=====================================
The AVI 2010 Workshop on
Interactive Data Exploration and Knowledge Discovery
Rome, Italy
May 25, 2010
http://staff.science.uva.nl/~elenaz/AVI2010/
======================================
held in conjunction with the 2010 Working Conference on Advanced Visual
Interfaces: http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~avi2010/
SUBMISSION DEADLINE (abstracts in ACM format): March 4, 2010
People have always relied on visual tools such as maps, charts and
diagrams to better understand problems and solve them in less time.
Continuous improvements in computer processing power and graphics
capabilities have made it possible to incorporate a wide range of
advanced visualization techniques in most computing application domains,
including business, medicine, engineering and science. However, without
interactivity, visualisation is often considered as an end point of the
workflow or as a way of communicating observations. The way people
perceive and interact with visualisations can strongly influence their
understanding of the data as well as the usefulness of a visualisation
system in general.
Important progress has been recently made toward the improvement of a
computer-supported information analysis cycle. However, many challenges
still remain. The greatest challenge is how to efficiently deal with a
community of scientists who generate more data than they can possibly
look at and understand. This requires novel high-performance
visualisation algorithms and feature extraction techniques. Finding
effective visual idioms for direct user interaction is yet another
challenge. Also, it is becoming crucial to develop new guidelines and
metrics to be able to efficiently evaluate interactive exploration
environments. Another concern is how to choose from a wide plethora of
available input devices and display configurations to ensure a good user
experience and 'human-to-human' interaction between scientists while
exploring complex data spaces.
The goal of the workshop is to bring together academic researchers and
practitioners from computer science, HCI, software engineering, social
sciences and psychology to discuss the state-of-the-art research and to
exchange ideas to help overcome the aforementioned challenges. Topics of
interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to the following:
* Advanced visualisation algorithms and systems;
* Augmented and Virtual Reality for exploring complex data spaces;
* Collaborative virtual environments;
* Novel display systems and interaction devices;
* Multi-modal visualisation and interaction;
* Adaptive interaction for effective data exploration and knowledge
discovery;
* Social user interfaces;
* Human factors in computer-supported exploration;
* Design guidelines for interactive visualisation tools;
* Relevant usability and user experience studies;
* Interactive visualisation applications and systems.
Submission Guidelines:
Please submit a short abstract of maximum one page to
e.v.zudilova-seinstra@uva.nl and tony.adriaansen@gmail.com by March 4,
2010. Submissions will be judged based on their scientific quality and
application value.
Please strictly comply with the ACM formats
(http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates), when
preparing your abstract(s).
Submissions are invited from the academic, industrial and commercial
institutes. All accepted abstracts will be published in the AVI 2010
Conference Proceedings by ACM and the authors will be invited to give an
oral presentation during the workshop. Also, following on from the
example of previous related workshops, a selected number of accepted
contributions will be expanded and revised for possible inclusion into a
journal special issue or an edited volume.
Important Dates:
04 March – deadline for abstract submission (ACM format)
14 March – notification of acceptance
25 May – workshop at AVI 2010 (Rome, Italy)
