The size of the collected information about the Web and mobile device users is even greater. The ability to make sense and maximize utilization of such vast amounts of data for knowledge discovery and decision-making is crucial to scientific advancement, business success, clinical treatments, cyber and national security, and disaster management. To provide this ability, we need new tools beyond conventional data mining and statistical analysis. Visualization is one such tool and shown to be effective for gleaning insight in big data. However, it is important that this crucial technology will properly address the challenges and match the needs of the users. This workshop, collocated with the first IEEE International Conference on Big Data (<a href="http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2013/" style="color: blue; text-decoration: underline; ">http://www.ischool.drexel.edu/bigdata/bigdata2013/</a>), will bring big data producers and users together with visualization researchers and practitioners, and foster greater exchange between them. Attendees will be introduced to the latest and greatest research innovations in big data visualization, and also learn how these innovations may impact decision making and knowledge discovery in real-world applications.The Workshop will consist of both invited and contributed talks, along with a panel discussion session. We solicit papers on both original research and practice of big data visualization and analysis.
