Early registration deadline: September 23 InfoVis 2005 Eleventh Annual IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization Minneapolis, MN October 23-25, 2005 http://www.infovis.org/infovis/2005 InfoVis is the primary meeting in the field of information visualization and is held in conjunction with the IEEE Visualization 2005 (Vis05) conference. Computer-based information visualization centers around helping people explore or explain data through interactive software that exploits the capabilities of the human perceptual system. The central design challenge in infovis is designing a cognitively useful spatial mapping of a dataset that is not inherently spatial. This year InfoVis has expanded to three full days. The InfoVis Symposium is a single track conference with both an engaging technical program and ample opportunities for interactions with colleagues and friends. The technical program includes research paper presentations, posters, results of the annual InfoVis contest, and videos, which are new this year. This year, the symposium includes a panel on turning information visualization innovations into commercial products and a special panel remembering Steve Roth and his contributions to the field. Keynote and Capstone speakers are - Jim Thomas, Pacific Northwest National Labs "Visual Analytics: a Grand Challenge in Science - Turning Information Overload into the Opportunity of the Decade" - Nigel Holmes, Explanation Graphics "When to draw the line (and when not to)" We hope that you can join us in Minneapolis!
