Dear colleagues,
For the forthcoming workshop
GeoVA(T): GeoSpatial Visual Analytics: Focus on Time
we are pleased to announce the keynote talk
Title:
Space and Time: Research Opportunities in Two Critical
Foundations of Visual Analytics
by
Jim Thomas
AAAS, PNNL Fellow
Senior Science Advisor National Visualization and Analytics Center,
Pacific Northwest National Laboratory
President and CEO DiscoverVisualAnalytics LLC
Short Bio
Jim Thomas is American Association for the Advancement of Science
(AAAS) Fellow and Laboratory Fellow at Pacific Northwest National
Laboratory with over 35 years of experience. He is founder and past
Director of a Department of Homeland Security National Visualization
and Analytics Center and the science of visual analytics. He is
considered the father for visual analytics and specializes in the
research, design, and implementation of innovative information and
analytic visualization, multimedia, and human computer interaction
technology; however, he has a broad working knowledge of information
technology. Some of the recent technologies developed have set a new
stage for the visualization of masses of multimedia information
sources with several publications, patents, digital media with recent
publications being widely referenced and re-printed. He received the
Christopher Columbus award for science innovation supporting homeland
security in the US Capital Oct 13, 2009. Jim has led teams in text,
numerical, image and video, temporal and geospatial analysis for
massive information spaces. He has received several international
science awards including "Top 100 Scientific Innovators" (Science
Digest) and twice the Research and Development's Industrial Research
100 Significant Scientific and Industry Accomplishments "Top 100
Innovators in Science and Industry". In addition, twice he was awarded
the Federal Laboratories Consortium Technology Transfer Award for
innovation in transferring research technology to industry and
universities.
Best regards,
Gennady, on behalf of the workshop organizers
P.S. The deadline for submitting extended abstracts (up to 4-pages
PDF, IEEE VisWeek style) is January 28, 2010

GeoVA(T): GeoSpatial Visual Analytics: Focus on Time
http://geoanalytics.net/GeoVA(t)2010
Workshop at AGILE http://agile2010.dsi.uminho.pt/ , 11 May 2010,
and
special issue of
IJGIS - Int J GIScience
http://www.tandf.co.uk/journals/tf/13658816.html
tentative publication date: September 2010
The workshop is a follow-up of the successful workshops on
- Visualization, Analytics and Spatial Decision Support at the
GIScience’2006 conference,
- Geovisualization of Dynamics, Movement and Change at AGILE'2008,
- GeoSpatial Visual Analytics at GIScience'2008.
Selected papers from the previous workshops, including research agenda
papers, were published as special issues of
- IJGIS, 2007, v.21(8), 2007
- Information Visualization, 2008, v.7 (3/4)
- CaGIS, 2009, v.36 (3)
The theme for the workshop and this special issue of International
Journal of Geographical Information Science is the use of GeoVisual
Analytics approaches for exploring and analysing large data sets with
both spatial and temporal components. Original papers are solicited in
this area. In particular, we encourage innovative papers detailing
tight integration of visualization, data mining, database processing,
optimization and other computational processing methods.
The workshop will provide participants with the possibility to present
ongoing and developing work without committing to a full journal paper.
The journal special issue will provide participants with the
opportunity of reporting their work in a refereed journal.
Example topics include, but are not limited to, the visualization and
interactive analysis of large data sets representing:
- individual and group movement behaviours, either in physical or
virtual spaces
- dynamics of geo-localised sensor data
- spatio-temporal events
- remotely sensed data, multi-scale and multi-temporal
- large high-dimensional data sets in space and time
- streams of spatio-temporal data
as well as
- models and semantics of time in geospatial visual analytics
- knowledge construction and reasoning about spatial and temporal
phenomena and processes
- application of innovative visual analytics methods to real-life problems
