IEEE VIS 2014 http://ieeevis.org Call For Participation: BusinessVis Workshop ******************************************************************** Information Visualization and Visual Analytics in Business http://entsci.gatech.edu/businessvis14/ ******************************************************************** Half-day Workshop, Co-located with IEEE VIS 2014 Paris, France, November 10th 2014 Organizers: Rahul Basole, Steven Drucker, Jörn Kohlhammer, Jack Van Wijk Enterprises across all industries are inundated by an accelerating tsunami of business data. Converting these data and insights into better business outcomes is a pressing and strategic challenge for many managers, decision makers, and executives. While there is a growing interest in business analytics, advanced information visualization and visual analytic tools have lagged behind. This is in part explained by the plethora and complexity of design and implementation challenges presented by diverse business users, data, and contexts. This workshop aims to bring together researchers and practitioners interested in in presenting, exploring, and understanding complex business issues through visualization and visual analytics. We welcome submissions on a variety of topics, including: * Real-world experiences with designing, building, deploying and evaluating new information visualization and visual analytic systems * Case studies describing success (and failure) of applying visualization to business contexts * Domain-specific enterprise applications of visualization and visual analytics (i.e. healthcare, manufacturing, energy, media, transportation, finance, etc.) * Review and evaluative papers discussing or comparing current tools and toolchains; integration with other enterprise support tools (i.e. modeling, simulation, etc.) We encourage submissions of short papers (up to 4 pages) presenting novel, thought-provoking ideas and promising (preliminary) results. Submissions: September 15, 2014 Notifications: October 1, 2014 Workshop: November 2014 Contact businessvis14@gmail.com for any questions.
