---------------- Apologies for cross-posting ------------------------- ---------------------- Call for papers ------------------------------- GeoVA(T): GeoSpatial Visual Analytics: Focus on Time http://geoanalytics.net/GeoVA2010 Workshop at AGILE http://agile2010.dsi.uminho.pt/ , 11 May 2010, and special issue of IJGIS - Int J GIScience http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/13658816.html tentative publication date: September 2010 The workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops on - Visualization, Analytics and Spatial Decision Support at the GIScience’2006 conference, - Geovisualization of Dynamics, Movement and Change at AGILE'2008, - GeoSpatial Visual Analytics at GIScience'2008. Selected papers from the previous workshops, including research agenda papers, were published as special issues of - IJGIS, 2007, v.21(8), 2007 - Information Visualization, 2008, v.7 (3/4) - CaGIS, 2009, v.36 (3) The theme for the workshop and this special issue of International Journal of Geographical Information Science is the use of GeoVisual Analytics approaches for exploring and analysing large data sets with both spatial and temporal components. Original papers are solicited in this area. In particular, we encourage innovative papers detailing tight integration of visualization, data mining, database processing, optimization and other computational processing methods. The workshop will provide participants with the possibility to present ongoing and developing work without committing to a full journal paper. The journal special issue will provide participants with the opportunity of reporting their work in a refereed journal. Example topics include, but are not limited to, the visualization and interactive analysis of large data sets representing: - individual and group movement behaviours, either in physical or virtual spaces - dynamics of geo-localised sensor data - spatio-temporal events - remotely sensed data, multi-scale and multi-temporal - large high-dimensional data sets in space and time - streams of spatio-temporal data as well as - models and semantics of time in geospatial visual analytics - knowledge construction and reasoning about spatial and temporal phenomena and processes - application of innovative visual analytics methods to real-life problems Organizers and Guest Editors: ----------------------------- Gennady and Natalia Andrienko, Jason Dykes, Menno-Jan Kraak, and Heidrun Schumann ICA Commission on GeoVisualization, http://geoanalytics.net/ica Supported by: ------------- - VisMaster - Visual Analytics - Mastering the Information Age (FET-Open Coordination Action) http://www.vismaster.eu - SPP VA - Scalable Visual Analytics: Interactive Visual Analysis Systems of Complex Information Spaces (DFG Priority Research Program) http://www.visualanalytics.de/ - MODAP - Mobility, Data Mining, and Privacy (FET-Open Coordination Action) http://www.modap.org - MOVE - Knowledge Discovery from Moving Objects (COST-Action IC0903) http://w3.cost.esf.org/index.php?id=177&action_number=IC0903 Paper submission and selection procedure: ----------------------------------------- - October 6, 2009 - CFP for the special issue published - January 22, 2010 - submission of extended abstracts.
