Call for Papers:
WebVis 2000
Second International Workshop on
Web-Based Information Visualization
in conjunction with the
11th International Conference on Database and Expert
Systems Applications
DEXA 2000
Date: September 4 - 8, 2000
Location: Greenwich, United Kingdom
Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer
Society Press
THEME
Information visualization combines aspects of scientific
visualization,
human-computer interaction, data mining, imaging and graphics.
It focuses on information which is often abstract. This means that
many
interesting classes of information have no natural and obvious
physical representation. A key research problem is to discover new
visual metaphors for representing information and to understand
which analytical tasks they support.
The largest information space is perhaps the World Wide Web, which
contains millions of pages. Information visualization in this
domain enables users to get information quickly, put it in a
meaningful
shape, and to make decisions in a relatively short time.
Web-based information visualization describes visualization
applications that use the Web as an information source, a delivery
mechanism for visualization, or both.
The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are working in key technology areas of Information
Visualization in order to discuss recent research findings and
address
complementary research and development issues. Of particular
interest are papers describing different visualization techniques to
make use of the information available in the net or how
Web-techniques can be used to visualize information
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
Web as new medium for visualization
Web-based visualization techniques (e.g. providing interactive
views of environmental data on the WWW)
Typical taxonomies of information visualization (e.g. data,
tasks)
Web-based development tools for visualization (e.g. VRML, Java)
Web-based visualization for data analysis (e.g. structured or
unstructured data)
Visualization examples (e.g. applications):
hierarchical information (e.g. web structures),
networks (Web-based network traffic monitoring tool)
content-based document clustering (e.g. clustering documents
into an information space based on their content)
visualization of Web search results
information space metaphors
visualization techniques for small devices (e.g. cellular
phones, palm tops)
empirical studies
comparative studies of Information Visualization
Applications
DataBase Management and Information Retrieval oriented enabling
technologies supporting Information Visualization on the
Web
Enabling technologies supporting the integration of Web-based
Information Visualization and Web-based Multimedia
Information Visualization supporting Web technologies (e.g. how
information visualization can make the Web easier to use)
Usage and User-Centered Web-based Information Visualization (e.g.
how to make information visualization more useful)
Web-based decision making resources
Data Mining as information technology for clickstream analysis,
navigability measurements
The papers must clearly show how the technical solutions described
contribute to the area of web-based information visualization.

SUBMISSION DETAILS
Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing original,
unpublished work. Submitted papers will be carefully evaluated
based on originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
exposition. All papers will be refereed by at least three members of the
program committee. Accepted papers will be published by IEEE Computer
Society Press as proceedings of the DEXA 2000 workshops. All
submitted papers should not be longer than 10 pages (5000 words). The IEEE
author guidelines will be send to each author after the
acceptance of the paper.
Electronic Submission
ONLY EMAIL SUBMISSIONS of full and abstract papers in Postscript or PDF
format will be accepted.
Please send also an abstract (no more than 250 words in ASCII text) of the
paper via email including title
of the paper, authors' names and 3-4 relevant keywords. The title page must
include the name and email address of the contact author.
