Open PostDoc Position in Information Visualization / Visual Analytics at Linköping University (LiU), Sweden
by Andreas Kerren 10 May '22

10 May '22

*** Apologies for cross-posting *** Come and join us! We are seeking for an engaged and bright PostDoc to work with us in the areas of Information Visualization and Visual Analytics. This position (ref. LiU-2022-01774) is part of a joint collaboration between the two largest research programs in Sweden, the Wallenberg AI, Autonomous Systems and Software Program (WASP) and the SciLifeLab and Wallenberg National Program for Data-Driven Life Science (DDLS), with the ultimate goal of solving ground-breaking research questions across disciplines. The successful candidate will become member of an interdisciplinary research project entitled “Visual Analytics for Enhancing Quality and Trust in Genome-wide Expression Clustering and Annotation”, where the Information Visualization group at Linköping University (LiU) and the Systems Biology group at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) work closely together. There is a need for a functional genome-wide annotation of the protein-coding genes to get a deeper understanding of mammalian biology. The new data-driven strategy to be developed in the project is based on interpretable unsupervised learning (e.g., dimensionality reduction and clustering) of whole-body co-expression patterns, supported by state-of-the-art visual analytics. Interactive guiding of the clustering process will be used to explore the gene expression landscape in humans and other mammalian species, and to create a whole-body map of all protein-coding genes in all major cell types, tissues and organs. This will allow for the improvement of the quality of the classification of all protein-coding genes according to their whole-body co-expression patterns, resulting in every gene being annotated to a unique expression cluster together with other genes with a similar body-wide pattern. The focus of this PostDoc position at LiU will be on research and development of an interactive and interpretable (human-in-the-loop) clustering strategy to reach these goals. The successful candidate will develop visual analytics approaches that provide fine-grained quality analysis of the clustering processes and better interpretation/annotation of clusters. Please visit the official vacancy website of Linköping University for a more detailed description of the duties, formal requirements, and on how to apply for this position: https://liu.se/en/work-at-liu/vacancies?rmpage=job&rmjob=18950&rmlang=UK The application deadline is May 20, 2022. The advertised position will be affiliated to the iVis research group led by Professor Andreas Kerren (see http://bit.ly/ivis-liu) Linköping University, Norrköping Campus, which is part of the division for Media and Information Technology. The research group mainly focuses on the explorative analysis and visualization of typically large and complex information spaces, for example in environmental research, transportation systems, social sciences, or artificial intelligence. Our vision is to attack the big data challenge by a combination of human-centered data analysis and interactive visualization for deriving meaning from the data and final decision making. Our research is highly relevant for academia and industry as both make increasing use of data-intensive technologies. We are looking forward to receiving your application! Please also consider to share this message with any great candidates.

VIS4DH CfP: VIS4DH 2022 – Multimodality
by Abdul Rahman, Alfie 09 May '22

09 May '22

VIS4DH CfP: VIS4DH 2022 – Multimodality The workshop will take place as part of the IEEE VIS conference (16–21 October 2022) in Oklahoma City, OK, USA in the form of a hybrid format, including virtual as well as in-person parts. In this year’s workshop we invite you to explore and discuss aspects of multimodality: Human expression has myriad forms. Painting, reading & writing, music, crafts, dance, fashion, cooking, and other artistic or cultural efforts are more than just visual experiences—they incorporate hearing, touch, and even taste. This multimodality raises both reflective and creative questions about the role of visualization. What do we lose when we reduce these rich multisensory experiences, artifacts, or collections down to just the visual and textual content? How can we compensate for or offset these losses? How can we augment visualizations with other experiential modes, and can these augmentations improve the (embodied) experience accessibility, viscerality, or impact of our data? In other words, what does it mean to think beyond the visual when it comes to visualization in the humanities? This year, you can contribute to VIS4DH 2022 in the following ways - you can submit to the Paper track<https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/cfp/#papers> (https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/cfp/#papers) the Provocations track<https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/cfp/#provocations> (https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/cfp/#provocations) or Lab talks<https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/cfp/#labs> (https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/cfp/#labs) * Paper Track: We invite papers at the intersection of visualization and (digital) humanities that provide both theoretical and applied perspectives around these and other questions. Submissions will take the form of short papers. Papers should not exceed 5 pages excluding references. Submissions are meant to describe and critically discuss works at the intersection of visualization and humanities research, including applied case studies, empirical results and/or theoretical perspectives. * Provocation Track: Submissions to the VIS4DH Provocations track will take the form of a paragraph articulating a strongly-held viewpoint that addresses a particular perspective on this year’s workshop topic, Multimodality. We especially seek submissions that likely will promote back-and-forth debate within the interdisciplinary VIS4DH community. * Lab Talks: Since 2020, the VIS4DH workshop has included Lab Talks, a format where research groups working at the intersection of visualization and the digital humanities present their work or labs more generally in brief lightning talks. Additionally, groups can be listed in our VIS×DH overview: https://vis4dh.dbvis.de/labtalks Our call for submissions is open to all fields of the (digital) humanities, social sciences and to all areas of visualization research and practice. The workshop is intended to put different ways of seeing, knowing, articulating, and transforming arguments into dialogue in order to foster and to intensify collaborations between humanities and visualization researchers. We are particularly interested in papers and provocations that bring different disciplines together. Submission Deadlines Paper Track: 8 July 2022, 5PM PST Provocation Track: 29 August 2022, 5PM PST Lab Talks: 29 August 2022, 5PM PST We hope to see you at the conference!

Call for Papers: VISSOFT 2022 - 10th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization
by Samuel Beck 29 Apr '22

29 Apr '22

VISSOFT 2022 (10th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization) Call for Papers ======================================= VISSOFT 2022: 2-3 October 2022, Limassol, Cyprus. https://vissoft.info/2022/ ======================================= Software visualization is a broad research area whose general goal is to enhance and promote the theory, realization, and evaluation of approaches to visually encode and analyze software systems, including software development practices, evolution, structure, and software runtime behavior. Software visualization is inherently interdisciplinary, drawing on theories and techniques from areas such as information visualization, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and data science, and applying these in the software engineering domain. The VISSOFT conference is principally a venue for publishing and discussing research related to software visualization. Consequently, VISSOFT brings together a community of researchers from software engineering, information visualization, human-computer interaction, computer graphics, and data science to discuss theoretical foundations, algorithms, techniques, tools, and applications related to software visualization. VISSOFT, co-located with ICSME, encourages a variety of submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems using visualization. This includes technical papers, evaluations, and papers that present novel ideas and tools. Topics of interest ======================================= * Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for the analysis of software engineering data. This includes source code, dependencies, repositories, developer social networks like StackOverflow and GitHub, mobile app reviews, documentation, runtime logs, and DevOps data * Visualization to support software development activities, including design, requirements engineering, software maintenance, program comprehension, software performance, software testing, and debugging * Interaction techniques and algorithms for software visualization * Visualization-based techniques in software engineering education * Integration of software visualization tools with development environments * Empirical evaluation of software visualizations, including eye-tracking * Industrial experience with using software visualization * Applications of new technologies to enhance software visualization, including virtual reality, augmented reality, gamification, and machine learning * Analytical approaches to understanding software-related aspects based on data science concepts We solicit papers that present original, unpublished research results. Papers will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. In addition to full technical papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas and Emerging Results and Tool Demo (NIER/TD) track whose purpose is to present an idea still under development or to demonstrate the functionality of a newly developed tool. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Submission Types ======================================= ==== Technical Track A technical paper contribution must describe an in-depth and mature research result relevant to software visualization. The content of a technical paper can be a maximum of 10 pages long (including all figures, tables, and appendices). However, the 10-page limit does not include the bibliography, which is limited by two additional pages. The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is highly encouraged to show interaction possibilities. Authors who wish to submit a video should add a URL to the video at the end of the abstract (e.g., Video URL: https://youtu.be/XXX) Authors of technical papers that do not receive an acceptance recommendation from reviewers can, eventually, be invited to adapt the paper and make it acceptable for the NIER/TD track. Paper Awards: VISSOFT 2022 will award the best technical papers. Artifact Evaluation: Paper authors are encouraged to submit research artifacts (e.g., tools, data repositories, frameworks, videos) for evaluation. For more details, please refer to the Artifact Track. == Important Dates (23:59:59 AoE) Paper Abstract: June 20, 2022 Paper Submission: June 27, 2022 Notification: July 25, 2022 Camera-Ready: August 1, 2022 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2022 ==== NIER/TD Track The NIER/TD Track of VISSOFT accepts two types of submissions: NIER (New Ideas and Emerging Results) and Tool Demonstrations (TD). Both NIER and TD contributions have a page limit of 5 (including bibliography). NIER contributions describe work-in-progress and preliminary, exciting results. Authors are encouraged to include open questions and even provocative hypotheses to get early feedback on their research ideas. A sound evaluation is not required for NIER contributions. One of the goals of the NIER Track is to foster collaboration among different research groups. Tool Demonstrations (TD) describe the design or actual utilization of software visualization tools, with a focus on the architecture of the tool or its use to gain new insights. During the conference, we will organize an informal tool demonstration session where authors of TD papers are invited to demonstrate their tools. The submission may also contain a link to a screencast (e.g., YouTube or Vimeo) to show the interaction possibilities offered by the tool. == Important Dates (23:59:59 AoE) Paper Abstract: June 20, 2022 Paper Submission: June 27, 2022 Notification: July 25, 2022 Camera-Ready: August 1, 2022 Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2022 ==== Artifact Evaluation Track Also this year, ICSME, VISSOFT, and SCAM have joined forces and present a single Artifact Evaluation Track for all three venues. We invite authors of papers of all lengths accepted to VISSOFT 2022 to submit artifacts associated with those papers for evaluation. Papers with artifacts that meet the review criteria will be awarded badges, noting their contributions to open science in SE. For more information please read the Call for Papers of the Joint Artifact Evaluation Track available at https://cyprusconferences.org/icsme2022/call-for-joint-artifact-evaluation-… ==== Journal-first Track A submission to the VISSOFT 2022 call for journal-first paper presentations must adhere to the following criteria: * The paper was accepted to a relevant journal and it is in the scope of the conference * The paper was published between July 1, 2019 and July 25, 2022. * The paper reports new research results and/or presents novel contributions that significantly extend, and were not previously reported in, prior work * The paper has not been presented at and is not under consideration for journal-first programs of other conferences Authors of a paper that meets these criteria are invited to submit by email to vissoft2022(a)easychair.org<mailto:vissoft2022@easychair.org> a one-page presentation proposal consisting of the paper's title, the paper's authors, a short statement on how the work satisfies the journal first criteria, and a pointer to the original journal paper at the journal's Website. If the paper is not online yet, then specify so. The original paper (or a preprint) should also be sent during submission. The journal-first manuscripts are published through the journals and will not be part of the Conference proceedings. The journal-first papers will be listed in the conference program. Journal first presentations will have the same presentation time as technical papers. == Important Dates (23:59:59 AoE) Paper Submission: July 25, 2022 Notification: August 1, 2022 Informal Tools Showcase ======================================= As successfully done in the past, at VISSOFT 2022 authors of all accepted papers will be invited to demonstrate their approaches and tools to the participants in an informal setting. More details will follow a few weeks before the conference. How to submit ======================================= Technical papers must not exceed 10 pages (including figures and appendices) plus up to 2 pages that contain ONLY references. NIER/TD papers must not exceed 5 pages including references. Journal-first presentations must submit a one-page proposal. Papers must strictly adhere to the two-column IEEE conference proceedings format.
