VINCI 2017
The 10th International Symposium on Visual Information Communication  
and Interaction
Bangkok, Thailand, 14-16 August 2017
Poster submission deadline 12 June 2017


vinci-conf.org

============================================================

Visual communication through graphical or sign languages 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 10th
International Symposium on Visual Information Communication and  
Interaction (VINCI'17) will
be held during 14-16 August 2017, in Bangkok, Thailand.
All accepted posters will be published by ACM Press and made available  
in the ACM Digital
Library (EI indexed).
============================================================


1. SCOPES AND TOPICS
We solicit original, unpublished research posters that focus on all  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 metaphor
Visual interaction through multimodality
Visual approaches for knowledge discovery
Computational aesthetics
Visual 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
Applications like SoftVis, BioVis, GeoVis, ...
Sketching
Human-computer interaction


2. POSTER 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. All accepted posters
will appear in the proceedings of VINCI 2017 published by ACM Press  
and made available in the ACM
Digital Library (EI indexed).
Posters are up to two  ACM double-column pages,and should be submitted  
through easychair.org.
