IEEE VIS 2014 (formerly VisWeek) http://ieeevis.org/ CALL FOR PAPERS & PARTICIPATION 9 - 14 NOVEMBER, 2014 PARIS, FRANCE 9TH IEEE VISUAL ANALYTICS SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE 20TH IEEE INFORMATION VISUALIZATION CONFERENCE 25th IEEE SCIENTIFIC VISUALIZATION CONFERENCE Co-located Symposia and Workshops: LARGE-SCALE DATA ANALYSIS AND VISUALIZATION (LDAV) SYMPOSIUM VISUALIZATION FOR CYBER SECURITY (VizSec) WORKSHOP NOVEL EVALUATION METHODS FOR VISUALIZATION (Beliv) WORKSHOP (others to be announced soon) IEEE VIS 2014 is the premier forum for advances in visualization. The event-packed week brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to explore their shared interests in tools, techniques, and technology. We invite you to participate in IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology, IEEE Information Visualization, and IEEE Scientific Visualization by sharing your research, insights, experience, and enthusiasm. CO-LOCATED SYMPOSIA The 5th IEEE Symposium on Large-Scale Data Analysis and Visualization (LDAV) aims at bringing together domain scientists, data analytics and visualization researchers, and users, and fostering the needed exchange to develop the next-generation data-intensive analysis and visualization technology. Visit ldav.org for more information. Other symposia will be announced soon! PRE-APPROVED WORKSHOPS The 11th IEEE Visualization for Cyber Security Symposium (VizSec) aims at bringing together researchers and practitioners in information visualization and security to address the specific needs of the cyber security community through new and insightful visualization techniques. Visit www.vizsec.org for more information. The BELIV workshop series (http://www.beliv.org) is a bi-annual event focusing on the challenges of evaluation in visualization. The commonly used evaluation metrics such as task time completion and number of errors appear insufficient to quantify the quality of a visualization system; BELIV 2014 aims at gathering researchers in all fields of visualization to continue the exploration of novel evaluation methods, and to structure the knowledge on evaluation in visualization around a schema, where researchers can easily identify unsolved problems and research gaps. The VAST Contest will provide realistic problems and datasets to showcase the effectiveness of tools and methods in the domain of visual analytics. The contest collects several entries of varying complexity, aimed at allowing students, researchers, practitioners, and industry to benchmark their tools in a replicated way. LOCATION To celebrate its 25th anniversary in 2014, IEEE VIS comes for the first time in its history to Europe and the city of Paris, acknowledging the growing role of European research on visualization. Paris is a spectacular setting, combining the dynamic character of multicultural modern Europe with historical relics and monuments spanning over 2000 years. Curious visitors can explore the city's countless museums, galleries, and public spaces, while gastronomes will delight in Paris's extraordinary selection of restaurants. Located at the center of Western Europe, Paris is reachable from all major international airports. The conference venue is also conveniently located next to public transportation and accessible from all of the city's main airports and train stations. The conference will be located at the downtown Marriott Rive-Gauche, close to the main train line connecting the two airports of Paris.
