BELIV’06 - AVI 2006 Workshop

BEyond time and errors: novel evaLuation methods for Information
Visualization
Held in conjunction with *AVI Advanced Visual Interfaces* International
Working Conference
May, 23 2006 - Venice, ITALY
WORKSHOP WEBSITE
http://www.dis.uniroma1.it/~beliv06
DESCRIPTION
Controlled experiments remain the workhorse of evaluation but there is a
growing sense that information visualization systems need new methods of
evaluation, from longitudinal field studies, insight based evaluation
and other metrics adapted to the perceptual aspects of visualization as
well as the exploratory nature of discovery. We solicit position and
research papers discussing proposed new information visualization
evaluation methods e.g. new ways of conducting user studies, definition
and assessment of infovis effectiveness through the formal
characterization of perceptual and cognitive tasks and insights,
definition of quality criteria and metrics. Case study and survey papers
are also welcomed when clearly presenting general guidelines, practical
advices, and lessons learned.
