propose the best methods to access all the knowledge embedded inside these data. One approach is the use of information visualization methods. Various 1D, 2D and 3D methods exist. A specific 2D approach is the choice of the pixellisation paradigm. The approach adopted by this conference is to state as a postulate that this method is rich and is worth exploring as far as possible. This conference is aiming at creating a space of exchange among all scientists working with the "Pixelisation paradigm". This paradigm assimilates an informational entity to a pixel in such a way that the entities considered as a whole can be converted into an image. Firstly, this paradigm was applied to geographical data, the "pixel" being a subregion of a region. More recently the paradigm was applied to data visualisation, assimilating a data to a pixel inside a qualitative map. The power of the method lies in its simplicity and in its ability to extract hidden information. Both the theoretical and the applied aspects of the paradigm will be addressed during this conference. All sciences are included in the topics, from the most fundamental such as mathematics, to the most applied, e.g. biomedicines. Important dates: * Sept. 15, 2005 Paper abstracts submissions * Oct. 1, 2005 Notifications * Dec. 1, 2005 Papers submissions * Jan. 15, 2006 Notifications * Feb. 15, 2006 Camera ready copies The papers of the conference will be published in a book edited by an International Editor.

The goal of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers from different backgrounds (HCI, software engineering, programming languages, visualization, computer science education) to discuss and present original research on software visualization. SoftVis '03 is the first meeting in a planned series of biennial conferences. Our objective is to make the SoftVis series the premier venue for presenting all types of research on software visualization. Submission information =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D We seek both demos of software visualization systems and posters about software visualization research for a joint demo and poster session during the conference. Authors of accepted demos should bring their own equipment to demonstrate their system. Authors of accepted posters should bring a poster highlighting the research. Both will be presented during an informal session in which conference attendees will be able to browse and discuss the projects. For students, a special student-focused poster session will be held during the parent FCRC conference on the evening before SoftVis begins as well. To submit a poster or demo, you should prepare and electronically submit a brief overview paper. Papers must be in standard ACM 2-column format and cannot exceed 2 pages in total length. Authors should send a PDF file of their submission to stasko(a)cc.gatech.edu by Friday April 18, 2003. For student posters, please indicate this status in the email message. Informal copies of all the accepted demo/poster papers will be distributed to the conference attendees so this will not be an "official" publication. Venue =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D SoftVis '03 is affiliated with the ACM Federated Computing Research Conference, a collection of symposia occurring June 7-14 in San Diego, CA.

Recently, there has been an increasing appreciation of the gains that can be made through the application of findings from the field of experimental psychology. Similarly, the latter may benefit from computational and algorithmic advances in computer science. The purpose of ACM Transactions on Applied Perception is to further the development of inter-disciplinary research that crosses the boundaries between perception and computer science disciplines such as graphics, vision, acoustics and haptics. This journal aims to broaden the synergy between computer science and psychology/perception by publishing top quality papers that help to unify research in these fields. The scope of this journal includes applications and algorithms in any area of research that incorporates elements of perception and computer science. Topics include, but are not limited to: Visual: perceptually based techniques in computer graphics, scientific/data/information visualization, digital imaging and computer vision. Auditory: auditory display and interfaces, perceptual auditory coding, spatialized sound, speech synthesis/recognition Haptics: haptic rendering, haptic input and perception Sensorimotor: vestibular interfaces, eye/head tracking input, gesture input, body movement input Multimodal rendering and multimodal interaction: Sensory integration: ____________________ Submission procedure ____________________ We will begin accepting papers in March 2003 and anticipate to publish the first issue in January 2004. Please visit the ACM Transactions on Applied Perception web site http://www.acm.org/tap/ for information on how to submit papers. _______________ Editorial board _______________ Andrew Beall, University of California, Santa Barbara Perry Cook, Princeton University Bill Cowan, University of Waterloo Ramani Duraiswami, University of Maryland James Elder, York University James Ferwerda, Cornell University Tom Funkhouser, Princeton University Yves Guiard, CNRS & Universite de la Mediterranee Christopher Healey, North Carolina State University Ken Hinckley, Microsoft Corporation Victoria Interrante, University of Minnesota Dan Kersten, University of Minnesota Roberta Klatzky, Carnegie Mellon University Michael Langer, McGill University Susan Lederman, Queen's University Jack M.

Sackler Colloquium on "Mapping Knowledge Domains" The Arnold and Mabel Beckman Center, Irvine, CA May 9-11, 2003 http://vw.indiana.edu/sackler03/ Sponsored by the The National Academy of Sciences **************************************************** Symposium Organizer Richard M. Shiffrin Psychology Department, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405 tel: 812-855-4972, fax: 812-855-1086, email: shiffrin(a)indiana.edu Associate Organizer Katy B=F6rner School of Library and Information Science, Indiana University, Bloomington, IN 47405 tel: 812-855-3256, fax: 812-855-6166, email: katy(a)indiana.edu Organizing Committee Kevin Boyack, Sandia National Laboratories Chaomei Chen, Drexel University Susan Dumais, Microsoft Corporation Jon Kleinberg, Cornell University Thomas K. Landauer, University of Colorado Josh Tenenbaum, Massachusetts Institute of Technology Motivation & Description The information explosion in recent years, often in the form of information available electronically, has sparked development of a new interdisciplinary area of science aimed at charting, mining, analyzing, sorting, and displaying interesting and important aspects of this knowledge and information. Indeed, progress in this area is critically important for the functioning of modern society, and particularly for the growth of scientific research, because without such tools it has become almost impossible to find and organize relevant information. We therefore propose a Sackler Colloquium aimed to highlight the many facets of this emerging field. Information on this colloquium, as far as it is known at the present time, may be found at the website: http://vw.indiana.edu/sackler03/. The tentative schedule is enclosed. Database A major goal of the proposed colloquium is to demonstrate and compare different techniques, algorithms, and approaches that can be utilized to map knowledge domains. In order to facilitate this goal, registered participants are eligible to utilize the so called PNAS Data Set. The data set comprises full text documents from the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences covering 01-07-1997 to 09-17-2002 (148 issues containing some 93,000 journal pages). The data is available on Microsoft Access 97 format. Paper Submission & Student Packages Due to severe space and time limitations, a large number of researchers who carry out highly relevant research, indeed in many cases leaders in the field, could not be included among the list of speakers. However, we would like to encourage these researcher to attend the Colloquium and if possible to contribute to the colloquium by submitting a 2-page abstract by March 1st, 2003. The organizers will review these abstracts and select those of quality to be presented as a poster or demonstration during a session we have set aside for this purpose. There will be a number of student packages available, also offering the opportunity to present a poster or demonstration (the packages will provide the registration fee plus $500 support). If you have students that would like to apply, please encourage them to send a two page abstract, and send a supporting statement on their behalf by March 1st, 2003. Please submit papers as well as statements in support of students to sackler-submit(a)slis.indiana.edu. We hope you will be able to attend this colloquium, and would be pleased if you could take part.

InfoVis is the primary meeting in the field of information visualization, and is held in conjunction with the IEEE Visualization 2003 (Vis03) conference. Computer-based information visualization, or "infovis", centers around helping people explore or explain data by designing interactive software that exploits the capabilities of the human perceptual system. The central design challenge in infovis is designing a cognitively useful spatial mapping of a dataset that is not inherently spatial. There are many possible visual encodings, only a fraction of which are helpful for a given task. We draw on the intellectual history of several traditions, including computer graphics, human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, semiotics, graphic design, statistical graphics, cartography, and art. The synthesis of relevant ideas from these fields with new methodologies and techniques made possible by interactive computation are critical for helping people keep pace with the torrents of data confronting them. One of the few resources increasing faster than the speed of computer hardware is the amount of data to be processed. We encourage submissions of papers (31 Mar 03 deadline), interactive posters (1 Aug 03 deadline), and InfoVis Contest entries (1 Aug 03 deadline). We encourage the use of digital video to support the submission, particularly if part or all of the work covers interactive techniques. ======================================================================Papers: due Mon 31 March 2003 5:00pm PST ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We solicit papers in five categories: technique, system, design study, evaluation, and model. Although many papers might include elements of more than one of these categories, for the purposes of reviewing you will be asked to decide which best fits your submission. Technique Technique papers introduce novel techniques or algorithms that have not previously appeared in the literature. We also welcome papers that significantly extend techniques or algorithms that have been previously presented, for example by scaling to datasets of much larger size than before or by generalizing a technique to a larger class of uses. The technique or algorithm description provided in the paper should be complete enough that a competent graduate student in visualization could implement the work, and the authors should create a prototype implementation of the methods. Relevant previous work must be referenced, and the advantage of the new methods over it should be clearly demonstrated. There should be a discussion of the tasks and datasets for which this new method is appropriate, and its limitations. Evaluation through informal or formal user studies, or other methods, will often serve to strengthen the paper, but are not mandatory. Past work that would fall into this category includes: algorithms for layout and navigation of trees, graphs, and networks; interaction techniques for infovis; browsing and navigation techniques in large information spaces; geometric or graphics algorithms for increased scalability of existing techniques; and techniques for visualizing very high dimensional (100+ D) spaces. This list is not exclusive, and we welcome submissions in these and all other areas of infovis. System System papers present a blend of algorithms, technical requirements, user requirements, and design that solves a major problem. The system that is described is both novel and important, and it has been implemented. The rationale for significant design decisions is provided, and the system is compared to documented, best-of-breed systems already in use. The comparison includes specific discussion of how the described system differs from and is, in some significant respects, superior to those systems. For example, the proposal may offer substantial advancements in the performance or usability of infovis systems, or novel capabilities. Every effort should be made to eliminate external factors (such as advances in processor performance, memory sizes or operating system features) that would affect this comparison. For further suggestions, please review "How (and How Not) to Write a Good Systems Paper" by Roy Levin and David Redell at http://www.acm.org/sigops/advice.html, and "Empirical Methods in CS and AI" by Toby Walsh at http://www-users.cs.york.ac.uk/~tw/empirical.html Design Study Design study papers explore the choices made when applying infovis techniques in an application area, for example relating the visual encodings and interaction techniques to the requirements of the target task. Although a limited amount of application domain background information can be useful to provide a framing context in which to discuss the specifics of the target task, the primary focus of the case study must be the infovis content. Describing new techniques and algorithms developed to solve the target problem will strengthen a design study paper, but the requirements for novelty are less stringent than in a Technique paper. The work will be judged by the design lessons learned, and on which future contributors can build. We invite submissions on any application area. In past years these areas have included bioinformatics, data mining and databases, finance and commerce, telecommunications and networking, information retrieval from large text corpora, and computer-supported cooperative work (CSCW). This year we particularly encourage submissions in the application area of software engineering, a shared focus with our Vis 03 parent conference. Evaluation Evaluation papers are an empirical comparative study of infovis techniques or systems. Authors are not necessarily expected to implement the systems used in these studies themselves; the research contribution will be judged on the validity and importance of the experimental results as opposed to the novelty of the systems or techniques under study. The conference committee appreciates the difficulty and importance of designing and performing rigorous experiments, including the definition of appropriate hypotheses, tasks, data sets, selection of subjects, measurement, validation and conclusions. The goal of such efforts should be to move from mere description of experiments, toward prediction and explanation. We do suggest that potential authors who have not had formal training in the design of experiments involving human subjects may wish to partner with a colleague from an area such as psychology or human-computer interaction who has experience with designing rigorous experimental protocols and statistical analysis of the resulting data. Model Model papers present new interpretations of the foundational theory of information visualization. Example of past work in this area are taxonomies, extensions to Bertin's theories of visual encoding, analysis of metaphors, perception, cognitive models, visual comparisons and indications of causality. Implementations are usually not relevant for papers in this category. Papers should focus on basic advancement in our understanding of how infovis techniques complement and exploit properties of human vision and cognition. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Papers Review Process ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The length of the paper should be commensurate with its contributions, up to a maximum of eight (8) pages. For example, a useful idea presented completely and concisely in four pages is more likely to be accepted than the same idea presented in eight pages. The length limit includes figures, which may be in color because the proceedings will be printed in full color throughout. See the InfoVis 03 Submissions page (http://www.infovis.org/infovis2003/submit.shtml) for details on format and electronic submission of papers and optional accompanying digital video. Papers are peer-reviewed, and this year we are moving to a two-tier reviewing model. The program committee will consist of senior reviewers who will recruit additional external reviewers. Each paper will be read by two senior reviewers on the program committee and two additional external reviewers. A paper may be accepted under the condition that its length is decreased. All papers submitted to InfoVis03 must be original, unpublished work. Any paper that has been previously published in equivalent or substantially similar form by any other conference or in any other journal will be rejected at an early stage of the review process, as will papers that are simultaneously submitted to InfoVis03 and to any other conference or journal. A paper is considered published if it has appeared in a peer-reviewed journal or in published meeting proceedings that are commercially available afterward to nonattendees. Note that work described in the Interactive Posters or Late-Breaking Hot Topics venues from previous InfoVis symposia is thus not considered formally published, and you are free to submit work based on that core (although it's unlikely to be accepted unless you've made substantial progress since then). Submissions are treated as confidential communications during the review process, so submission does not constitute public disclosure of any ideas therein. Submissions should contain no information or materials that will be proprietary or confidential at the time of publication (19 October 2003), and should cite no publications that are proprietary or confidential at the time of publication. =======================================================================Posters: due Fri 1 Aug 2003 5:00pm PST ------------------------------------------------------------------------ The interactive poster category includes both traditional posters and demonstrations of interactive systems, either live on a laptop or through video. We encourage both submissions of original unpublished work and submissions showcasing systems of interest to the information visualization community that have been presented in other venues. Accepted posters will be included electronically on the IEEE Visualization 2003 Conference DVD, placed on the official infovis.org web site, and also distributed in a hardcopy compendium to all symposium and conference attendees. All authors of accepted interactive posters are required to bring an explanatory hardcopy poster for display during the scheduled evening poster session, and be available for discussion at that time. Accepted authors who wish to also show demos of their work are encouraged to also bring a laptop to the poster session. There will be a limited number of stations for showing videos during the main poster session. Authors who wish to show a live demo but cannot provide their own machine should contact the posters chairs in advance of the submission deadline to discuss the logistics. All authors who plan to show live demos or video should clearly indicate this fact in their submissions. Authors are also required to present a very brief summary (1-3 powerpoint slides) of their interactive poster at a short preview session earlier in the day. Interactive poster authors must submit a 2 page summary, in two-column SIGGRAPH format as described <a href="#papersubmit">above</a> for papers. Those who intend to show demos are highly encouraged to also submit an accompanying video. Clearly identify the type of your submission by including the prefix "Interactive Poster:" in the title of your summary. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Posters Review Process ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Each poster will be read and evaluated by both of the Posters Chairs. Submissions will be evaluated based on whether the content is suitable for the venue and is not a repetition of the work of others. Authors of posters that are not accepted will receive summary reviews of their poster from the chairs explaining the decision and providing feedback. See the InfoVis 03 Submissions page (http://www.infovis.org/infovis2003/submit.shtml) for details on format and electronic submission of posters and optional accompanying digital video. =======================================================================Contest: due Fri 1 Aug 2003 5:00pm PST ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Our goal in organizing this new participation category is to initiate the development of benchmarks for information visualization, establish a forum to promote evaluation methods, and create a new interesting event at the conference. For Infovis 2003 we are inviting the submissions of case studies of the use of information visualization for pairwise comparison of trees. Several pairs of datasets will be provided February 1st, along with a description of the data and open-ended tasks. Contest entries will consist of a 2-page summary, a video and accompanying materials. First place entries will receive a prize and will have a speaking slot to present their work during the contest session at the conference. Second place entries will present a contest poster. (Note that duplicate submissions should *not* be made to both the poster and contest categories.) All accepted entry materials will be made available online after the conference. For more information: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/iv03contest/ =======================================================================Presenter Requirements ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Submission of a paper, poster, or contest entry is considered a commitment for at least one author to register and attend the conference as a presenter if the work is accepted. In the case that extraordinary circumstances arise that prevent an author from personally presenting the work, it is the author's responsibility to arrange in advance for an alternate presenter.

The tutorial will introduce advanced data mining and information visualization techniques that can be used to support science and technology management. It will demonstrate how large amounts of, e.g., publication, patent, and grant data can be analyzed, correlated, and visualized to map the semantic space of researchers, publications, funding, etc.. The resulting visualizations can be utilized to objectively identify major research areas, experts, institutions, grants, publications, journals, etc. in a research area of interest. In addition, they can assist to identify interconnections, the import and export of research between fields, the dynamics (speed of growth, diversification) of scientific fields, scientific and social networks, and the impact of strategic and applied research funding programs, among others.

Computers are evolving into mediators of human-to-human and human-to-data interaction. Domain experts are often spread out in space and across time zones and consultation and collaboration has to proceed remotely instead of face-to-face. Distributed teams need to collaborate and access shared data while some of their team members are outside of their office environments, presenting a new set of challenges in terms of data usage and share. Collaborative information visualization environments (CIVEs) enable users to interact both with visualizations of data -- e.g. access, explore, visualize and manipulate data -- as well as enabling them to interact with one another. Such user-user interactions may involve referring to the data visualizations: e.g. users can chat with one another and, in the process, be able to refer to elements of the visualization; and/or users can annotate a part or state or even recorded segment of the visualization so that others can see and comment on it later. In addition, CIVEs often visualize user interactions themselves to facilitate information access, collaboration, and decision-making. Currently, research on CIVEs is published in diverse subject areas such as: * Visual interfaces to digital libraries * Collaborative filtering, problem solving, or learning * Organizational memory / collective intelligence / collaborative memory palaces * Mobile computing * Communicative environments * Digital cities * Social computing / distributed meetings * Social visualization * (Usability) studies of CIVEs In organizing this symposium, we wish to bring together original CIVE research pertinent to the design and/or evaluation of CIVEs from these different subject areas. OBJECTIVES The symposium is a forum for discussion about CIVEs designed for various user groups, application domains, and interfaces such as 2-D desktop interfaces, 3-D virtual environments/virtual worlds, handheld devices, etc. that utilize different information Visualization algorithms, interaction techniques, and modes of collaboration (e.g. Synchronous, asynchronous). Main objectives include, but are not limited to: * Increase our understanding of the design requirements for CIVEs. * Closely examine long-term use of particular CIVEs. * Identify collaborative practices in collocated visualization processes that might be supported in CIVEs. * Gain a better understanding of architectural and infrastructure requirements for CIVEs. You are invited to participate in the discussion by submitting papers and attending the Symposium. Authors of accepted papers will be invited to submit an extended version of their work for review and publication in a special journal issue on this topic.

Over the past few years the rise of Information Visualization has produced a diverse range of dynamic and highly interactive visual environments. These exploratory tools enable a user to investigate, try out scenarios and search the information and visual space to generate better hypothesis and develop a better understanding of the underlying information. Such investigative environments often utilize many different views of the same data, so the user understands the information from different perspectives; the views are also tightly coupled together to allow rapid coordinated investigation and exploration. Original papers are solicited in the area of coordinated and exploratory visualization. In particular we encourage papers detailing novel architectures, formal models, applications and in-depth reviews. Example topics include, but are not limited to: * Multiple view techniques (including multiform views and multiple representations) * Coordinated views, tight coupling, linked views * Dynamic and rapid interactive visualization techniques * Formal models (covering appropriate topics such as coordination and rapid investigation) * Multiple views for Interactive steering * Visualization management for view explosion * Data transformation and re-expression for exploratory visualization * Exploratory visualization methods/algorithms/tools * Novel exploratory visualization architectures * Visual query languages for exploratory visualization * Case studies and applications of coordinated and multiple views * Reviews and surveys of related literature * Spreadsheet based visualization techniques * Possible application areas such as (but not limited to): GeoVisualization; Mathematical and Statistical exploration; Bioinformatics; Medical visualization; web site data; web browsing strategies; Astronomical data Submission Instructions ----------------------- Please prepare your submission (maximum 12 pages) according to the conference guidelines found at http://www.cvev.org/cmv2003/submission.html * Accepted papers will appear in the proceedings, which will be published by the IEEE Computer Society. * Best papers will be invited to submit to a Special Issue on "Coordinated and Multiple Views in Exploratory Visualization" of the Information Visualization Journal (Palgrove/Macmillan) Submission Procedure -------------------- Potential Authors are invited to submit a PDF of their submission to cmv(a)cvev.org Nadia Boukhelifa, Computing Laboratory, University of Kent, Canterbury, Kent.

A single registration will permit attendees to attend any talk in the three conferences, which will be scheduled in parallel tracks. The conference will also include a banquet, and a posters and demos session. Graphics Interface is expanding its format. In 2003 there will be more Interface and just as much Graphics. It will have joint sessions to accommodate the expansion and there will be separate but coordinated sub-committees for the HCI and Graphics tracks. GI 2003 will be the 29th Graphics Interface conference and it is the oldest continuously scheduled conference in the field. This event consistently attracts high-quality papers on recent advances in computer graphics, interactive systems, and human computer interaction topics from around the world. June is a fantastic time to visit Halifax. Founded in 1749, Halifax is known for its beauty, maritime charm and friendliness, and quality of life. This city by the sea offers many of the amenities of a large city -- diverse cultural activities, a vibrant downtown, museums, theatre, and festivals, while still maintaining its small-town charm. Come and enjoy a walk through Historic Properties, a boat cruise on Halifax Harbour or a traditional lobster dinner. Summary of Deadlines: Paper and Panel Submission: December 1, 2002 (extended!!)

Inaugurated in 1997, it marked the first appearance of a conference solely devoted to basic research in those technology areas that enhance, and in some cases, revolutionize the way we configure, execute and analyze the results of simulations. Many of you have been involved in our conference from the beginning; but for some of you this is the first you're hearing about it. Well, we'd like to tell you all about it... but we're late. Very late. Most of the deadlines on all published announcements of the conference have passed. The coordinators of the SPIE Conference have requested that we provide them with a completed schedule for the Enabling Technologies Conference by early November. Despite all that, we believe we can do it... with your help. We are particularly interested in presentations regarding Information Visualization. If you have an interest in presenting a paper, chairing a session, defining a panel, workshop, etc., *please* contact us so that we can start coordinating with you and penciling in anticipated sessions. Perhaps you and some colleagues are performing similar research; such that together you'd form a focused session. Also, if you are aware of anyone else -- either individuals, or other M&S research organizations -- who might be interested in participating, please inform him/her that time is of the essence. We could use all the help we can get in putting together the conference program, especially this late in the game. Now for some of the details... Conference: Enabling Technologies for Simulation Science VII (http://www.spie.org/conferences/calls/03/or/conferences/index.cfm?fuseactio n=3DOR29) Where: Gaylord Palms Resort, Orlando FL (http://www.gaylordhotels.com/gaylordpalms/splash.cfm) When: 22-25 April 03 We strongly encourage you to submit your abstract via the link on the conference web site (http://www.spie.org/conferences/calls/03/or/conferences/index.cfm?fuseactio n=3DOR29). In that we are so late in finalizing this program, we request that you also send your abstract and contact information to us by email. If you wish to participate, please submit your abstract by Wednesday, 06 November. Remember, camera ready manuscripts aren't due until March 2002, so, for now, the abstract (and your contact information) is what we need to focus on.

In the Intelligent User Interfaces department at DFKI, Germany (www.dfki.de) we developed a tool called the "MAUT Machine", based on treemaps for the visualization of an electronic product catalogue and MAUT/AHP (see decision theory) to recommend the products that best suit the user preferences. Whereas the use of treemaps for displaying a product catalogue isn't new (see the Honeycomb product at http://www.http://www.hivegroup.com/) the strengh of our prototype is the combination of treemaps and the preferences/products matchmaking algorithm because the user can directly see how well (score between 0 and 1) the products fulfill the different interests of the user. Technical details: It can be used with various application domains (cars database, travel, etc) and integrate with any relational database. Completely written in java it runs as an applet that interacts with servlets running on a tomcat container. The Treemaps layout used is based on the work from Frederic Vernier as described in "Modifiable treemaps containing variable-shaped units"(Extended Abstracts of the IEEE Information Visualization 2000) There is an online demo available at http://www2.dfki.de:8080/mautmachine/html/index.html as well as a short paper describing the theoretical background needed to use it. Any comment or suggestions are welcomed.

Freely available since 1994, Xmdv supports a wide range of visualization techniques (parallel coordinates, scatterplot matrices, glyphs, and dimensional stacking) and interactive navigation and selection tools. Users can view all their data at once or, for large data sets, hierarchically cluster the data and explore it at multiple resolutions. The system, implemented using OpenGL and Tcl/Tk, will compile and run on both Windows and Unix platforms (build tools are provided for each). New features provided in Version 5.0 include: * Expanded data importation - accepts data from files or Oracle databases * New user interface * Enhanced zooming in all displays * Structure-based distortion in parallel coordinates and scatterplot displays * Built-in clustering algorithm for hierarchical visualization/exploration * Functions for screen capture and saving data selections to files * Improved rendering speed * Expanded Help menu * Auxiliary tools for data clustering and importing Excel spreadsheets For questions regarding XmdvTool, please e-mail Matt Ward at matt(a)cs.wpi.edu and/or visit our web site at http://davis.wpi.edu/xmdv. =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D INFOVIS DIGEST INFORMATION moderator: Stefano Foresti - stefano.foresti(a)utah.edu supporting web site: http://www.infovis.org posting address: infovis-digest(a)infovis.org To SUBSCRIBE: 1- email to majordomo(a)infovis.org (do NOT reply to this email) 2- write the following line in the message (NOT subject): subscribe infovis-digest To UNSUBSCRIBE: 1- email to majordomo(a)infovis.org (do NOT reply to this email) 2- write the following line in the message (NOT subject): unsubscribe infovis-digest Information accepted for inclusion in the digest will include: - Research and development projects across academia and industry - Conference notices, book announcements & reviews, lectures - Interesting papers, web sites, videos - Requests for help on specific research problems - Employment and student opportunities - Commercial product announcements and descriptions Questions/problems about infovis digest to stefano.foresti(a)utah.edu >From stefano.foresti(a)utah.edu Reply-To: <infovis-digest(a)chpc.utah.edu> From: "Stefano Foresti" <stefano.foresti(a)utah.edu> Sender: <owner-infovis-digest(a)chpc.utah.edu> To: "Infovis-Digest@Infovis.

Meade, MD 20755-6644 jprange(a)nsa.gov 301-688-7092 (Voice) 800-276-3747 (Voice) 301-688-7410 (Fax) http://www.ic-arda.org ********************************************* BACKGROUND ON GI2Vis ADVANCED R&D Program =3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D GI2Vis has been developed under ARDA's guidance and direction by representatives from a number of Intelligence Community Agencies. NIMA has agreed to issue the solicitation for GI2Vis. The evaluation of white papers and proposals, the selection of awardees, the execution of the resulting contracts, and the overall management of GI2Vis will also be accomplished jointly by NIMA and other Intelligence Community Agencies under the guidance and direction of ARDA. While Phase II of the GI2Vis R&D Program continues many of the research topics and areas of interest established in Phase I, Phase II is a new solicitation and as such stands on its own. All Phase II contract awards will be made to Offerors who submit proposals to this current BAA solicitation and who are selected for award based upon the government's evaluation of all submitted optional white papers and full proposals. No Phase I contracts will be carried over into Phase II. Phase II of the GI2Vis R&D Program, with a performance period of 24 months, will be devoted to in-depth research within the three GI2Vis topics of interest listed below and described in far more detail in Part II, Section 5 of the GI2Vis BAA identified above. Innovative ideas that address the following research areas of interest are encouraged: 1. Integration and Representation of Disparate and Large Information Sources 2. Maximizing Visualization Effectiveness and Facilitating Visualization Use; 3. Visualization of Tacit Knowledge. ARDA believes that Information Visualization has high potential to be a powerful force multiplier within a number of distinct analysis and reporting functions used by all types of Intelligence Community Analysts across the entire spectrum of the Intelligence Community. But for any number of reasons the high potential that information visualization appears to tantalizingly offer has not yet been fully realized. ARDA does not believe that there is a single, simple, elegant way to correct this situation. Rather ARDA believes that significant, marked progress can be achieved towards achieving this potential by focusing advanced R&D activities against several key, underlying roadblocks to this progress. ARDA's GI2Vis R&D Program has been established to focus on these selected areas of Information Visualization on behalf of the Intelligence Community. The Phase II GI2Vis Program BAA document describes three similar, yet distinct "Analytic Uses of Information Visualization" that ARDA and the GI2Vis Program have identified within the Intelligence Community that will focus and drive the research that will conducted throughout the GI2Vis Program. It is within the scope and context of these three analytic uses that the technical problem descriptions of the three research areas, that are identified above and that are described in more detail in the BAA, need to be interpreted and understood by potential offerors of technical proposals developed and submitted in response to this BAA. The three Analytic Uses of Information Visualization that ARDA and the GI2Vis Program have identified are: Exploration of Massive, Complex, Heterogeneous Data (Or more simply "Exploration") ******************************************* The goal of this use of visualization is to more effectively and efficiently assist the Analyst is performing varying degrees of undirected knowledge discovery against potentially unknown data sources that may be massive, diverse, and/ or complex. In this environment, the hope is that Analysts will recognize the importance of information and knowledge when they see it. "I'll know it when I see it". Deep Analysis of Relevant, Related, Topical Information (Or more simply "Deep Analysis") ******************************************* The starting assumption in this use of visualization is that the Analyst, by one means or another, has accumulated a manageable collection of information that he or she believes is relevant or otherwise related to the current intelligence requirement that the Analyst is currently working on. The goal of the Analyst at this stage is to discover and understand how the individual pieces of information that he or she is starting with fit together in a larger mosaic. The hope is that information visualization will make this process far more effective and efficient from the Analyst's perspective. Presentation of Intelligence Analysis Results to Senior Decision Makers/Intelligence Community Customers (Or more simply "Presentation") ******************************************* In this case the Analyst has completed his or her analysis of the data and information associated with a given intelligence requirement to a sufficient level that reportable intelligence results are now available. The hope is that more formal information visualization presentations will make this reporting function far more effective and efficient particularly when complex, detailed intelligence results involving potentially alternative scenarios/analyses need to be presented in a succinct, yet comprehensive manner.

Unlike most scientific numerical data, information is quite often abstract having no naturally occurring physical form or representation. Information Visualization involves the conversion of the abstract into concrete visual representations and building user interfaces supporting tasks such as searching, discovery, identification, and data mining. This involves using among others computer graphics and imaging techniques. Information visualization is an increasingly important research and development area and is crucial for the success of the information revolution. Effective visualization, information design & presentation will enable users from all walks of life to use the information highway easily and efficiently. They are however some road blocks to the success of information technology. They include - Distributed visualization and collaboration - Visualizing massive 3D and 4D dataset in real and virtual environment - Visualization of large museum collections - Effective visualizations, presentations and designs which will enable users to use information technology easily and efficiently - Geo-spatial data visualization - Network-centric visualization - Data mining - Visualization in virtual laboratories The workshop on "Information Visualization, Presentation, and Design" will take place on 10-12 July 2002 at the Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris. The audience will consist some of the most active and well-known researchers and developers in Information Visualization, Presentation, and Design from Europe, U.S., Canada, Asia and Latin America. The participants will discuss the state-of-the art of these important technologies and arts, what are the future directions that are needed for research and development and for real-world implementations. The Workshop will consist of invited talks, short papers, demonstrations and posters in the following sessions: - Information visualization in Museum collection - Distributed visualization and collaboration - Visualizing massive 3D and 4D dataset in real and virtual environment - Geospatial data visualization - Network-centric visualization - Visualization in data mining application - Visualization in virtual laboratories - What storytelling can do for information visualization? - Information presentation and design issues The workshop will be supported by CODATA, the French Ministry for Industry, and by Museum National d'Histoire Naturelle, Paris and is in cooperation with IEEE Computer Society Task force on Human Centered Information Systems.

Papers submitted as full papers may, at the discretion of the program co-chairs, be invited for publication and presentation as short papers. InfoVis 2002 Short Papers (due March 29, 2002) Short papers should be at most 4 printed pages. The short paper category is intended for two submission types: a) case studies describing how information visualization has contributed to working applications in real-life environments and b) technical notes that, though novel and of interest to the community, do not warrant a full paper submission. Clearly identify the type of your submission by including the prefix "Case Study:" or "Technical Note:" in the title of your short paper submission. InfoVis 2002 Interactive Posters (due July 1, 2002) The interactive poster category includes both traditional posters and demonstrations of interactive systems, either live on a laptop or through video. We encourage both submissions of original unpublished work and submissions showcasing systems of interest to the information visualization community that have been presented in other venues. All authors of accepted interactive posters are required to bring an explanatory hardcopy poster for display during the scheduled evening poster session, and be available for discussion at that time. Accepted authors who wish to also show demos of their work are encouraged to also bring a laptop to the poster session. Authors are required to present a very brief summary of their interactive poster at a short preview session earlier in the day. There will be a limited number of stations for showing videos during that session. Authors who wish to show a live demo but cannot provide their own machine should contact the posters chairs in advance of the submission deadline to discuss the logistics. All authors who plan to show live demos or video should clearly indicate this fact in their submissions. Interactive poster authors must submit a 2 page extended abstract, and those who intend to show demos are highly encouraged to also submit an accompanying video. Clearly identify the type of your submission by including the prefix "Interactive Poster:" in the title of your extended abstract. Submissions: Please prepare your submission according to the IEEE CS Press Author Guidelines at <http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm>, with the understanding that the papers proceedings will be printed in full color. Submissions longer than the page limits will not be considered. Papers should be submitted electronically as PDF (Adobe portable document format) files. Details of the submission process will be posted on the InfoVis 2002 web site. Submissions to any of the InfoVis 2002 categories may be accompanied by supporting digital movies with a maximum length of 5 minutes. Accompanying movies will assist in the review process. Movies viewable with QuickTime Player or Windows Media Player should be submitted electronically. Publication: Accepted long and short papers will be published in an archival-quality proceedings directly from revised PDF files submitted by the authors. The proceedings will be printed with a high- resolution full color printing process. The accepted papers, along with supporting media, will also be included in the conference DVD. The IEEE Computer Society will distribute the proceedings. Extended abstracts of accepted interactive posters will be distributed in the black and white InfoVis 2002 Interactive Posters Compendium, using revised PDF files submitted by the authors. The Posters Compendium will be available only at the conference. Abstracts and accompanying material such as digital movies will also be made available from the conference web site. For detailed information concerning submission, please see the symposium web site, or email infovis(a)vis.computer.org.

It is organised by the Visual Computing Group, part of the Information Technology CNR Institute, in association with Eurographics, in the context of the Eurographics Working Group on Rendering Activities. The workshop is well established as a major international forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences in the area of rendering algorithms and techniques. Topics: Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas: - Local illumination and reflection models and methods (including BRDF measurement) - Global illumination methods (Monte Carlo, finite element techniques) - Sampling, filtering, and anti-aliasing - Visibility algorithms - Human perception and error measures - Texture models, analysis, and synthesis - Non-polygonal rendering (Point-based, image-based) - Systems and software architectures for rendering - New rendering hardware and new uses of existing hardware - Experimental or practice-and-experience comparative studies of existing methods - Rendering solutions for virtual/augmented reality and interactive systems - Inverse rendering and computer vision related algorithms - Real-time rendering - Non-photorealistic rendering Research and development driven by real-world applications are encouraged. A short paper category (6 page limit) is available in addition to full papers (12 page limits). The category of submitted papers will be decided based on the reviewing results, but authors may submit papers specifically to the short paper category. As has been the tradition in previous workshops, the presentation format will allow for ample discussion time. The number of participants will be limited to 100. Internationally known speakers will give invited lectures. In addition to both short and full papers, this year authors may also submit posters containing preliminary results or speculative ideas. These posters will be peer-reviewed and will be appear at the workshop, but will not be printed in the final ACM Press workshop proceedings. Authors of accepted papers may also enter a competition to produce a cover image for the preliminary proceedings distributed at the workshop. Details of the competition may be found on the workshop web site. Important Dates in the Year 2002 are: Wednesday, March 27 Electronic abstract submission deadline Friday, March 29 Electronic paper/poster submission deadline Monday, April 1 Submission deadline for videos Monday, May 13 Author notification Saturday, June 1 Camera-ready copy deadline June 26 - 28 Workshop Submission Procedure: NOTE: ALL SUBMISSIONS THIS YEAR ARE ELECTRONIC. Authors are requested to submit (via email) an abstract for their paper or poster by Wednesday March 27th 2002 to the following address: egwr02(a)cs.man.ac.uk Authors will then receive further information by email regarding the electronic submission of their papers and posters (in PDF or Postscript format) to the workshop ftp site. Authors experiencing problems with electronic submission of contributions should contact the program co-chairs directly. The abstract submission email should contain the names and institutions of all authors, contact information of one contact author (name, e-mail, postal address, phone and fax numbers), and the (not necessarily final) title and abstract of the submission. Courier-service mail will be used only for those submissions that the co-chairs find unusable, and for videos accompanying papers. In the latter case, one paper copy of the paper should be sent along with five copies of the accompanying videotape or CD-ROM to one of the two program co-chairs. In the case of videotapes an effort should be made to include the segment in both PAL and NTSC on the same VHS tape, to ensure that it can be seen by all reviewers. An authors toolkit including LaTeX and MS Word style files is available from the conference Web page. Submissions missing the deadline will be considered with reduced priority, to the extent practical within the short review cycle.

Original papers are solicited in all areas of information visualization. In addition, we are encouraging submissions on bioinformatics, following the bio-visualization theme of our parent conference, Vis2002. In particular, the symposium is interested in all aspects of abstract visualization of digital biology information. Topics include: * Bioinformatics visualization * Browsing and navigation methods * Data structures and models underlying visualization * Empirical studies of information visualization techniques * Graph / network visualizations * Information presentation as storytelling * Interactive techniques for information visualization * Information visualization for heterogeneous audiences * Multi-dimensional information visualization * Visual data mining * Visualization and knowledge discovery * Visualization for mobile computing * Visualization in CSCW * Visualization applications in areas such as o Algorithms o Commerce and financial systems o Complex information o Internet and WWW o Mobile computing o Search results o Textual information InfoVis 2002 Full Papers (due March 29, 2002) Full papers should be at most 8 printed pages. Full papers present previously unpublished, original results. Papers submitted as full papers may, at the discretion of the program co-chairs, be invited for publication and presentation as short papers. InfoVis 2002 Short Papers (due March 29, 2002) Short papers should be at most 4 printed pages. The short paper category is intended for two submission types: a) case studies describing how information visualization has contributed to working applications in real-life environments and b) technical notes that, though novel and of interest to the community, do not warrant a full paper submission. Clearly identify the type of your submission by including the prefix "Case Study:" or "Technical Note:" in the title of your short paper submission. InfoVis 2002 Interactive Posters (due July 1, 2002) The interactive poster category includes both traditional posters and demonstrations of interactive systems, either live on a laptop or through video. We encourage both submissions of original unpublished work and submissions showcasing systems of interest to the information visualization community that have been presented in other venues. All authors of accepted interactive posters are required to bring an explanatory hardcopy poster for display during the scheduled evening poster session, and be available for discussion at that time. Accepted authors who wish to also show demos of their work are encouraged to also bring a laptop to the poster session. Authors are required to present a very brief summary of their interactive poster at a short preview session earlier in the day. There will be a limited number of stations for showing videos during that session. Authors who wish to show a live demo but cannot provide their own machine should contact the posters chairs in advance of the submission deadline to discuss the logistics. All authors who plan to show live demos or video should clearly indicate this fact in their submissions. Interactive poster authors must submit a 2 page extended abstract, and those who intend to show demos are highly encouraged to also submit an accompanying video. Clearly identify the type of your submission by including the prefix "Interactive Poster:" in the title of your extended abstract. Submissions: Please prepare your submission according to the IEEE CS Press Author Guidelines at <http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm>, with the understanding that the papers proceedings will be printed in full color. Submissions longer than the page limits will not be considered. Papers should be submitted electronically as PDF (Adobe portable document format) files. Details of the submission process will be posted on the InfoVis 2002 web site. Submissions to any of the InfoVis 2002 categories may be accompanied by supporting digital movies with a maximum length of 5 minutes. Accompanying movies will assist in the review process. Movies viewable with QuickTime Player or Windows Media Player should be submitted electronically. Publication: Accepted long and short papers will be published in an archival-quality proceedings directly from revised PDF files submitted by the authors. The proceedings will be printed with a high- resolution full color printing process. The accepted papers, along with supporting media, will also be included in the conference DVD. The IEEE Computer Society will distribute the proceedings. Extended abstracts of accepted interactive posters will be distributed in the black and white InfoVis 2002 Interactive Posters Compendium, using revised PDF files submitted by the authors. The Posters Compendium will be available only at the conference. Abstracts and accompanying material such as digital movies will also be made available from the conference web site. For detailed information concerning submission, please see the symposium web site, or email infovis(a)vis.computer.org.

I am writing a paper on visualizing resources and resource management. Please send me references of your work or works that you know of besides the published articles on telecom network visualization (Beck and Eick and similar works), energy networks (Overbye and Weber), and our own work on visualizing resource allocation (Pu and Melissagos). By resources, I consider the following three types: 1. Consumable - e.g., money, fuel, and energy. 2. Reusable/non-sharable -- like most equipment, aircraft, etc. They are unavailable only while being used by a particular consumer and are otherwise available. These resources are non-divisible and their capacity must be wholly allocated to a single consumer. 3. Reusable/synchronized-sharable --- these resources can be simultaneously allocated to multiple consumers but only in a temporally synchronized manner, e.g., communication bandwidths. 4. Reusable/independently-sharable --- e.g., parking lot. They can be simultaneouly allocated to multiple consumers and used without synchronization. - Pearl Pu Database Lab Computer Science Department Swiss Federal Institute of Technology LBD/DI EPFL 1015 Lausanne Switzerland pearl.pu(a)epfl.ch =======================================================> POST 2 From: WIT Enquiries [enquiries(a)wessex.ac.uk] Subject: Data Mining 2002 Conference - Call for Papers Please find the Call For Papers for Data Mining 2002, which is taking place from 25 - 27 September 2002 in Bologna, Italy.

VRRC, established within KAIST, is one of the highly prestegious government supported centers in Korea that specializes in the VR research. This year's forum will mark its first occurrence, and will also be first of its kind, specifically inviting only advanced graduate students for free form discussion on the future directions of virtual reality and related technologies. The forum hopes to provide an execellent opportunity for the young researchers of VR around the world to present, discuss, and cultivate new ideas. An extended abstract of 2000 words are solicited on all aspects of virtual reality, in particular on the future visions of VR and related technologies. The main contributor of the submission must be a graduate student, preferably who has finished one's research proposal toward one's PhD degree. The nature of the forum is designed to be small-scale, free form, higly interactive, and intensive, thus we will only accept around 10 submissions. All accepted participants will be provided with all or partial expenses for travel and lodging (roundtrip plane tickets to Korea, and room/meal). For detailed format of the forum, visit the forum web site at vrrc.kaist.ac.kr/yvr2001. The first two days will be consisted of presentations and discussion rounds and during the final day, a social event is planned as an opportunity for the participants to get to know one another more.

A new photo browser called PhotoMesa is now available. It supports image browsing in a family environment. It requires no organization of photos to get started, and supports a novel and easy-to-use zoomable interface. By showing many directories of photos at once, organized using a novel variation of the "treemap" algorithm, it supports rapid browsing. PhotoMesa requires only a set of images on disk, and does not require the user to add any metadata, or manipulate the images at all before browsing, thus making it easy to get started with existing images. While other image management systems have focused on annotating and searching, PhotoMesa concentrates on browsing. The interface lets you concentrate on the images, without having to manage scrollbars, menus, or pop-up windows. It also lets you group images by available metadata, such as directory location, image creation date, and words in the filename. We have built it intending it to be useful in informal situations, such as looking at photos together among family members. Others have found it useful as a way of finding what is on their hard disk. Available for free for non-commercial use from the University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Lab at: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/photomesa PhotoMesa is built using Jazz, our toolkit for Zoomable User Interfaces available as open source code at http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/jazz - Ben +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Prof. Ben Bederson Director, Human-Computer Interaction Lab | | bederson(a)cs.umd.edu Computer Science Department | | www.cs.umd.edu/~bederson 3171 A.V.

The latest generation of visual data mining tools and animated GUIs take advantage of human perceptual skills to produce striking results. This tutorial by two of the field's leading researchers will show examples of commercially successful uses of information visualization technology in today's web and software interfaces, plus recent research breakthroughs and hints of what's to come. Information visualization techniques empower users to perceive important patterns in a large amount of data, identify areas that need further scrutiny, and make sophisticated decisions. The Visual Information-Seeking Mantra is to "overview first, zoom and filter, then give details on demand." But looking at information is only a start. Users also need to manipulate and query the data, using real-time tools to zoom, filter, and relate the information - and undo if they make a mistake. You may be familiar with SmartMoney.com's "Map of the Market" that uses our Treemap visualization to graphically represent US stock market data and show overall trends and exceptions. You may also be familiar with Spotfire's success story in pharmaceutical drug discovery, genomic data exploration, and other domains. But information visualization tools can aid in any situations that's characterized by large amounts of multi-dimensional or rapidly changing data - online product catalogs, patient histories, manufacturing process data - anything that has outgrown yesterday's static, two-dimensional spreadsheet. Information visualization techniques are already being used in a wide variety of applications such as mapping the human genome, monitoring oil production, or even helping users select a type of coffee to match their tastes.

The full call for papers is available at http://www.infovis.org/infovis2001 This is a reminder for the two categories of submissions which are due on 26 June 2001: Late Breaking Hot Topics and Interactive Posters. (Interactive Posters deadline has been extended from the original April 2nd date.) -------------------- Late Breaking Hot Topics Submission deadline: Tue. 26th June 2001 Late Breaking Hot Topics (LBHT) have a much later submission deadline and are an opportunity to present exciting new findings, preliminary results, and work in progress. LBHT submissions should be at most 4 printed pages and present original unpublished work. Accepted LBHT papers will be published and distributed at the symposium. Late Breaking Hot Topics Co-Chairs John Dill, Simon Fraser University, Canada, dill(a)cs.sfu.ca Nahum Gershon, MITRE Corp, gershon(a)mitre.org -------------------- Interactive Posters New submission deadline: Tue. 26th June 2001 We have extended the submission deadline for the new interactive posters category. This category includes both traditional posters and demos, either live on a laptop or through video. In this new category, we encourage both submissions of original unpublished work and submissions showcasing systems of interest to the information visualization community that have been presented in other venues. We highly encourage demonstrations of interactive systems. All authors of accepted interactive posters are required to bring a poster to and attend the scheduled poster session. Accepted authors who wish to also show demos of their work are encouraged to also bring a laptop to that session. There will be a limited number of stations for showing videos during that session, depending on demand. Authors who wish to show a live demo but cannot provide their own machine should contact the posters chair in advance of the submission deadline to discuss the logistics. All authors who plan to show live demos or video should clearly indicate this fact in their submissions. All interactive poster authors must submit a 2 page extended abstract, and those who intend to show demos are highly encouraged to also submit an accompanying video. Clearly identify the type of your submission by including the prefix "Interactive Poster:" in the title of your extended abstract. Extended abstracts of accepted interactive posters will be printed in the LBHT proceedings, and accompanying videos will be included in the electronic and/or video proceedings.

This web-site covers eight categories of information visualization environments differentiated by data type: 1D, 2D, 3D, Multi-D, Temporal, Tree, Network, and Workspaces Within each category we have gathered what we feel are the most important literary citations, commercial products, research projects, and videos. This web-site is a class project for Dr. Ben Shneiderman's fall 1997 CMSC 828/838S graduate course on Information Visualization at the University of Maryland, College Park, Department of Computer Science. Dr. Shneiderman originally proposed a taxonomy of information visualization environments in his paper, \"The eyes have it: A task by data taxonomy of information visualizations.\" Following this taxonomy, Chris North assembled a set which he entitled, \"A Taxonomy of Information Visualization User-Interfaces.\" Building on that original reference set, and Dr. Shneiderman's recent book, Designing the User Interface (3rd Edition), our class has attempted to update, expand, and annotate Chris North's original page. We provide several approaches to viewing our site with the idea of illustrating a few of the approaches available for visualizing information presented on the web. Specifically, we offer a traditional Graphics & Text interface, a Frames interface, a Text Only interface, and a WebTOC interface. To avoid duplicate data that can become inconsistent between interfaces, we dynamically rebuild the entire web-site whenever changes are made to the input files for the site. A detailed report on this process is available at: http://otal.umd.edu/Olive/Report.html. Michael Reed (reed(a)cs.umd.edu) & Dan Heller (djheller(a)wam.umd.edu) Editors.

Increasing amounts of data and information and the availability of fast digital network access are creating a rapidly growing demand for accessing, querying and retrieving information and data. However, information technology will not transform business, science, medicine, engineering, and education if users cannot use it easily and efficiently. Technology must come to the users, taking their needs into account. If we do not involve the users, we will develop useless systems. InfoVis '99 will focus on all aspects of information visualization and human-centered information interfaces, and on ways in which advances in interactive computer graphics hardware, mass storage, and data visualization can be used to visualize information. Submissions are solicited in all areas of information visualization and human-centered information interfaces, including, but not limited to, such topics as: * Interactive information visualization * Multi-dimensional information visualization * Information presentation * Visualization of complex information * Information visualization for heterogeneous audiences * Visualizing the internet and WWW * Browsing and other Navigation methods * Visualization Algorithms * Visualization OF Algorithms * Visualization of textual information * Visualization and Knowledge Discovery * Graph / Network Visualizations * Geographic Visualizations Submissions: The deadline for submission is March 31, 1999. Papers should be at most 8,000 words including an abstract, affiliation, and keywords, and should present previously unpublished original results. Please submit 8 copies of your paper. Video submissions (NTSC VHS) with papers are welcome (4 copies), but are not required. Videos will assist reviewers' assessment of the papers.

He notes that the creation of visual language emerges from people around the world. This book has several parts. - an introduction to the basic concept of visual language; - a concise history of over 70 major innovations that form the history of the language; - a survey of the research on the emerging syntax and semantics of the language; - a practical guide to the applications of visual language. I find the book to be both insightful and practical. Another unique feature: it is accompanied by drawings made by the author.

Please join us in our celebration of 10 years of leading edge research in scientific visualization by returning to the city where we started, San Francisco, California. In the past decade the field of scientific visualization and the IEEE visualization conference have grown in both size and sophistication. Reflecting this growth, our keynote talk will describe a series of workshops by the leaders in the scientific visualization field, resulting in \"Data and Visualization Corridors\". This talk will lay out some of the greatest problems facing our field today and strategies for their solution. Our capstone speaker, Rick Stevens, looks into the future with a presentation of \"ActiveSpaces: The Access Grid, ActiveMural and Advanced Visualization Systems\". Between these two talks you will find reports on the state of the art in data visualization, including new research, case studies and vociferous and opinionated panels. You will also be able to see and try the new technologies close up in the demonstration area and the Creative Applications Lab (CAL). Preceding the main conference on Wednesday through Friday are the Sunday through Tuesday sessions. In these sessions you will find several tutorials by leaders in the field, providing you with an opportunity for learning the background of their research, as well as studying their new work in depth. You will also find two symposia, the symposium on information visualization, where techniques for the visualization of abstract information will be studied, and the symposium on parallel visualization and graphics, where you will see new work in the application of parallel computer systems to our field. Our 10th conference celebration will be loudest at the Wednesday night banquet, where we will have special entertainment as well as recognition of those who started the visualization conference and nurtured it to its current success. Please join us in San Francisco, California October 24 through 29, to make this celebration memorable at the 10th visualization conference!

IMMEDIATE REPSONSE !*** NSF is preparing for the review of proposals submitted to the Information Technology Research (ITR) initiative for Fiscal Year 2000. The success of this program depends critically on our ability to enlist the help of expert reviewers such as you to help us identify the outstanding proposals. We are building a pool of reviewers qualified in IT-related research areas. ITR is a new $90M NSF initiative that aims to promote fundamental research in information technology, encouraging in particular research spanning information technology and scientific applications, and in the area of social, ethical and workforce issues. Specific areas include: 1) software; 2) information technology education and workforce; 3) human-computer interface; 4) information management; 5) advanced computational science; 6) scalable information infrastructure; 7) social and economic implications of information technology; and 8) revolutionary computing. The ITR Program Solicitation can be found on the NSF Web Page at http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/1999/nsf99167/nsf99167.htm The Fiscal Year 2000 competition requires the submission of preproposals by January 5, 2000 for all PIs who plan to submit full proposals requesting more than $500K. The preproposals will be panel-reviewed during the week of February 7, 2000 at three locations: 1) at NSF in Arlington, VA; 2) at a location in Chicago, IL near O'Hare Airport; and 3) at a location to be determined in the San Francisco area. Based on the results of the preproposal screening, approximately 100 full proposals will be encouraged for submission by April 17, 2000. Full proposals will be panel reviewed at NSF on May 22, 2000. A separate competition is being organized for those proposals requesting less than $500K for the full duration of the award. For this category of proposal, no preproposal is required. Proposals requesting less than $500K are due at NSF on February 14, 2000. They will be reviewed at NSF during the weeks of March 20 and March 27, 2000. We would like to consider you as a potential panelist for this activity. If you are involved in a proposal submitted to any area of ITR, as PI, co-PI or otherwise as a participant, you are ineligible to serve as a panelist. However, persons who are submitting proposals for more than $500K can serve as panelists to review proposals less than $500K and vice versa. We welcome panelists from foreign countries, national laboratories, and industry. *IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN PARTICIPATING PLEASE ACT TODAY!* Indicate your availability, and provide us with your information by completing the ITR Panelist Entry Form at the following URL: http://www.itr.nsf.gov/panelist. We urge you to fill out the form immediately, since we will start to select panelists for the February 7 panel meetings within the next few days. NSF will pay all travel costs in addition to $130 per travel day and $260 per panel day. If you have other questions related to serving as a panelist, please refer to the FAQ section of the ITR Home page at http://www.itr.nsf.gov/it2-faq.html. Finally, we would also appreciate it if you could forward this request to other i well-qualified IT scientists who you think may be interested. Since ITR is a large-scale competition, and we have a number of people involved in seeking panelists, we apologize if more than one person contacts you in this regard. We look forward to your reply, Sincerely, The ITR Working Group E-mail: itr(a)nsf.gov =======================================================> POST 2 From: \"Ben Shneiderman\" <ben(a)cs.umd.edu> Subject: Ben Shneiderman's Infovis99 keynote slides Ben Shneiderman's keynote address to the IEEE Information Visualization 99 conference is available as a set of slides: Crossing the Information Visualization Chasm http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/pubs/presentations/ Best wishes Ben Shneiderman email: ben(a)cs.umd.edu Dept. of Computer Science (301) 405-2680 University of Maryland (301) 405-6707 FAX College Park, MD 20742 http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil =======================================================> POST 3 Subject: CFP - IEEE InfoVis 2000 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION IEEE Visualization 2000 October 8 - October 13, 2000 Doubletree Hotel Salt Lake City, Utah Details at www.infovis.org/infovis2000/ =======================================================> POST 4 From: Guido Menkhaus <menkhaus(a)fmi.uni-konstanz.de> Subject: CFP - Workshop WebVis 2000 at Dexa 2000 Our Workshop in Florence last year had been a great success and the organizer of Dexa 2000 have asked us to held this workshop again.

A distinct field centered around helping people explore or explain data by designing software that exploits the properties of the human visual system has emerged over the past several years. New methodologies and techniques are critical for helping people keep pace with the torrents of data. One of the few quantities increasing faster than the speed of computer hardware is the amount of data to be processed. The theme for the January/February 2002 issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and its Applications is information visualization. The design challenge of finding a spatial mapping for an abstract dataset that is cognitively useful for a specific task is considerable. We solicit papers that describe innovative results in this area. Potential topics for articles include: visualization of networks, both geographic and topological visualization of the Web visualization of large text document collections visualization techniques for multi-dimensional data layout, navigation and browsing of large information spaces interaction design for infovis systems empirical user studies of infovis systems or techniques infovis systems or techniques that scale to large datasets application case studies and infovis success stories Papers should be less than ten magazine pages, where a page is 900 words or five images. Cite only the ten most critical references, and consider providing background in sidebars for non-expert readers. Color images may be interspersed through the body of the paper.

Jazz is a general-purpose toolkit for creating Zoomable User Interface (ZUI) applications using 2D graphics. Zoomable User Interfaces display graphical information on a virtual canvas that is very broad and has very high resolution. A portion of this huge canvas is seen on the display through a virtual \"camera\" that can pan and zoom over the surface. Jazz is a generic package for supporting structured graphics and information visualization, and is also appropriate for non-zooming applications. Jazz is built entirely in Java and runs on all platforms that support Java 2. Jazz uses the Java2D renderer, and is organized to support efficient animation, rapid screen updates, and high quality stills. Jazz borrows many of the structural elements common to 3D scenegraph systems, such as Sun's Java3D and SGI's OpenInventor. By using a basic hierarchical scenegraph model with cameras, Jazz is able to directly support a variety of common as well as forward-looking interface mechanisms. This includes hierarchical groups of objects with affine transforms (translation, scale, rotation and shear), layers, zooming, internal cameras (portals), lenses, semantic zooming, and multiple representations. Jazz is completely Open Source and version 1.1 is now available at http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/jazz - Ben +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Prof. Ben Bederson Director, Human-Computer Interaction Lab | | bederson(a)cs.umd.edu Computer Science Department | | www.cs.umd.edu/~bederson 3171 A.V.

A new photo browser called PhotoMesa is now available. It supports image browsing in a family environment. It requires no organization of photos to get started, and supports a novel and easy-to-use zoomable interface. By showing many directories of photos at once, organized using a novel variation of the \"treemap\" algorithm, it supports rapid browsing. PhotoMesa requires only a set of images on disk, and does not require the user to add any metadata, or manipulate the images at all before browsing, thus making it easy to get started with existing images. While other image management systems have focused on annotating and searching, PhotoMesa concentrates on browsing. The interface lets you concentrate on the images, without having to manage scrollbars, menus, or pop-up windows. It also lets you group images by available metadata, such as directory location, image creation date, and words in the filename. We have built it intending it to be useful in informal situations, such as looking at photos together among family members. Others have found it useful as a way of finding what is on their hard disk. Available for free for non-commercial use from the University of Maryland Human-Computer Interaction Lab at: http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/photomesa PhotoMesa is built using Jazz, our toolkit for Zoomable User Interfaces available as open source code at http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/jazz - Ben +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Prof. Ben Bederson Director, Human-Computer Interaction Lab | | bederson(a)cs.umd.edu Computer Science Department | | www.cs.umd.edu/~bederson 3171 A.V.

The latest generation of visual data mining tools and animated GUIs take advantage of human perceptual skills to produce striking results. This tutorial by two of the field's leading researchers will show examples of commercially successful uses of information visualization technology in today's web and software interfaces, plus recent research breakthroughs and hints of what's to come. Information visualization techniques empower users to perceive important patterns in a large amount of data, identify areas that need further scrutiny, and make sophisticated decisions. The Visual Information-Seeking Mantra is to \"overview first, zoom and filter, then give details on demand.\" But looking at information is only a start. Users also need to manipulate and query the data, using real-time tools to zoom, filter, and relate the information - and undo if they make a mistake. You may be familiar with SmartMoney.com's \"Map of the Market\" that uses our Treemap visualization to graphically represent US stock market data and show overall trends and exceptions. You may also be familiar with Spotfire's success story in pharmaceutical drug discovery, genomic data exploration, and other domains. But information visualization tools can aid in any situations that's characterized by large amounts of multi-dimensional or rapidly changing data - online product catalogs, patient histories, manufacturing process data - anything that has outgrown yesterday's static, two-dimensional spreadsheet. Information visualization techniques are already being used in a wide variety of applications such as mapping the human genome, monitoring oil production, or even helping users select a type of coffee to match their tastes. This full-day seminar will follow a lecture format enhanced by a large number of videos and live demonstrations, and with ample time for question asking and discussion. You Should Attend If... ... you are a web or software interface designer, information specialist, or database programmer responsible for conveying complex information to users. If you're a usability specialist, you may discover elegant solutions to interface problems you've seen. =======================================================> POST 4 From: banisse(a)sbu.ac.uk Subject: Information Visualisation LONDON - CFP 5th International Conference on Information Visualisation * LONDON * ENGLAND * 25 - 26 - 27 July 2001 Call for Participation http://www.graphicslink.demon.co.uk/IV2001/ Conference theme is based on Information Visualisation Theory, Practice and related disciplines is organised through 38 sessions that covers well over 120 presentations.

I am writing a paper on visualizing resources and resource management. Please send me references of your work or works that you know of besides the published articles on telecom network visualization (Beck and Eick and similar works), energy networks (Overbye and Weber), and our own work on visualizing resource allocation (Pu and Melissagos). By resources, I consider the following three types: 1. Consumable - e.g., money, fuel, and energy. 2. Reusable/non-sharable -- like most equipment, aircraft, etc. They are unavailable only while being used by a particular consumer and are otherwise available. These resources are non-divisible and their capacity must be wholly allocated to a single consumer. 3. Reusable/synchronized-sharable --- these resources can be simultaneously allocated to multiple consumers but only in a temporally synchronized manner, e.g., communication bandwidths. 4. Reusable/independently-sharable --- e.g., parking lot.

VRRC, established within KAIST, is one of the highly prestegious government supported centers in Korea that specializes in the VR research. This year's forum will mark its first occurrence, and will also be first of its kind, specifically inviting only advanced graduate students for free form discussion on the future directions of virtual reality and related technologies. The forum hopes to provide an execellent opportunity for the young researchers of VR around the world to present, discuss, and cultivate new ideas. An extended abstract of 2000 words are solicited on all aspects of virtual reality, in particular on the future visions of VR and related technologies. The main contributor of the submission must be a graduate student, preferably who has finished one's research proposal toward one's PhD degree. The nature of the forum is designed to be small-scale, free form, higly interactive, and intensive, thus we will only accept around 10 submissions. All accepted participants will be provided with all or partial expenses for travel and lodging (roundtrip plane tickets to Korea, and room/meal). For detailed format of the forum, visit the forum web site at vrrc.kaist.ac.kr/yvr2001. The first two days will be consisted of presentations and discussion rounds and during the final day, a social event is planned as an opportunity for the participants to get to know one another more. Submission deadline for the extended abstracts is October 1, 2001 with notification of acceptance by November 1, 2001. Please submit abstracts (or inquiries) to: Gerry J.

Original papers are solicited in all areas of information visualization. In addition, we are encouraging submissions on bioinformatics, following the bio-visualization theme of our parent conference, Vis2002. In particular, the symposium is interested in all aspects of abstract visualization of digital biology information. Topics include: * Bioinformatics visualization * Browsing and navigation methods * Data structures and models underlying visualization * Empirical studies of information visualization techniques * Graph / network visualizations * Information presentation as storytelling * Interactive techniques for information visualization * Information visualization for heterogeneous audiences * Multi-dimensional information visualization * Visual data mining * Visualization and knowledge discovery * Visualization for mobile computing * Visualization in CSCW * Visualization applications in areas such as o Algorithms o Commerce and financial systems o Complex information o Internet and WWW o Mobile computing o Search results o Textual information InfoVis 2002 Full Papers (due March 29, 2002) Full papers should be at most 8 printed pages. Full papers present previously unpublished, original results. Papers submitted as full papers may, at the discretion of the program co-chairs, be invited for publication and presentation as short papers. InfoVis 2002 Short Papers (due March 29, 2002) Short papers should be at most 4 printed pages. The short paper category is intended for two submission types: a) case studies describing how information visualization has contributed to working applications in real-life environments and b) technical notes that, though novel and of interest to the community, do not warrant a full paper submission. Clearly identify the type of your submission by including the prefix \"Case Study:\" or \"Technical Note:\" in the title of your short paper submission. InfoVis 2002 Interactive Posters (due July 1, 2002) The interactive poster category includes both traditional posters and demonstrations of interactive systems, either live on a laptop or through video. We encourage both submissions of original unpublished work and submissions showcasing systems of interest to the information visualization community that have been presented in other venues. All authors of accepted interactive posters are required to bring an explanatory hardcopy poster for display during the scheduled evening poster session, and be available for discussion at that time. Accepted authors who wish to also show demos of their work are encouraged to also bring a laptop to the poster session. Authors are required to present a very brief summary of their interactive poster at a short preview session earlier in the day. There will be a limited number of stations for showing videos during that session. Authors who wish to show a live demo but cannot provide their own machine should contact the posters chairs in advance of the submission deadline to discuss the logistics. All authors who plan to show live demos or video should clearly indicate this fact in their submissions. Interactive poster authors must submit a 2 page extended abstract, and those who intend to show demos are highly encouraged to also submit an accompanying video. Clearly identify the type of your submission by including the prefix \"Interactive Poster:\" in the title of your extended abstract. Submissions: Please prepare your submission according to the IEEE CS Press Author Guidelines at <http://www.computer.org/cspress/instruct.htm>, with the understanding that the papers proceedings will be printed in full color. Submissions longer than the page limits will not be considered. Papers should be submitted electronically as PDF (Adobe portable document format) files. Details of the submission process will be posted on the InfoVis 2002 web site. Submissions to any of the InfoVis 2002 categories may be accompanied by supporting digital movies with a maximum length of 5 minutes. Accompanying movies will assist in the review process. Movies viewable with QuickTime Player or Windows Media Player should be submitted electronically. Publication: Accepted long and short papers will be published in an archival-quality proceedings directly from revised PDF files submitted by the authors. The proceedings will be printed with a high- resolution full color printing process. The accepted papers, along with supporting media, will also be included in the conference DVD. The IEEE Computer Society will distribute the proceedings. Extended abstracts of accepted interactive posters will be distributed in the black and white InfoVis 2002 Interactive Posters Compendium, using revised PDF files submitted by the authors. The Posters Compendium will be available only at the conference. Abstracts and accompanying material such as digital movies will also be made available from the conference web site.

It is organised by the Visual Computing Group, part of the Information Technology CNR Institute, in association with Eurographics, in the context of the Eurographics Working Group on Rendering Activities. The workshop is well established as a major international forum for the exchange of ideas and experiences in the area of rendering algorithms and techniques. Topics: Submissions are invited in (but not limited to) the following areas: - Local illumination and reflection models and methods (including BRDF measurement) - Global illumination methods (Monte Carlo, finite element techniques) - Sampling, filtering, and anti-aliasing - Visibility algorithms - Human perception and error measures - Texture models, analysis, and synthesis - Non-polygonal rendering (Point-based, image-based) - Systems and software architectures for rendering - New rendering hardware and new uses of existing hardware - Experimental or practice-and-experience comparative studies of existing methods - Rendering solutions for virtual/augmented reality and interactive systems - Inverse rendering and computer vision related algorithms - Real-time rendering - Non-photorealistic rendering Research and development driven by real-world applications are encouraged. A short paper category (6 page limit) is available in addition to full papers (12 page limits). The category of submitted papers will be decided based on the reviewing results, but authors may submit papers specifically to the short paper category. As has been the tradition in previous workshops, the presentation format will allow for ample discussion time. The number of participants will be limited to 100. Internationally known speakers will give invited lectures. In addition to both short and full papers, this year authors may also submit posters containing preliminary results or speculative ideas. These posters will be peer-reviewed and will be appear at the workshop, but will not be printed in the final ACM Press workshop proceedings. Authors of accepted papers may also enter a competition to produce a cover image for the preliminary proceedings distributed at the workshop. Details of the competition may be found on the workshop web site. Important Dates in the Year 2002 are: Wednesday, March 27 Electronic abstract submission deadline Friday, March 29 Electronic paper/poster submission deadline Monday, April 1 Submission deadline for videos Monday, May 13 Author notification Saturday, June 1 Camera-ready copy deadline June 26 - 28 Workshop Submission Procedure: NOTE: ALL SUBMISSIONS THIS YEAR ARE ELECTRONIC. Authors are requested to submit (via email) an abstract for their paper or poster by Wednesday March 27th 2002 to the following address: egwr02(a)cs.man.ac.uk Authors will then receive further information by email regarding the electronic submission of their papers and posters (in PDF or Postscript format) to the workshop ftp site. Authors experiencing problems with electronic submission of contributions should contact the program co-chairs directly. The abstract submission email should contain the names and institutions of all authors, contact information of one contact author (name, e-mail, postal address, phone and fax numbers), and the (not necessarily final) title and abstract of the submission. Courier-service mail will be used only for those submissions that the co-chairs find unusable, and for videos accompanying papers. In the latter case, one paper copy of the paper should be sent along with five copies of the accompanying videotape or CD-ROM to one of the two program co-chairs. In the case of videotapes an effort should be made to include the segment in both PAL and NTSC on the same VHS tape, to ensure that it can be seen by all reviewers. An authors toolkit including LaTeX and MS Word style files is available from the conference Web page. Submissions missing the deadline will be considered with reduced priority, to the extent practical within the short review cycle.
