INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND WEB ENGINEERING (IJITWE)
SPECIAL ISSUE ON Visualization and Integration on the Web


*SUBMISSION DUE DATE*: August 20, 2011

Aims and Scope
--------------

Recent years witnessed a proliferation of semi-structured, structured, 
and semantically annotated data on the Web: an increasing amount of 
individuals, public organization and enterprises, is currently 
publishing information for free usage. The nature and the abundance of 
such structured data shifts the nature of user interactions, where 
models based on navigation of documents are replaced by paradigms that 
leverage the exploration of object repositories; in such a context, 
providing a satisfactory user experience has proven to be a challenging 
task for application developers. In addition, as the richness and value 
of data also increases, Web applications must provide users with 
visualizations and interaction paradigms that leverage properties such 
as the underlying data relationships, source type, provenance, and 
quality. Contextually, the availability of a wide spectrum of high-level 
data integration tools - such as mash-up platforms – has offered to 
developers (and to end users) several means for the integration of such 
data, enabling novel applications and business scenario. The usage of 
the Web as a common publication, mediation, aggregation, and consumption 
platform decreased the existing gap between Web and enterprise 
applications, which often leverage common data integration methodologies 
and tools. As a consequence, a deeper understanding of data integration, 
visualization and user interaction issues is becoming more and more 
compelling in applications design and development. In order to tackle 
the new challenges provided by a Web of Data, data integration, 
visualization and user interaction methodologies and tools need to be 
revised to effectively manage the design and the interaction application 
with information.

The objective of this special issue is to review recent works that 
address state-of-the-art of analysis and design techniques on how to 
create effective Web applications where the integration, visualization 
and interaction with data is a main concern, as well as the application 
of assessed methods and techniques to existing design and development 
environments.

Topics of Interest
------------------

Topics to be discussed in this special issue include (but are not 
limited to) the following:

* Integration and visualization of heterogeneous data on the Web
* Interfaces for Web-scale and large-scale data repositories search and 
exploration
* Linked Data visualization and exploration
* Taxonomies and ontologies for data visualization
* Lightweight (semantic) metadata or knowledge integration
* Conceptual models for data visualization and exploration
* Data visualization for next-generation mobile devices
* Studies on quality, usability, effectiveness of data visualization 
techniques
* Innovative uses of tag clouds
* Ambient information displays
* Data visualization for large screens and interactive tablets
* Augmented reality and cross-media interfaces
* Visualizations for multimodal interaction
* Tools for Web data visualizations
* Applications: Search, Semantic Web, Social Web and Web 2.0, Adaptive 
and personalized Web applications, SaaS, Business Intelligence, Data 
Warehouse
