BioVis 2016 Posters track at IEEE VIS in Baltimore, MD October 23rd, 2016 http://biovis.net/2016/ieeevis/ #biovis BioVis 2016 is the 6th Meeting on Biological Data Visualization, an interdisciplinary event covering all aspects of visualization in biology. The meeting brings together researchers from the visualization, bioinformatics, and biology communities with the purpose of educating, inspiring, and engaging visualization researchers in problems in biological data visualization, as well as bioinformatics and biology researchers in state-of-the-art visualization research. It is hosted as a one-day single-track event at VIS (http://ieeevis.org) and a SIG half-day meeting at ISMB (https://www.iscb.org/ismb2016). The *BioVis@Vis 2016 Posters track *offers a venue to present and discuss new research in biological data visualization. Submissions take the form of a short (250-word) abstract with a supporting figure and are presented at the conference site as large format posters during a dedicated poster session. The BioVis workshop as a whole aims to promote interaction between the visualization, bioinformatics, and biology communities, and the BioVis poster session offers an interactive forum that encourages graphical presentation, demonstration, and active engagement with BioVis participants as well as all attendees of IEEE VIS. *Important Dates* *August 26, 2016* - Poster submission to the BioVis workshop at IEEE VIS *September 9, 2016* - Author notification of posters for the workshop Submission for BioVis@VIS: https://precisionconference.com/~vgtc/ *Example poster topics include, but are not limited to:* Work-in-progress and preliminary results Previously published work from other venues Visualization challenges relevant to the BioVis community Extensions of Papers submissions and content that doesn’t fit Podium presentations Details about, or generalizations of contest submissions *Review Process:* Each poster submission will be read and evaluated by the Poster Chairs for quality and relevance to the BioVis venue with the goal of being as inclusive as possible and encouraging cross-domain interactions.
