<br>
held in conjunction with UMAP 2013, in Rome, Italy <br>
<br>
--------<br>
Overview<br>
--------<b><br>
</b>Recent advances in visualization research have shown that
individual user needs, abilities, and preferences can have a
significant impact on visualization effectiveness. It is therefore
important to investigate visualization techniques that support
each user by adapting to such individual differences, both in
terms of stable (long-term) user traits (e.g. perceptual speed,
personality), as well as transitory (short-term) states (e.g.
attention, current task, evolving expertise). To this end, we
invite participation in the 1st International Workshop on
User-Adaptive Visualization, held in conjunction with <a
href="http://www.dia.uniroma3.it/%7Eumap2013/">UMAP 2013</a>.
The goal of this workshop is to build the foundations for a new
research community specifically focused on this novel and
promising topic of user-adaptive visualizations. In particular, it
aims to bring together researchers from the areas of visualization
(including InfoVis, SciVis and Visual Analytics), UMAP, HCI, and
cognitive/perceptual psychology, in order to share and discuss
multidisciplinary knowledge relating to user-adaptive
visualization research. <br>
This full-day workshop will focus on the following four questions:
1) what individual user differences should be considered for
adaptation, 2) when is adaptive support appropriate and/or
necessary, 3) how to adapt, i.e. what techniques to use and at
what level of intrusiveness, and 4) how to evaluate. For full
details on the workshop focus, please visit the workshop website

Submissions<br>
-----------<b><br>
</b>We encourage submissions from diverse backgrounds, including
visualization (encompassing InfoVis, SciVis and Visual Analytics),
UMAP, HCI, and cognitive/perceptual psychology. We invite papers
describing more developed ideas and methods, submitted via <b>long
papers (max. 6 pages)</b>, as well as novel work-in-progress,
submitted via <b>short papers (max. 3 pages)</b>. Both long and
short papers may have an unlimited number of extra pages devoted
solely to references. In accordance with standard UMAP procedure,
there is no need to anonymize submissions. Papers will be selected
based on originality, quality, and ability to promote discussion.
Accepted papers will be included in the workshop proceedings and
published on the CEUR proceedings site. At least one author of
each accepted paper must attend the workshop. For full details on
the submission format and procedure, please visit the workshop
