The symposium covers all aspects of visualization and issues affecting interaction with large and complex data sets. We encourage the submission of papers covering new techniques, old techniques applied in novel ways, new methods, interesting applications and in-depth surveys. Peer-reviewed papers will be published in conference proceedings by the IEEE Computer Society, with ISBN number, and will be indexed by IEEE Xplore and other major bibliographical search engines. ** Example topics include, but are not limited to: High-performance computing and parallel rendering Nucleotide and protein sequence alignment and search Protein structure, function, sequence analysis Signaling pathways, biochemical networks Gene regulation, expression, identification and networks DNA, RNA structure, function, sequence analysis Biochemical and cellular simulations and models Structural, functional and comparative genomics Biomarkers Drug design Computer aided diagnosis ** Examples of visualization topics include, but are not limited to: Interaction with data sets, human factors Data exploration using classical and novel approaches Visualization and databases Linking literature and semantics in pathway visualizations Volume and flow visualization Annotation and labeling Overview and detail presentation of predictive or uncertain data Comparative Methods / User studies / Surveys Identification of correlated and anomalous relationships in disparate data sets ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Important Dates: 1 March 2012 - Submission of papers through online submission system 5 May 2012 - Submission of camera-ready (accepted submissions) and early registration 11 July 2012 - Symposium ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Symposium: http://www.graphicslink.co.uk/IV2012/IVbm.htm Submission procedures: http://www.graphicslink.co.uk/IV2012/PAPERS.htm IV 2012: http://www.graphicslink.co.uk/IV2012/ ** Symposium chairs: Urska Cvek, Sc.D.
