[Infovis] [EuroVA2018] Second CFP: EuroVA 2018 - EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics

[Organizers EuroVA]

 EuroVA 2018 Workshop

http://www.eurova.org

EuroVA 2018 is the ninth international EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics.

It will take place as a *one-day workshop* on Monday, June 4, 2018 in Brno,
Czech Republic.

Visual Analytics is a problem-solving and sense-making technology that
integrates analytical computations, visual representations, and
interaction. It includes the analysis of complex (massive, dynamic,
ambiguous, conflicting, …) data and information for gaining understanding,
building knowledge, and inferring insight. Visual Analytics aims at a
synergistic collaboration of humans and computers mediated through
interactive visual interfaces. As such, Visual Analytics is an
interdisciplinary field of research, including aspects of visualization,
human-computer interaction, statistics and mathematics, data management and
knowledge representation, data analysis and machine learning, cognitive and
perceptual sciences, and more.

EuroVA 2018 is the best place to present and discuss ideas of new methods
and theories, interesting applications, designs, and studies of the use of
Visual Analytics methods and systems. The workshop will accept a range of
paper types, including technique, system, application, evaluation and
theory papers in the area of Visual Analytics.

Keynote Speakers

We are pleased to announce that our distinguished guests Dr. Gennady
Andrienko and Dr. Natalia Andrienko will be giving this year’s EuroVA
keynote. Gennady and Natalia will be talking about “Sports Visual
Analytics“.

Gennady and Natalia are lead scientists responsible for the visual
analytics research at Fraunhofer IAIS and full professors (part-time) at
City University London. They co-authored monographs “Exploratory Analysis
of Spatial and Temporal Data” (Springer, 2006) and “Visual Analytics of
Movement” (Springer, 2013), more than 80 peer-reviewed journal papers, 25
book chapters, and about 100 conference papers.

Call for Submissions

The workshop seeks to attract innovative, fresh and creative ideas with a
high potential of becoming significant contributions to the Visual
Analytics community. We welcome

research papers that introduce new Visual Analytics concepts, methods, or
techniques,
application papers that describe success stories of Visual Analytics in
practice, and
position papers expressing novel and potentially controversial viewpoints
on Visual Analytics.
