Dear VIS enthusiast:

I would like to point you to a new initiative at IEEE TVCG – VIS Surveys.
VIS Surveys  are essentially TVCG survey articles with a VIS theme. Their
length is up to 20 journal pages (the usual length of a TVCG survey paper).
As is the case for all successful TVCG articles, the authors have the
option to orally present their work at the annual VIS conference. So, if
you are aiming for VIS 2018, then you should plan to submit your VIS Survey
paper to TVCG by December 31, 2017. If you would like to test an idea,
please feel free to send me an email <mueller at cs.stonybrook.edu> with a
quick overview.



More concretely, VIS Surveys have the specific aim to (1) provide
unfamiliar readers a quick gateway into a VIS-related research domain, and
(2) help professionals working in the field stay abreast with developments
in this rapidly evolving area of research. VIS Survey papers are meant to
be easily accessible to non-experts and are designed to provide a thorough,
integrative, up-to-date, and comprehensive narration of the existing body
of research in the survey’s target domain. They cover the subject’s theory
as well as its practice, point out existing trends, enable a critical
comparison of existing research efforts and results, and in some occasions
also shed a light on developments in the commercial arena.



Topics of interest are all aspects of data visualization, such as
scientific visualization, medical visualization, flow visualization,
information visualization, visual analytics, visual data science, virtual
reality, augmented reality, human-computer interaction, visual perception,
active machine learning, high performance visual computing, and others. The
focus can be software, hardware, or both. VIS Survey papers are up to 20
double-columned pages in length and are rigorously peer-reviewed by domain
experts. They are published in IEEE Transaction on Visualization and
Computer Graphics (TVCG) and can be orally presented at the annual
Visualization (VIS) conference.
