Workshop Topics

In the context of visual exploration and analytics, topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Visualization and exploration techniques for various Big Data types (e.g., stream, spatial, high-dimensional, graph)
  • Human-centered database techniques
  • Indexes and data structures for data visualization
  • Raw data visual exploration and analytics
  • Incremental and adaptive processing
  • Interactive caching and prefetching
  • Scalable visual operations (e.g., zooming, panning, linking, brushing)
  • Big Data visual representation techniques (e.g., aggregation, sampling, multi-level, filtering)
  • Setting-oriented visualization (e.g., display resolution/size, smart phones, pixel-oriented, visualization over networks)
  • User-oriented visualization (e.g., assistance, personalization, recommendation)
  • Visual analytics (e.g., pattern matching, timeseries analytics, prediction analysis, outlier detection, OLAP)
  • Visual and interactive data mining
  • Models of human-in-the-loop data analysis

Additionally, we welcome submission of work-in-progress as short paper of up to 4 pages long. Papers of this type describe an ongoing work that has not yet reached the maturity required for a research paper. Further, we solicit vision papers (up to 4 pages) that describe a vision for the future of the field of visual exploration and analytics. Finally, we accept system papers and demos up to 4 pages long.

    Papers must be original and not submitted or accepted for publication in any other workshop, conference or journal.

    Papers should be submitted electronically as PDF documents and be formatted according to the ACM SIG Proceedings double-column template (www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates).

All workshop papers will be indexed by DBLP and will be published online at CEUR (http://ceur-ws.org).

    Special Issue
