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 -+ Important dates: | 2010, Nov. 26: abstracts due | 2010, Dec. 3: full papers due, then reviewing cycle #1 | 2011, Feb. 11: notifications (after reviewing cycle #1) | 2011, Mar. 4: minor revisions due (for 2nd reviewing) | 2011, Mar. 11: poster submissions due | 2011, Mar. 18: final decisions (after 2nd reviewing) | 2011, Apr. 4: poster notifications | 2011, Apr. 6: camera-ready papers due -+ Symposium chairs: | *Helwig Hauser*, University of Bergen, Norway | *Hanspeter Pfister*, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA, USA | *Jarke van Wijk*, Eindhoven Univ. of Technology, The Netherlands -+ Links and further information: | EuroVis URL: http://www.UiB.no/EuroVis2011/ | Twitter: http://Twitter.com/EuroVis2011/ | EuroVis 2011 is also on Facebook | Or: http://www.EuroVis.org/ | || || Co-located event: EuroVA 2011 || EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics -++---------------------------------------------------------------------- || Workshop in Bergen, Norway; www.EuroVA.org || Date: May 31, 2011, preceding EuroVis || | -+ EuroVA 2011 | (following EuroVAST in 2010) | is the second international *workshop on visual analytics*, | held in Europe. -+ It aims | at promoting and advancing the combination and integration | of methods for interactive visualization and computational | analytics for the purpose of problem solving in a variety | of application domains (engineering, business, public | policy, medicine, security, etc.). -+ EuroVA 2011 is held on *May 31st, 2011, in Bergen, Norway*, | co-located with the annual EuroVis 2011 conference | (www.UiB.no/EuroVis2011). -+ 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). -+ EuroVA web page: www.EuroVA.org | Short paper *submission deadline for EuroVA: Feb. 18th, 2011* | (short papers are up to a maximum of 4 pages in length) -+ Workshop chairs: | *Silvia Miksch*, Vienna University of Technology, Austria | *Giuseppe Santucci*, Sapienza, University of Rome, Italy
