-------------- Call for Posters --------------- IEEE PacificVis 2013 Sydney, Australia, February 27 to March 1, 2013 http://sydney.edu.au/engineering/it/~pvis2013/ ----------------------------------------------- The 6th PacificVis Symposium (Pacific Visualization) will be held in Sydney, Australia from February 27 to March 1, 2013. As part of PacificVis, workshop/tutorial sessions will be held on February 26. PacificVis is an IEEE sponsored international visualization symposium held in the Asia-Pacific region, with the objective to foster greater exchange between visualization researchers and practitioners, and to draw more researchers in the Asia-Pacific region to enter this rapidly growing area of research. PacificVis 2013 is soliciting high quality poster proposals. The PacificVis 2013 poster program offers an opportunity to present innovative techniques in commercial products, work in progress, student projects, or non-traditional research. We especially welcome presentations of novel interface and interaction techniques for visualization. The objective is to foster exchange between researchers and practitioners in the fields of visualization and HCI. Important Dates: Poster submission deadline: December 17, 2012, 11:59pm (PDT) Notification of acceptance: January 8, 2013 Camera-ready version due: January 21, 2013 Symposium: February 27 - March 1, 2013 Workshop/Tutorial: February 26 Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: Data focused visualization research * high-dimensional and multi-variate data * causality and uncertainty data * time-varying data * scalar, vector and tensor fields * regular and unstructured data * spatial data * large-scale data Technique focused visualization research * volume modeling and rendering * feature extraction * topology-based and geometry-based techniques * glyph-based techniques * dimension reduction, machine-learning approaches Graph and network visualization research * graph drawing algorithms * graphs, trees, and other rational data * interaction techniques for graphs and networks * social and scale-free networks * aesthetic for graph drawing readability Interaction focused visualization research * focus+context techniques * animation * zooming and navigation * linking+brushing * labeling, editing, and annotation * collaborative * co-located and distributed * manipulation and deformation * visual data mining Empirical and comprehension focused visualization research * visual design and aesthetics * cognition and perception * presentation and storytelling, usability studies * validation and verification * color, texture, scene and motion perception System focused visualization research * mobile and ubiquitous * taxonomies and models * methodologies and frameworks * visualization system and toolkit design * illustrative visualization * database visualization * collaborative visualization Hardware, display and interaction technology * large and high-resolution displays * stereo displays; immersive and virtual environments * multimodal input * GPU and multi-core architectures * CPU and GPU clusters * grid and cloud environments Visualization application areas * visualization in mathematics, financial, security, and business visualization, geo-visualization, biomedical visualization, text and documents, visualization for education, multimedia visualization, social media visualization and health An interactive poster session will be held to allow plenty of opportunities for one-on-one dialogue and small group discussion in a casual setting. Extended abstracts of the accepted posters will be distributed at the conference, but these abstracts will NOT be included in the symposium proceedings and will NOT be considered publications. The same work can therefore be submitted to a journal or conference later. Posters should present at least partial results achieved with a new technique. Submissions describing unsubstantiated ideas for future research will not be accepted. Based on the results of paper review process, the PacificVis 2013 program committee will also decide to offer several authors to present their work as invited posters and we expect to build a high quality poster program based on these core contributions. Posters will be evaluated by the PacificVis 2013 Poster Co-Chairs based on the level of contribution, validity of the results, originality, and clarity of presentation. Submission Instructions Posters of up to 2 pages (two-column, single-spaced, 10 point font, including figures, tables and references) are invited. Manuscripts must be written in English, and follow the formatting guidelines. DOC and LaTeX templates are available at http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Track/pacvis.html. Submissions should be made electronically in Adobe PDF (no paper copy will be accepted) by e-mailing it to the Poster Co-Chairs (pvispstr@it.usyd.edu.au) by the deadline specified below. File name should start with primary author's full last name followed by an underscore and arbitrary poster name, for example smith_graph_drawing.pdf. Please do NOT use paper submission system for anything related to posters. Even if the PacificVis 2013 program committee offered you to present an invited poster based on your earlier paper submission, please send the new 2-page version to the Poster Co-Chairs (pvispstr@it.usyd.edu.au) by the deadline specified below. This will serve as an indication that you accept the invitation and are willing to present your work as a poster at the conference.
