CFP: BioVis Meetup @ VIS 2014
Monday, Nov 10th 2014
6:15pm - 7:45pm, Studio A

Building the Biological Visualization Community

This meetup is aimed at past and future participants in the Symposium on
Biological Data Visualization (BioVis, http://www.biovis.net) and everyone
else interested in applications of visualization to biological data. BioVis
brings together researchers from the visualization, bioinformatics, and
biology communities with the purpose of educating, inspiring, and engaging
visualization researchers in problems in biological data visualization as
well as bioinformatics and biology researchers in state-of-the-art
visualization research.

BioVis has been held both at the IEEE VIS conference (2011, 2012, 2013) and
at the ISCB ISMB Conference (2014). We are keen to maintain a presence with
at the VIS conference and this meetup will serve as a focus for researchers
in BioVis to meet up at VIS to discuss ideas for further development of the
Biological Visualization Community, both through in person meetings and a
new web-based community resource (http://www.bivi.co). This event will
allow us to discuss the new resource with the community, encourage people
to contribute and look forward in planning its evolution. The meetup will
also provide an opportunity to plan for future BioVis events including a
planned return to IEEE VIS in future years.



Organizers (on behalf of the BioVis Steering Committee):
