by Carolin Brandt 12 Jan '21

12 Jan '21

VISSOFT 2021: 9th IEEE Working Conference on Software Visualization Call for Papers ============ Conference website: https://vissoft.info/2021/ 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. This year’s VISSOFT, co-held with ICSME, encourages a variety of submissions that address outstanding challenges in software systems using visualization. This includes technical papers, evaluations, applications/design studies, systems and formalisms, and papers that present novel ideas and tools. === Topics of interest include: - Innovative visualization and visual analytics techniques for 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 understand 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 technical papers, VISSOFT features a New Ideas and Emerging Results and Tool Demo (NIER/TD) track. All accepted submissions will appear in the conference proceedings and the IEEE Digital Library. Submission Types =============== ==== Technical papers: 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 at a maximum 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 can submit the video together with their paper if the size of the video is smaller than 50 MB, alternatively a URL to the video could be provided. 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. Awards: VISSOFT 2021 will award best technical papers. Special issue: A selection of best papers will be invited to submit extended versions for tentative publication in a Special Section of the journal of Information and Software Technology published by Elsevier http://www.elsevier.com/locate/infsof Artifact evaluation: Paper authors are encouraged to submit research artifacts (e.g., tools, data repositories, frameworks, videos) to the artifact evaluation track of ICSME.

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: Paper Abstract: June 11, 2021 Paper Submission: June 18, 2021 Notification: July 23, 2021 Camera-Ready: August 6, 2021 Conference: September 27-28, 2021 (to be confirmed) Submission link: https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vissoft2021 ==== Journal First Track A submission to the VISSOFT 2021 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 June 1, 2018 and June 10, 2021: - 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 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 Web site.

[Final CFP & Special Issue] BigVis: Big Data Visual Exploration & Analytics Workshop, EDBT 2021, Cyprus
by Nikos Bikakis 07 Jan '21

07 Jan '21

**Special Issue** Extended versions of the best papers will be invited for submission to a Special Issue of the IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) [pending final decision]. **Special Theme** Machine Learning and Visualization: BigVis 2021 will devote a session to machine learning approaches in the context of Big data visualization and analytics. **Deadline Extension** Due to numerous requests the submission deadline has been extended to **January 18, 2021** ------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers BigVis 2021: 4th International Workshop on Big Data Visual Exploration and Analytics https://bigvis.imsi.athenarc.gr/bigvis2021 March 23, 2021, Nicosia, Cyprus Held in conjunction with the 24th Intl. Conference on Extending Database Technology & 24th Intl. Conference on Database Theory (EDBT/ICDT 2021) Information Visualization is nowadays one of the cornerstones of Data Science, turning the abundance of Big Data being produced through modern systems into actionable knowledge. Indeed, the Big Data era has realized the availability of voluminous datasets that are dynamic, noisy and heterogeneous in nature. Transforming a data-curious user into someone who can access and analyze that data is even more burdensome now for a great number of users with little or no support and expertise on the data processing part. Thus, the area of data visualization, visual exploration and analysis has gained great attention recently, calling for joint action from different research areas from the HCI, Computer graphics and Data management and mining communities. In this respect, several traditional problems from these communities such as efficient data storage, querying & indexing for enabling visual analytics, new ways for visual presentation of massive data, efficient interaction and personalization techniques that can fit to different user needs are revisited. The modern exploration and visualization systems should nowadays offer scalable techniques to efficiently handle billion objects datasets, limiting the visual response in a few milliseconds along with mechanisms for information abstraction, sampling and summarization for addressing problems related to visual information over-plotting. Further, they must encourage user comprehension offering customization capabilities to different user-defined exploration scenarios and preferences according to the analysis needs. Overall, the challenge is to offer self-service visual analytics, i.e. enable data scientists and business analysts to visually gain value and insights out of the data as rapidly as possible, minimizing the role of IT-expert in the loop. The BigVis workshop aims at addressing the above challenges and issues by providing a forum for researchers and practitioners to discuss, exchange, and disseminate their work. BigVis attempts to attract attention from the research areas of Data Management & Mining, Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction and highlight novel works that bridge together these communities. Workshop Topics ------------------------------------ In the context of visual exploration and analytics, topics of interest include, but are not limited to: - Visualization, exploration & analytics techniques for various data types; e.g., stream, spatial, graph - Human -in -the -loop processing - Human -centered databases - Data modeling, storage, indexing, caching, prefetching & query processing for interactive applications - Interactive & human -centered machine learning - Interactive data mining - User -oriented visualization; e.g., recommendation, assistance, personalization - Visualization & knowledge; e.g., storytelling - Progressive analytics - In -situ visual exploration & analytics - Novel interface & interaction paradigms - Visual representation techniques; e.g., aggregation, sampling, multi -level, filtering - Scalable visual operations; e.g., zooming, panning, linking, brushing - Scientific visualization; e.g., volume visualization - Analytics in the fields of scholarly data, digital libraries, multimedia, scientific data, social data, etc. - Immersive visualization - Interactive computer graphics - Setting -oriented visualization; e.g., display resolution/size, smart phones, visualization over networks - High performance, distributed & parallel techniques - Visualization hardware & acceleration techniques - Linked Data & ontologies visualization - Benchmarks for data visualization & analytics - Case & user studies - Systems & tools Special Theme ------------------------------------ ***Machine Learning and Visualization*** BigVis 2021 will devote a session to machine learning approaches in the context of Big data visualization and analytics.
