by Wanling Cai 08 Jan '24

08 Jan '24

* We apologize if you receive multiple copies of this CfP * * Online version: https://iui.acm.org/2024/call_for_doctoral_consortium.html ** ACM IUI 2024 - Call for Doctoral Consortium Submissions** 29th International ACM Conference on Intelligent User Interfaces (ACM IUI 2024) Greenville, South Carolina, USA, March 18-21, 2024 https://iui.acm.org/2024/ ** Overview ** The IUI 2024 Doctoral Consortium (DC) provides students an opportunity to present and receive feedback about their research in an interdisciplinary workshop, under the guidance of a panel of mentors selected from senior researchers in the field. We invite students who feel they would benefit from this kind of feedback—the ideal participant is a doctoral student about two years from finishing their Ph.D. We will also consider advanced Master's students and junior Ph.D. students provided their research plan is sufficiently developed to benefit from the discussion at the DC. Submissions will be selected by the DC chairs and potentially other reviewers. The strongest candidates will be those who have a clear topic and research approach and who have made some progress, but are not too far along in their research so that they can still reshape their research topic or approach. The final version of accepted Doctoral Consortium submissions will be included in the main conference proceedings published in the ACM Digital Library. The Doctoral Consortium workshop will take place as a separate session in parallel to workshops and tutorials, and DC participants will have the opportunity to present their research in the poster session during the main program. Complimentary/reduced conference registration will be available for students. Doctoral Consortium participants will also be given high priority when applying for the student travel awards, under the precondition that they agree to assist as student volunteers in the organization of the event. ** Objectives ** The objectives of the Doctoral Consortium are to: * Serve as a supportive setting to provide/receive feedback on students' current doctoral research as well as guidance on future research directions; * Offer each student comments and fresh perspectives on their work from researchers and students outside of their own institution; * Promote the development of a supportive community of scholars and a spirit of collaborative research; * Contribute to the conference goals through interaction with other researchers and conference events. ** Submission Instructions ** If you are unsure about eligibility or submission requirements, please do not hesitate to email us at dc2024(a)iui.acm.org<mailto:dc2024@iui.acm.org>!

[PhD Position Opening] Prae-doc position on Visual Analytics and Information Diffusion @ TU Vienna – 30/40 hrs (m/f/d)
by Arleo, Alessio 08 Jan '24

08 Jan '24

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ** REMINDER: FUNDED PHD POSITION AT TU VIENNA ** --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Funded PhD position within the ViSual ANalytics for Event-based Diffusion on Networks (SANE) project @ TU Wien f/m/d (30-40h) We are hiring a talented PhD candidate in an international project on the visual analytics of complex diffusion processes over temporal networks. You will work in the context of SANE, a project held by TU Vienna (Austria), the University of Cologne (Germany) and the University of Newcastle (United Kingdom). This project arrangement gives you unique career opportunities, including student exchanges abroad, regular meetings with researchers from the other institutions participating to the project. We are looking for a PhD candidate to work from the TU Wien, at the Institute of Visual Computing and Human-Centered Technology, in the Research Unit of Visual Analytics. We offer a position as project assistant (prae-doc) limited to 3 years for 30 hours/week (that can beex-tended to 40). Gross annual (monthly) salary of Euro 43,650 (2,464.80) according to FWF regulations. In this position, you will begin your doctoral journey studying problems related to the topic of event-based (or “temporal”) network visualization. In Event-based networks, the time coordinates where the nodes and the edges are “active” are an explicit element of the representation, differently from traditional timeslicing where a time structure is imposed over the input data. You will apply these concepts to the problem of Information Diffusion. Information Diffusion studies how “information” flows and spreads through an underlying network, and has been used to model, simulate, and predict natural and human-made phenomena in countless different domains (e.g., pathogen spread, malware outbreak in computer networks, viral marketing, etc.). However, little research has been done on this problem within the context of visualization. Wanna know more?

05 Jan '24

*Call for Papers – Map-based Interfaces and Interactions (MAPII 2024) * *AVI 2024 Workshop  * *4 June 2024 – Arenzano, Italy* *More info: http://avcd.aalto.fi/mapii2024/* *ABOUT THE WORKSHOP* ----------------------- Maps have been used for centuries as a tool for exploring the real and the imagined, the physical and the metaphysical worlds. Today, in the world of technology, maps also play an important role as an underlying representation tool, forming the basis for a wide range of digital devices, applications, and services. Despite this, there are hardly any venues for sharing of research and design expertise, learnings, practices, and experiences of the use of maps and map-like visualizations in the context of visual interfaces and interactions. This workshop aims to fill this gap by providing a much-needed interdisciplinary forum focusing on map-based interface and interactions. This workshop is part of the 17th International Conference on Advanced Visual Interfaces, and is supported by the IFIP TC 13 Working Group on Human-Centred Technology for Sustainability. *CALL FOR PARTICIPATION* ----------------------- The main objective of this workshop is to create an interdisciplinary forum for sharing of research, design, and practical expertise, practices, and experiences that are currently dispersed across different disciplines. Therefore, the workshop aims to bring together participants from all the related disciplines, including visualization, visual design, interaction design, user interface design, and cartography, and by doing so support the participants’ research and design work in creating novel future map-based interfaces and interactions across a wide range of application areas. Prospective workshop participants are invited to submit a short paper describing their interests and work related to the topics of this workshop. Some of the main topics to be covered by this workshop will include, but are not limited to, the following: - research and design foundations of map-based interfaces and interactions. - theories, principles, and practices guiding the design of map-based interfaces and interactions. - applications of map-based interfaces and interactions, in areas such environment, sustainability, epidemiology, healthcare, education, games and entertainment. - user evaluations of map-based interfaces and interactions. *WORKSHOP STRUCTURE* ----------------------- This one-day workshop will be informal and interactive, combining short presentations of the accepted workshop position papers with group discussions, aimed at assisting the authors and other participants with developing their research and design ideas. The workshop will include a hands-on group activity, as part of which the participants work in small groups to perform map-based design tasks and create visual sketches for an interactive map-based application tool. We hope to run the workshop in person at the conference. Provisions will, however, be made to run the workshop in remote or hybrid mode if necessary. *SUBMISSIONS* ----------------------- Workshop paper submissions should be of maximum 6 pages in PDF format, and prepared according to the ACM Primary Article Template (https://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template) Submissions should be made through Easychair (https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=mapii2024) The workshop programme committee will review the submitted position papers, and select 10-15 papers for presentation at the workshop based on their quality and relevance to the workshop topics. Accepted position papers will be shared with the workshop participants. In addition, the workshop will include a discussion session on future publications in, for instance, a special issue of an international journal and/or a co-authored report for dissemination of the workshop findings. *IMPORTANT DATES* ----------------------- Submission deadline: 04 March 2024 Notification: 08 April 2024 Camera-ready: 29 April 2024 Workshop date: 04 June 2024 *WORKSHOP ORGANIZERS* ----------------------- Masood Masoodian, Aalto University (Finland) Saturnino Luz, University of Edinburgh (UK) *PROGRAMME COMMITTEE* ----------------------- Saturnino Luz, University of Edinburgh (UK) Masood Masoodian, Aalto University (Finland) Shane Sheehan, University of Edinburgh (UK) Artemis Skarlatidou, University College London (UK) Thomas Rist, Augsburg University of Applied Sciences (Germany) -- Prof. Masood Masoodian Visual Communication Design Aalto University avcd.aalto.fi
