# CALL FOR PAPERS The 14th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction (VINCI 2021) 6-8 September 2021, Potsdam (located right next to Berlin), Germany https://vinci-conf.org/ # IMPORTANT DATES (EXTENDED) - Full/Short Papers: Mai 13, 2021 - Notification: July 1, 2021 - Camera ready: July 21, 2021 # VENUE AND KEYNOTES The conference is organized by the Computer Graphics Systems Group at the Hasso Plattner Institute, and, at the time of this writing, is planned as a hybrid event. We are pleased to point out the venue’s two keynotes, which will be given by Prof. Dr. Tamara Munzner and Prof. Dr. Alexandru C. Telea. # PAPER SUBMISSION Full papers of up to eight (8) ACM double-column pages should be submitted through https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vinci2021. Submissions of four (4) or less pages will be considered as short papers. Submissions that address research and development, and experience reports on the above topics are strongly encouraged. Every submission will be peer-reviewed by at least three international program committee members in a double-blind process. We highly recommend submitting an anonymized version of your manuscript by removing all author and affiliation information from submissions and supplemental files. All accepted papers will appear in the proceedings of VINCI 2021 published by ACM ICPS and made available in the ACM Digital Library (EI indexed). Moreover, authors of a number of selected full papers of high quality will be invited to prepare revised versions of their work for submission to a special issue of the Journal of Visualization (SCI indexed) and a special issue of the Journal of Visual Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art. # SCOPE AND TOPICS We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on all aspects of visual information communication and interaction, either via images, computer graphics, animations, virtual reality, web, or other visual media. Research papers should address cognitive and design aspects, underlying theories, taxonomies, implementation work, tool support, and case studies. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the following: - Visual communication metaphors - Cognitive aspects of visual information comprehension - Empirical studies of novel visual metaphors - Visualization on artificial intelligence, machine learning and other fields - Explainable artificial intelligence - Aesthetics in visual communication and computational aesthetics - Influence of visual arts and design to visual communication - Information visualization and visual analytics - Visual approaches to knowledge discovery - Visual interaction through multimodality - Visualization on mobile devices - Graph drawing and network visualization - Visual modeling languages - Visual programming languages - Graphical user interface design - Human-computer interaction - Applications in SoftVis, BioVis, GeoVis, etc. Detailed information on the electronic submission can be found on the conference web page.
