-++----------------------------------------------------------------------

 || Visualization Symposium in Bergen, Norway; www.UiB.no/EuroVis2011

 || Dates: May 31 (EuroVA), then EuroVis on June 1--3, 2011

 || Abstracts due Nov. 26, 2010,

 || Papers due Dec. 3, 2010

 ||

 |

 

-+  With this *call for papers*,

 |  we invite the active participation in *EuroVis 2011*

 |  with the presentation of *high-quality visualization research*. 

 

-+  EuroVis 2011,

 |  i.e., the *Eurographics/IEEE Symposium on Visualization*,

 |  is annually organized

 |  by the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization

 |  and the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. 

 |  General URL: http://www.EuroVis.org/

 

-+  In 2011, the symposium is located in *Bergen, Norway*,

 |  continuing an already extensive series of earlier meetings,

 |  consisting of *12 EuroVis/VisSym events* in the years 1999--2010

 |  (most recently in Bordeaux, Berlin, Eindhoven, and Norrköping),

 |  as well as *9 EG ViSC Workshops* in the years 1990 to 1998. 

 |  Bergen is a historic port-town on the scenic west coast

 |  of Norway, also called the *gateway to the fjords*. 

 

!!  Important note:

!!  Early June is amongst the few very best weeks in the year 

!!  to visit Bergen and it is very, very popular during this time --

!!  early booking of accomodation (before April!) is strongly

!!  recommended to avoid problems with the travel planning. 

 

-+  Papers accepted for EuroVis 2011

 |  are published in a special issue of *Computer Graphics Forum*,

 |  i.e., The Int'l Journal of the Eurographics Association,

 |  after a *two-staged peer-reviewing process*. 

 

-+  Submissions should be 9 pages (at most),

 |  excluding references, and 10 pages (at most), in total. 

 

-+  Abstracts are due *Nov. 26, 2010*,

 |  and full papers on *Dec. 3, 2010*

 |  (more dates further below).

 

-+  Suggested topics for research papers include (but are not

 |  limited to):

 

 *  Visualization Taxonomies and Models

 

 *  Spatial Data in Visualization:

    visualization of scalar, vector, and tensor fields,

    multi-field, multi-variate, and multi-dimensional visualization,

    multi-resolution techniques, visualization of irregular and

    unstructured grid data, geographic data, and molecular data

 

 *  Non-Spatial Data:

    visualization of graphs and trees, high-dimensional data,

    dimensionality reduction for visualization, ambient information

    in visualization, text and document visualization, and

    the visualizaiton of time series data

 

  * Large Data Visualization:

    visualization of time-varying data, streams,

    compression techniques, parallel and distributed visualization,

    scalability, visualization over networks, visualization

    hardware and acceleration techniques 

 

  * Visualization Techniques:

    metrical, geometrical, topological, pixel-oriented, point-based,

    volume-based, icon-/glyph-based, graph-based, feature-based,

    hierarchical, illustrative, view-dependent, focus+context,

    statistical, and animated visualization techniques 

 

  * Visual Analytics, Visual Data Mining, and Knowledge Discovery:

    in particular the integration of computational approaches

    with interactive visualization, visualization for

    exploration, analysis, and presentation

 

!!  Please note that EuroVis is open to all kinds of high-quality

!!  visualization works, especially also to visual analytics --

!!  in coordination with EuroVA, we invite researchers in the field

!!  of visual analytics to submit full paper submissions to EuroVis

!!  and short papers / posters to EuroVA (later deadline). 

 

  * Interaction:

    human-computer interaction for visualization, interaction design,

    zooming and navigation, linking & brushing, coordinated multiple

    views, data editing, manipulation, and deformation, guided

    visualization and interactive visual storytelling

 

  * General Topics:

    visual design, cognition, perception, and aesthetics,

    uncertainty, design studies, novel algorithms and mathematics,

    presentation/production/dissemination, collaborative and

    distributed visualization, mobile/ubiquitous visualization,

    visualization systems, problem-solving environments,

    virtual environments, sonification and haptics,

    visualization for the masses

 

  * Evaluation and User Studies:

    task and requirements analysis, metrics and benchmarks,

    qualitative evaluation, quantitative evaluation,

    laboratory studies, field studies, usability studies

 

  * Application Areas of Visualization:

    in the physical sciences, bioinformatics and in life sciences,

    and in engineering, geographic and earth/space/environmental

    visualization, information sciences, software and financial

    visualization, and applications in the humanities,

    social sciences, and education

-+  The EuroVA 2011 program will include one *invited speaker*

 |  from research or industry as well as *short paper presentations*

 |  and *posters* (note the additional opportunity to submit a full

 |  paper to the EuroVis conference, which solicits visual analytics

 |  as one of its main topics).
