The goal of the symposium is to promote and advance the combination and integration of visualization and analytics methods for the purpose of problem solving in a variety of application domains (engineering, business, public policy, medicine, security, etc). EuroVAST will be held on June 8, 2010 in Bordeaux, France, co-located with the annual EuroVis 2010 Conference. The EuroVAST program will feature a number of invited speakers from research and industry as well as a poster program. Full papers should be submitted to the EuroVis conference, which solicits visual analytics as one of the core paper topics. EuroVAST is sponsored by the European Coordination Action "VisMaster: Visual Analytics - Mastering the Information Age" in cooperation with Eurographics.
