(Apologies for multiple emails) (Please feel free to forward this to colleagues or to other relevant lists) Last call for papers Supporting Asynchronous Collaboration in Visual Analytics Systems, AVI 2012 workshop (21 may 2012) Submission deadline: March 23, 2012 *** Topic *** Visual analytics involves complex analytical processes that can often benefit from collaboration. Many researchers have explored co-located synchronous systems to help support collaborative visual analytics; however, the process can often be long and require a series of sessions. Providing support for asynchronous collaboration in visual analytics systems can help divide the problem between several analysts across many sessions to ensure that they can effectively work together toward a solution. Currently, visual analytics systems offer limited support for asynchronous, multi-session work. In this workshop, we seek to bring together researchers from both the CSCW and Visual Analytics communities to discuss avenues for supporting asynchronous collaboration in visual analytics system. *** Submissions *** We invite authors to submit 2-4 page papers reporting contributions in the areas of collaborative visual analytics, or asynchronous collaboration or 2-page position statements motivating their interest in the workshop topic. Papers should be formatted according to the AVI 2012 (ACM SIG Proceedings) format. The selection of workshop participants and presentations will be based on refereed submissions. Authors of accepted submissions will be invited to give short presentations. We will interweave presentation sessions with longer periods of discussions. Presentations will be grouped by key topics to foster spontaneous discussions. Please send submissions to nath at microsoft.com *** Important dates *** Submission deadline: 23 March 2012 Notification of acceptance: 29 March 2012 Final submission: 2 April 2012 Workshop date: 21 May 2012 *** Organizers *** Nathalie Henry Riche, Microsoft Research, USA Kori Inkpen, Microsoft Research, USA Mary Czerwinski, Microsoft Research, USA John Stasko, Georgia Institute of Technology, USA Tom Gross, University of Bamberg, Germany
