*** APOLOGIES FOR CROSS-POSTINGS *** Call for Papers Conference on Visualization and Data Analysis (VDA) 2011 http://cgv.kaist.ac.kr/vda2011/ 23-27 January 2011 Part of IS&T/SPIE Electronic Imaging 2011 Highlights ========== Venue: Hyatt Regency San Francisco Airport Hotel, San Francisco, CA 94010 http://sanfranciscoairport.hyatt.com/hyatt/hotels/index.jsp Submission Deadline: 28 June 2010 http://cgv.kaist.ac.kr/vda2011/?page=submission Keynote Address: "The Science of Visual Analysis at Extreme Scale" Dr. Lucille T. Nowell Program Manager, Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR), U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Journal Extension: Authors of the best papers will be invited to revise and extend their work for publication in a special issue of Information Visualization (http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ivs/index.html). Conference Sponsorship: The VDA 2011 conference is pending sponsorship by Hewlett Packard (HP) Labs, National Visualization and Analytics Center (NVAC), and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). ============================================================================ The VDA 2011 conference covers all research and development and application aspects of data visualization and, more recently, visual analytics (http://nvac.pnl.gov). Since the first VDA conference was held in 1994, the annual event has grown steadily into a major venue for visualization researchers and practitioners from around the world to present their work and share their experience every year. We invite you to participate by submitting your original research as full paper or posters and join us in San Francisco, CA. Both paper and poster submissions will be peer reviewed. The average paper acceptance rate of the recent VDA conferences was about 50%. Papers presented at this conference will be published in a bound proceedings published by IS&T/SPIE. Authors of the best papers will be invited to revise and extend their work for publication in a special issue of Information Visualization (http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ivs/index.html). Since the term "data visualization" was found in the literature in the early 90's, it has gradually evolved into a broad area of research and development. The data visualization Wikipedia page (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_visualization) and its references provide a glimpse into its history of innovation and the latest cutting-edge technology. Papers and posters are solicited on all topics of data visualization. They include, but are not limited to: * Internet imaging, medical imaging, image processing * Biomedical visualization and applications * Internet, web, and security visualizations * Analysis techniques and data mining * Data exploration using classical and novel approaches * Databases and visualization * High-performance computing and parallel rendering * Tools and applications exemplified by case studies * Virtual environments and data visualization * Information and scientific visualization * Volume and flow visualization * Interaction paradigms and human factors Conference Chairs ================= * Pak Chung Wong, Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, pak.wong@pnl.gov * Chaomei Chen, Drexel University, Chaomei.Chen@cis.drexel.edu * Ming C.
