OBJECTIVES AND TOPICS

The 8th International Working Conference on Advanced Visual
Interfaces (AVI 2006) will be held in Venice, Italy, May 23-26, 2006.
Started in 1992 in Rome, and held every two years in different
Italian towns, the Conference traditionally brings together experts
in different areas of computer science who have a common interest in
the conception, design and implementation of
visual and, more generally, perceptual interfaces, with a growing
interest for mobile devices such as smartphones, palmtops and PDAs,
in the framework of traditional and emerging environments, such as
ubiquitous and pervasive computer applications.
A special theme of this edition, suggested by the beautiful town
hosting the conference, is the design of advanced interfaces for art,
cultural heritage and tourism.

Topics:

    * Visual Interface Design
    * Visual Interaction
    * Information Visualization
    * Graph Layout
    * Visual Databases
    * Visual Querying
    * Visual Data Mining
    * Adaptive Interfaces
    * Animated Interfaces
    * Web Interfaces
    * Interface Metaphors
    * Multimodal Interfaces
    * Perceptual Interfaces
    * Virtual Reality
    * Interface Evaluation
    * Cognitive Models of the User
    * End-User Development
    * Controlled Studies and Usability Testing
    * Computer Supported Cooperative Work
