********* New deadline ***************** * * * Thursday, the 28th of January, 2010 * * * **************************************** ________________________________________________________________________ Dear colleagues, For the forthcoming workshop GeoVA(T): GeoSpatial Visual Analytics: Focus on Time we are pleased to announce the keynote talk Title: Space and Time: Research Opportunities in Two Critical Foundations of Visual Analytics by Jim Thomas AAAS, PNNL Fellow Senior Science Advisor National Visualization and Analytics Center, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory President and CEO DiscoverVisualAnalytics LLC Short Bio Jim Thomas is American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) Fellow and Laboratory Fellow at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory with over 35 years of experience. He is founder and past Director of a Department of Homeland Security National Visualization and Analytics Center and the science of visual analytics. He is considered the father for visual analytics and specializes in the research, design, and implementation of innovative information and analytic visualization, multimedia, and human computer interaction technology; however, he has a broad working knowledge of information technology. Some of the recent technologies developed have set a new stage for the visualization of masses of multimedia information sources with several publications, patents, digital media with recent publications being widely referenced and re-printed. He received the Christopher Columbus award for science innovation supporting homeland security in the US Capital Oct 13, 2009. Jim has led teams in text, numerical, image and video, temporal and geospatial analysis for massive information spaces. He has received several international science awards including "Top 100 Scientific Innovators" (Science Digest) and twice the Research and Development's Industrial Research 100 Significant Scientific and Industry Accomplishments "Top 100 Innovators in Science and Industry". In addition, twice he was awarded the Federal Laboratories Consortium Technology Transfer Award for innovation in transferring research technology to industry and universities. Best regards, Gennady, on behalf of the workshop organizers P.S. The deadline for submitting extended abstracts (up to 4-pages PDF, IEEE VisWeek style) is January 28, 2010 Workshop Web site: http://geoanalytics.net/GeoVA(t)2010 Conference management system: https://cmt.research.microsoft.com/GEOVAT2010/ ____________________________________________________________ Fraunhofer Institute IAIS: http://www.iais.fraunhofer.de ICA GeoVisualization Commission: http://geoanalytics.net/ica Andrienko's homepage: http://geoanalytics.net/and ____________________________________________________________ ---------------------- Call for papers ------------------------------- GeoVA(T): GeoSpatial Visual Analytics: Focus on Time http://geoanalytics.net/GeoVA(t)2010 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: ----------------------------------------- - January 28, 2010 - submission of extended abstracts.
