EuroRV3 Call for Papers

by Stefanie Behnke

EuroRV3: EuroVis Workshop on Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in Visualization - in conjunction with EuroVis 2013 <http://www.eurorvvv.org/> http://www.eurorvvv.org/ *** Call for Papers *** The EuroRV3: EuroVis Workshop on Reproducibility, Verification, and Validation in Visualization focuses on the need for reliable visualization. We concentrate on recent and future developments related to the reproducibility of newly-developed visualization approaches, the verification of visualization and data-processing systems, the validation of visualization paradigms, and the effective incorporation of each of these into modern visualizations. Reliable reproducibility is a given in the more mature sciences such as physics, chemistry, and biology etc. and is a requirement if visualization is to evolve into a mature science. Displaying and analyzing data is of ever-increasing importance in almost all research disciplines. Consequently, the field of visualization is constantly growing and reliable visualizations are of more and more importance for domain experts to gain authentic insights. This progress comes along with a steady growth in diversity and complexity of visualization methods, making judgment of the reliability difficult. This workshop solicits short papers and panel statements that address the core questions of the field of reliability in visualization. This includes - the reproducibility of newly developed visualization approaches - the verification of visualization and data-processing systems - the validation of the used visualization paradigms - the incorporation of such uncertainty aspects into visualizations In addition to the above topics, this year's workshop invites short papers (4 pages) and panel proposals (2 pages) with a special focus on Human-Centered Visualization and Verification. Topics include: - The role of the user in the verification and validation of visualization - Reliability of the human visual system - Limitations challenges associated with the human visual system - Verification that is most effective/objective from a human-centered point of view - Information overload - Intuitive interactions - Human-centered evaluation of visualizations - Cognition - Symbolization and abstraction - Theoretical vs. practically effective validation, verification, and visualization. All accepted papers will be published in electronic proceedings. A selection of the best short papers will be invited to extend their papers and submit to a special issue of Computing and Visualization in Science. Panel proposals describe the topic to be addressed and identify the prospective panelists. Each panelist includes a short position statement on the topic and a short biography, the total of which is limited to 500 words for each panelist, up to a maximum of two pages for the whole panel. *** Important Dates *** Short Papers Submission Deadline: March 8, 2013 Acceptance Notification: April 19, 2013 Camera-ready Deadline: May 3, 2013 *** Workshop Co-Chairs *** Paul Rosenthal Robert S. Laramee Mike Kirby Gordon L. Kindlmann
