           IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization 2004

                        Call for Participation

Introduction

We solicit papers, posters, and contest entries for InfoVis
2004, the
tenth annual IEEE Symposium on Information Visualization.
InfoVis is
the primary meeting in the field of information
visualization, and is
held in conjunction with the IEEE Visualization 2004 (Vis04)
conference in Austin, Texas.

Computer-based information visualization, or "infovis",
centers around
helping people explore or explain data through systems that
include
static or interactive visual representation. The central
design
challenge in infovis is designing a cognitively useful
spatial mapping
of a dataset that is not inherently spatial. There are many
possible
visual encodings, only a fraction of which are helpful for a
given
task. We draw on the intellectual history of several
traditions,
including computer graphics, human-computer interaction,
cognitive
psychology, semiotics, graphic design, statistical graphics,
cartography, and art. The synthesis of relevant ideas from
these
fields is critical for keeping pace with the torrents of data
that
confront us all.

We encourage submissions of papers (9 Apr 2004 deadline),
interactive
posters (21 June 2004 deadline), and InfoVis contest entries
(21 June
2004 deadline). There will also be a special non-peer-reviewed
InfoVisFun track for playful entries relating to our 10-year
anniversary.

Papers
due Fri 9 April 2004 5:00pm PST

Papers can be up to a maximum of eight (8) pages in length,
including
full-color figures throughout. We encourage the use of
digital video
to support the submission, particularly if part or all of the
work
covers interactive techniques. At least one author of an
accepted
paper must attend the conference to present the work, and
authors will
also be required to present a very brief one-minute summary
of their
talk at the opening papers preview session on Sunday October
10.

For details on format and electronic submission of papers and
optional
accompanying digital video, see the InfoVis 04 Submission
Instructions:
 http://www.infovis.org/infovis2004/submit.shtml#papers


For more information on paper categories (technique, system,
design
study, evaluation, and model) and the review process, see the
InfoVis
04 Author Guide:
 http://www.infovis.org/infovis2004/guide.shtml#papers


--------------------
Interactive Posters
due 21 June 2004 5:00pm PST

Interactive Posters are submitted as a two (2) page summary
of the
work. In addition to the traditional physical poster at the
session,
authors are encouraged to present demonstrations of
interactive
systems, either live on a laptop or through video. We
encourage both
submissions of original unpublished work, and submissions
showcasing
systems of interest to the information visualization
community that
have been presented in other venues. Accepted poster
summaries will be
included electronically on the IEEE Visualization 2004
Conference DVD,
placed on the official infovis.org web site, and also
distributed in a
hardcopy compendium to all symposium and conference attendees.

At least one author of an accepted poster must attend the
conference
to present the work at an evening poster session on Monday
October 11,
and authors will also be required to present a very brief one-
minute
summary of their work at a posters preview session earlier in
the day.

For details on format and electronic submission of posters and
optional accompanying digital video, see the InfoVis 04
Submission
Instructions:
http://www.infovis.org/infovis2004/submit.shtml#posters

--------------------
Contest
due 21 June 2004 5:00pm PST

The contest participation category was introduced in 2003.
The goal of
the contest is to promote the development of benchmarks for
information visualization, establish a forum to promote
evaluation
methods, and create an interesting event at the conference.

To celebrate the 10th anniversary of the conference, we are
inviting
the submissions of case studies of the use of information
visualization for understanding the history of the field. The
dataset
consists of metadata about the InfoVis conference
publications and
their references, and the task specifications provide a
common ground
that authors should use to present the merits of their chosen
approaches.

Contest entries are submitted as a two (2) page summary, a
video and
accompanying materials. All accepted entry materials will be
made
available online after the conference. At least one author of
an
accepted entry must attend the conference to present the
work. Authors
of first place entries will receive a prize and present their
work
during the main contest session. Authors of second place
entries will
present their work during the poster session, and also
through a brief
summary of their work as a preview in the main contest
session.
Duplicate submissions should *not* be made to both the poster
and
contest categories.

InfoVisFun

In honor of the 10-year anniversary of the InfoVis symposium,
there
will be a special submission category called InfoVisFun.
Submissions
to this category can be anything ranging from pictures,
posters,
videos, art, and short papers as long as they have something
to do
with InfoVis and its 10 year history. The evaluation process
will
assess the fun (and/or art) value of the submissions and will
decide
how the submissions are used during the InfoVis conference.
This
category is completely separate from the usual peer-reviewed
tracks of
papers, posters, and contest.

For more InfoVisFun information, see
http://www.infovis.org/infovis2004/fun.html
