[Ieee_vis] CityVis - Call for Participation IEEE Vis workshop on Urban Data Visualization, IEEE Vis 2023

[Lyn Bartram]

Visualization as a tool for analysis, exploration and communication has become a driving force in the task of unravelling the complex urban fabrics that form our cities. Yet, there is a crucial need to bridge the gap between the flood of urban data and the capacity of decision makers to integrate that data into effective and informed decisions. Over the past several years, CityVis workshops have explored the issues and the challenges of urban data, proposing an initial framework<https://www.cityvis.io/about#human-centric> for such perspectives or rather design considerations, which should inspire, but not limit, future submissions (Goodwin et al, 2021<https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/9438762/>)..  This year we seek participation that addresses how data and data visualization can be used to serve and better understand or even organize urban processes, focusing on an explicitly “human-centric” perspective.

CityVis 2023 theme : Urban Data Governance
Urban systems such as healthcare, transportation, culture, housing, and energy, are undergoing digital transformations and generating vast quantities of data. This has necessitated the emergence of data governance frameworks. Data governance determines (1) the actors that make decisions regarding the conception, use, dissemination, processing, and sharing of data, (2) how these decisions are made, and (3) corresponding accountability mechanisms. It significantly influences the production, usage, and distribution of data, which in turn impact urban data visualisation.
Against this backdrop, CityVis 5 delves into the interplay between data governance and urban visualisation. It aims to convene researchers and practitioners from various disciplines to navigate the intricacies of data governance in an urban visualisation context. The workshop will tackle a range of topics, including (but not limited to):

  *   The effects of key data governance concepts (e.g., privacy, anonymity, data sovereignty, participation, empowerment and engagement) on urban visualisation practices
  *   The role of data visualisation in supporting data governance processes, structures, and stakeholder engagement in cities
  *   Real-world case studies illustrating applied data governance practices and the challenges encountered by urban visualisation professionals and adjacent disciplines
  *   The intersection of data governance and urban visualisation within different contexts (e.g. various legal frameworks)
Submissions
We invite researchers and practitioners to submit abstracts on case studies in the domain of urban visualization, in particular focusing on the theme “Data Governance” and relating to the topics mentioned above .
Abstracts must consist of no more than 5,000 characters (approx 2 pages). Please use the IEEE VIS submission guidelines<https://ieeevis.org/year/2023/info/call-participation/paper-submission-guidelines> for structuring your abstract.
The submitted abstracts will undergo a double-blind peer review through the program committee. All accepted abstracts will be published on the workshop website (open access).
Please submit your abstract<https://new.precisionconference.com/user/login?society=vgtc> through the IEEE VIS submission system.
Participation in the workshop is in-person.
Timeline

  *   15th June Deadline for structured abstracts
  *   15th July Notification of acceptance
  *   15th August Camera-Ready Deadline
  *   22nd or 23rd October Workshop
