CALL FOR PANELS

http://ieeevis.org/year/2014/info/call-participation/panels

IEEE VIS 2014 Panels should address important and/or controversial
applications and issues in scientific and information visualization and
visual analytics today. In particular, we invite topics in connection with
interesting application fields. Panels including potential users of
visualization technology (e.g. practitioners and industry professionals) or
panels consisting of experts in fields that might teach us important
concepts (e.g. perceptual psychology, visual design, color theory,
user-interface design) would also be welcome. Panelists should be experts
in their fields who can discuss the challenges of visualization, and engage
the audience and fellow panel members in a stimulating, interactive debate.

Panel proposals should describe the topic to be addressed and identify the
prospective panelists. Each panelist should include a position statement on
the topic and a short biography, the total of which should be limited to
500 words for each panelist, up to a maximum of four pages for the whole
panel.

Panels are scheduled for the duration of an entire paper session; panel
proposals should thus target one hour and 40 minutes total duration,
including question and discussion periods. We strongly recommend that in
order to keep to time, the chair of the panel is not one of the panel
 speakers.

Panel organizers should also submit a short description of the panel format
and schedule (max. 1 page). This should be in a separate document from the
proposal itself, and should describe the order of topics to be discussed,
time to be spent on panelist presentations, and mechanisms for encouraging
audience participation. Based on audience feedback, the duration of
panelist presentations should allow ample time for intra-panel discussion
and discussions between the panel and the audience.

We also note that submitting similar topics to multiple venues (e.g. panels
and workshops) is likely to result in at most one accepted proposal so that
a broad range of topics can be presented at the conference.
