Subject: ACM TiiS special issue on Interactive Computational Visual Analytics

Special Issue of the ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems on
INTERACTIVE COMPUTATIONAL VISUAL ANALYTICS

Main submission deadline: May 31st, 2012

http://tiis.acm.org/special-issues.html

AIMS AND SCOPE

Visual analytics is defined as "the science of analytical reasoning
facilitated by visual interactive interfaces." Since its inception in
2006, the field has grown to encompass a wide array of topics relating
to the theory, design, and development of interactive visual
interfaces for the purposes of data exploration, data analysis, sense
making, and decision making.

While the scope of visual analytics is broad, one principle that has
emerged over the years is the need for visual analytics systems to
leverage computational methods in data mining, knowledge discovery,
and machine learning for large-scale data analysis. In these systems,
the human operator works alongside the computational processes in an
integrated fashion - the computer can sift through large amounts of
data and identify the relevant information, while the human
interactively explores the reduced data space to discover trends and
patterns and make informed decisions. The two components operate in
coordination, allowing for a continuous and cooperative analytical
loop.

This special issue will publish papers that address how computational
methods can be integrated into interactive visualization systems from
a variety of perspectives. The dimensions listed below indicate the
range of work that is relevant to the special issue. In case of doubt
about the relevance of your topic, please contact the guest editors.

ABOUT ACM TiiS

TiiS (pronounced "T double-eye S") is a recently founded ACM journal
for research about intelligent systems that people interact with.  The
journal's procedures and infrastructure have been designed to combine
the traditional quality and depth of ACM journals with the efficiency
and predictability of the best-run conferences.
