CALL FOR PAPERS - EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE
============================================

The 11th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and
Interaction (VINCI 2018)
(vinci-conf.org)

Växjö, Sweden, August 13-15, 2018

** Paper submission deadline (EXTENDED): May 04, 2018 (23:59 in AoE) **

A selection of best papers will be invited to a special issue
published by the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing (JVLC)
=======================================================

Visual communication through graphics or text has long been conducted
among human beings of different backgrounds or cultures, and in recent
decades between human and machine. In today's digital world, visual
information is typically encoded with various metaphors commonly used in
daily life to facilitate rapid comprehension and easy analysis during
the communication process. Visual information communication generally
encompasses information visualization, graphical user-interfaces, visual
analytics, and visual languages. Visual information is increasingly
being used to facilitate human-human communication through the Internet
and mobile devices.

The Symposium on Visual Information Communication and Interaction
(VINCI) (vinci-conf.org) is the premier international forum for
researchers and industrial practitioners to discuss the state-of-the-art
in visual communication theories, designs, and applications. The 11th
International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and
Interaction (VINCI '18) will be held on 13-15 August 2018, in Växjö, Sweden.

Papers can be submitted as full papers, short papers or posters. All
accepted papers will be published by ACM Press and made available in the
ACM Digital Library (EI indexed). Authors of selected full papers of
high quality will be invited to submit revised versions of their works
to a special issue of the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing
(SCI-indexed).
In addition, revised versions of selected best papers in art and design will
be invited for subsequent publication in a special issue of Leonardo
(MIT Press,
AHCI indexed).

1. SCOPES AND TOPICS
====================

We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on all
aspects of visual information communication and interaction, either via
images, computer graphics, animations, virtual reality, web, or other
media. Research papers may address cognitive and design aspects,
underlying theories, taxonomies, implementation work, tool support, and
case studies. Topics of interest include but are not limited to the
following:

= Cognitive aspects of visual information comprehension
= Empirical studies of novel visual metaphors
= Visual interaction through multimodality
= Visual approaches for knowledge discovery
= Computational aesthetics
= Visual and immersive analytics
= Graph drawing and (multivariate) network visualization
= Information visualization
= Graphical user interface design
= Aesthetics in visual communication
= Influence of visual arts and design
= Visual modeling languages and UML
= Visual communication metaphors
= Visual programming languages
= Visualization on mobile devices
= Visualization in virtual, mixed, and augmented reality
= Applications like SoftVis, BioVis, GeoVis, ...
= Sketching
= Human-computer interaction

2. PAPER SUBMISSION
===================

Submissions that address research and development, as well as experience
reports and tool demonstrations on the above and other related topics
are strongly encouraged. Papers can be submitted as full papers, short
papers or posters. Each submitted symposium paper will be peer-reviewed
by at least three International Program Committee members. All accepted
papers and posters will appear in the proceedings of VINCI2018 published
by ACM Press and made available in the ACM Digital Library (EI indexed).
Moreover, authors of a number of selected full papers of high quality
will be invited to prepare revised versions of their work for submission
to a special issue of JVLC (SCI-indexed). In addition, it is planned
that revised versions of selected best papers in art and design will be
invited for the subsequent publication in a special issue of Leonardo
(MIT Press; AHCI indexed).

Research papers and experience reports of up to eight (8), short papers
of up to four (4), and tool demonstrations or posters of up to two (2)
ACM double-column pages should be submitted through
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vinci2018. Detailed information
on the electronic submission can be found on the conference web page.
