We are soliciting paper in visualization and analytics for decision support, operational management, and scientific discovery as part of the minitrack with the same name at HICSS 47. Accepted paper will appear in the proceedings as well as the IEEE Digital Library. HICSS is always one of the top conferences for downloads in the IEEE Digital Library! A description of the paper topics is below. Please contact us with any questions. We look forward to receiving your submissions, David, Tom, Kelly David Ebert Tom Ertl Kelly Gaither ------------------------------------------ This minitrack will have applications in a broad range of situations where human expertise must be brought to bear on problems characterized by massive datasets and data that are uncertain in fact, relevance, location in space and position in time. Examples include environmental science and technologies, natural resources and energy, health and related life sciences, safety and security (aircraft safety, law enforcement, antiterrorism, disaster relief) and business processes. We encourage submissions that extend the areas of use to include a broader range of analytic tasks such as science and technology, public health, business intelligence, financial analysis, and other domains where interactive visualization systems may be used to improve human decision making. Submissions may include studies of visual analytics and decision support in the context of an organization (e.g., communication between analysts and policy-makers), perceptual and cognitive aspects of the analytic task, and collaborative analysis using visual information systems. -------------------------------------------------- - Dr. David S.
