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.
