---------------------------------------------------------------------------

The International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and 
Interaction (VINCI) 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 15th 
International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and 
Interaction (VINCI '22) will be held during 16–18 August 2022, in Chur, 
Switzerland.

*** SCOPE & 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We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on all 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 
visual media. Research papers should 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:

- Visual communication metaphors
- Cognitive aspects of visual information comprehension
- Empirical studies of novel visual metaphors
- Visualization on artificial intelligence, machine learning and other 
fields
- Explainable artificial intelligence
- Aesthetics in visual communication and computational aesthetics
- Influence of visual arts and design to visual communication
- Information visualization and visual analytics
- Visual approaches to knowledge discovery
- Visual interaction through multimodality
- Visualization on mobile devices
- Graph drawing and network visualization
- Visual modeling languages
- Visual programming languages
- Graphical user interface design
- Human-computer interaction
- Applications in SoftVis, BioVis, GeoVis, etc.

*** SUBMISSION DEADLINES ***

Full Papers:           May 6, 2022 (extended!)
Short Papers:          May 6, 2022 (extended!)
Posters:               June 15, 2022
Workshop Proposals:    May 6, 2022 (extended!)
Workshop Submissions:  June 15, 2022

*** SUBMISSION GUIDELINES ***

Submissions that address research and development, and experience 
reports on the above topics are strongly encouraged. Papers can be 
submitted as full papers, short papers, and posters. Each submitted 
symposium paper will be peer-reviewed by at least three International 
Program Committee members. You are welcome to submit a paper to VINCI 
2022. All accepted papers and posters will appear in the proceedings of 
VINCI 2022 published by ACM ICPS 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 the Journal of 
Visualization (SCI indexed) and a special issue of the Journal of Visual 
Computing for Industry, Biomedicine, and Art.

All paper submissions should be made through the EasyChair 
(easychair.org) conference management system. The review process will be 
double-blind, thus submitting an anonymized version of your manuscript 
by removing all author and affiliation information from submissions and 
supplemental files as well as substitute your paper's ID number for the 
author name.

All submissions must be written in English and formatted according to 
the ACM Proceedings Template
http://www.acm.org/publications/proceedings-template
(using sigconf format/template double-column style)
and should consist of a single PDF file.

Please note: the authors of accepted papers will be later requested to 
submit source Latex or Word files during camera-ready version 
submission. We appreciate the submission of videos or other supplemental 
material. Please provide supplemental videos in MPEG-4, and use PNG for 
supplemental images, both in sufficient resolution.

In case of any questions related to the submission process or conference 
program, please contact the program chairs via vinci2022 at easychair.org.

*** PAPER TYPES ***

Research Papers: A research paper describes a new algorithm, technique, 
system, or theory that have not previously appeared in the literature, 
or that significantly extended. The description provided in the paper 
should be complete enough that a competent/qualified graduate student in 
visualization could implement or apply the work and should provide an 
formal/informal evaluation and discussion regarding its strengths and 
weaknesses.

Experience Papers: An Experience paper reports on experience made during 
the applications of existing algorithms, techniques, systems, or 
theories as possibly alternative approaches to already researched 
problems in visual communication and interaction. This includes a 
description of a problem domain, data sets, the questions to be 
addressed, and describes the application to the task.

Tooling/Demonstration Papers: Papers in this category, apply existing 
and well known algorithms, techniques, or systems for visual 
communication and interaction in new application fields/domains or 
demonstrate specific technical aspects as well as customized software 
solutions. Submissions should address what will be learned from the 
demonstration.

*** WORKSHOP PROPOSALS ****

VINCI '22 is also soliciting proposals for full-day or half-day 
workshops and tutorials on topics that address areas of interest to the 
community. In particular, workshop proposals should include:

- A title and brief description of the specific issues that the workshop 
will address, the reasons why the workshop is of interest to VINCI, and 
the main research areas involved.
- Contact information of the workshop chairs, their competence in the 
proposed topic(s) and previous experience in chairing scientific events.
- A tentative list of program committee members.
- Intended length (half or full day) and a draft of the Call for Papers.
- It is expected that the workshop organizers will setup an own workshop 
web page as soon as the workshop proposal has been accepted.

Tutorials usually attract a broad range of audiences, including 
professionals, researchers, students, or practitioners, who wish to 
enhance their knowledge in the specific tutorial topic. Tutorials offer 
a unique opportunity to disseminate in-depth information on specific 
topics in visual information communication and interaction. Tutorial 
proposals should include short biographies of the proposers, a draft of 
the tutorial content, intended length, and evidence of the possibility 
of attracting audience to the tutorial.
