[CFP] BigVis Workshop: Big Data Visual Exploration & Analytics, EDBT 2021, Cyprus
by NIkos 20 Nov '20

20 Nov '20

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 --------------------------------------------------------- Submissions ------------------------------------ Regular/Short Research papers [up to 8/4 pages] Work-in-progress papers [up to 4 pages] Vision papers [up to 4 pages] System papers and Demos [up to 4 pages] Important Dates ------------------------------------ Submission: January 8, 2021 Notification: January 29, 2021 Camera-ready: February 8, 2021 Workshop: March 23, 2021 Organizing Committee ------------------------------------ Nikos Bikakis, ATHENA Research Center, Greece Panos K.

VisGuides Workshop on Guidelines and Principles in Visualization (free and open to everyone, Oct 25)
by Benjamin Bach 22 Oct '20

22 Oct '20

Dear Colleagues, Join us (online) for the 3rd Workshop on the Creation, Curation, Critique and Conditioning of Principles and Guidelines in Visualization on Sunday (Oct 25), 8am-11:30 Mountain time (https://nms.kcl.ac.uk/c4pgv) Attendance is open to everyone (academic or not) and free, please register for free to the IEEE VIS conference (http://ieeevis.org) to obtain access. This year we’re focusing on two timely topics—education and public health—related to guidelines and visualization knowledge and we want to discuss how visualization knowledge is used, translated, and applied in these domains. With the increasing awareness of visualization (publicly) and the increasing amount of research in visualization, we need to (re?)think about how we present and communicate all this knowledge outside the community and how we can act as a community with core research contributions. Each of our topics this year is representing one such field at the frontier of knowledge communication and application. Each topic is informed by a keynote and followed by a panel with open discussion. Session 1: Teaching Visualization Guidelines Keynote: Silvia Miksch (Vienna University of Technology) - Guidelines meet Guidance: Challenges and Opportunities Panelists: Sheelagh Carpendale | Arzu Coltekin | Robert S. Laramee | Lace Padilla | Jonathan Roberts --> see also the IEEE VIS Workshop on VisActivities to facilitate learning, reflecting, discussing, and designing. on Oct 26: (http://visactivities.github.io) Samuel Huron <https://perso.telecom-paristech.fr/shuron/#!index.md>, (Telecom Paris, Institut Polytechnique de Paris), Benjamin Bach <http://benjbach.me/> (University of Edinburgh), Uta Hinrichs <http://utahinrichs.de/> (University of St. Andrews), Jonathan C.
