Notification of acceptance: May 15, 2015 We solicit workshops related to all areas of visualization including information visualization, scientific visualization, and visual analytics. The workshops venue at IEEE VIS 2015 provides an informal setting for participants to discuss advanced technical topics in visualization, involve experts in the field, disseminate work in progress, and promote new ideas. Workshops should emphasize emerging ideas, concepts, or technologies that are currently too nascent or too interdisciplinary for a full symposium, or bring together experts on a subject to create a report, white-paper, or proposal requiring interactive work sessions that is of potential interest to a substantial segment of the visualization community. A distinction that separates workshops from tutorials is that the information flow for a workshop should not be directed solely from the presenters to the audience. Rather, workshops should engage the participation of all attendees. Workshops at IEEE VIS are open to all registered attendees and 'invitation only' workshops will not be approved.

Chairs: Markus Hadwiger, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology Nathalie Henry Riche, Microsoft Research Redmond Ross Maciejewski, Arizona State University Contact: workshops@ieeevis.org TUTORIALS: Submission deadline: April 30, 2015 Tutorials are intended to cover a wide selection of topics related to IEEE VIS 2015 and provide background on new tools and application domains necessary for research in data and information visualization and visual analytics. Tutorial attendees come from diverse backgrounds, including volume visualization and rendering, information visualization, geographic visualization, visual analytics, high performance computing, and scientific application communities. We are soliciting half-day tutorial proposals in the areas of visualization systems, mathematical foundations, methods, and application areas. We welcome course proposals that introduce emerging technologies to the visualization community, as well as proposals on more traditional visualization topics. Topics can include--but are not limited to--any of those listed in the calls for papers for VAST, InfoVis, and SciVis. Tutorials with an application focus are also encouraged.

Chairs: Natalia Andrienko, Fraunhofer IAIS and City University London Joao Comba, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul Shixia Liu, Tsinghua University Contact: tutorials@ieeevis.org PANELS: <http://ieeevis.org/year/2015/info/call-participation/panels>Submission deadline: June 15, 2015 Panels address important and/or controversial applications and issues in scientific and information visualization and visual analytics today. In particular, we invite topics in connection with interesting application fields. Panels bringing together potential users of visualization technology (e.g. practitioners and industry professionals) and leading researchers, or panels consisting of experts in fields that might teach us important concepts (e.g., perceptual psychology, visual design, color theory, user interface design) are welcome.

Chairs: Heike Leitte, Heidelberg University Tobias Schreck, University of Konstanz Pierre Dragicevic, INRIA Contact: panels@ieeevis.org POSTERS: Submission deadline: June 26, 2015. Notification of acceptance: July 24, 2015. Camera ready (video preview) submission: August 7, 2015. The poster program offers a timely venue to present and discuss new visualization research through a forum that encourages graphical presentation, demonstration and active engagement with IEEE VIS participants. In addition to a poster being displayed throughout IEEE VIS, a two-page summary of your work will be published in the electronic conference proceedings, interactive poster sessions will provide a forum for presenting your work and discussing new ideas with your peers, and finally video previews for posters are strongly suggested.

We invite contributions from the scientific visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics student communities.

Chairs: Christopher Collins, University of Ontario Institute of Technology Liz Marai, University of Illinois at Chicago Margit Pohl, TU/Wien Contact: doctoral_coll@ieeevis.org ARTS PROGRAM: Submission deadline: June 15, 2015 The theme for VISAP’15 is data Improvisations. Artists and visualization researchers share common goals: to make things visible which are normally difficult to see; and to enable reasoning about information that we might otherwise remain ignorant of.
