[Infovis] [EuroVA2019] CFP: EuroVA 2019 - EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics in Porto, Portogal

[Organizers EuroVA]

Dear colleagues,

Please find below the call for papers for EuroVA 2019 - EuroVis Workshop on
Visual Analytics. We are celebrating the 10th anniversary of EuroVA!! The
deadline is less than a month away, and we highlight that this year
selected EuroVA papers will be invited to extend their work for a special
issue of ACM Transactions on Interactive Intelligent Systems (ACM TiiS)
following the event.
EuroVA 2019 Workshop

http://www.eurova.org

EuroVA 2019 is the tenth international EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics.

It will take place on Monday, June 3, 2019 in Porto, Portugal and is
co-located with EuroVis 2019 (https://www.eurovis.org).

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,
uncertain, …) 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 2019 is the premier workshop to present and discuss fresh ideas on
new methods and theories, novel applications, designs, and studies on the
use of Visual Analytics methods and systems. The workshop will accept a
wide range of contributions within the broad area of Visual Analytics,
including novel techniques, systems, applications, evaluation studies and
methods, and theoretical foundations, as well as fresh viewpoints on future
challenges and critical reflections.


Proceedings will be published in EG Digital Library. As a new development
this year, selected papers will be invited to submit an extended paper to a
special issue of ACM TiiS.
Call for Submissions

EuroVA, a premiere workshop on Visual Analytics, is celebrating its 10th
anniversary!

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 a wide range of contributions within the broad area of Visual
Analytics, including research papers presenting novel techniques or
systems, evaluation studies and methods, and theoretical foundations,
application
papers, that describe success stories of Visual Analytics in practice, as
well as fresh position papers expressing novel and potentially
controversial viewpoints on Visual Analytics.
Topics

The workshop covers a broad range of topics in the area of Visual Analytics
including, but not limited to:

   -

   User aspects in Visual Analytics
   -

   Scalable Visual Analytics
   -

   Visual Analytics for machine learning & machine learning for Visual
   Analytics
   -

   Decision making through Visual Analytics
   -

   Visual Analytics of streaming data
   -

   Uncertainty-aware Visual Analytics
   -

   Visual Analytics in Data Science
   -

   Interaction techniques and novel data representations for data analysis
   -

   Visual analysis of analytical processes and provenance
   -

   Infrastructures, systems, frameworks, and architectures for Visual
   Analytics
   -

   Data management, data provenance, and data uncertainty
   -

   Evaluation of Visual Analytics
   -

   Methodologic and theoretical foundations of Visual Analytics
   -

   Machine Learning
   -

   Consideration of human factors in making decisions with Machine Learning
   algorithms
   -

   Facilitating Algorithmic Transparency and Accountability through Visual
   Analytics
   -

   Novel forms of representation and interaction for supporting non-experts
   in interpreting complex algorithmic results
   -

   Visual analytics for interactive, informed model building
   -

   Uncertainty-aware visual analytics for the consideration of inherent
   uncertainty in data and algorithms
