</b>2nd International Workshop on User-Adaptive Visualization
Interfaces - <a href="http://reinecke.people.si.umich.edu/wuavi/">WUAVI
2014</a><br>
<a href="http://reinecke.people.si.umich.edu/wuavi/">http://reinecke.people.si.umich.edu/wuavi/</a><br>
held in conjunction with <a href="http://www.um.org/umap2014/">UMAP
2014</a> in Aalborg, Denmark 7-11 July 2014<br>
<br>
--------<br>
Overview<br>
--------<b><br>
</b>This workshop follows up on two previous workshops: <a
href="http://www.cs.ubc.ca/%7Esteichen/WUAV2013/index.html">WUAV
2013</a>, a workshop held during UMAP 2013, that focused on
user-adaptive visualizations, and <a
href="http://people.seas.harvard.edu/%7Ereinecke/manyeyes/">Many
People, Many Eyes</a>, a workshop held at CHI 2013 on the
influences of visual perception on user interface design. This
year’s workshop aims to extend the scope of these two workshops by
looking at how to provide adaptive support that can increase user
performance and satisfaction with other interfaces that have
strong visual components, such as infographics and interactive
websites. We will call these interfaces visualization interfaces,
whereby the term visualization encompass graphical elements such
as illustrations, colorful metaphors, charts and infographics. The
goal of this workshop is to continue to build the foundations for
a new research community specifically focused on this novel and
promising topic of user-adaptive visualization interfaces. It aims
to bring together researchers from the areas of visualization,
UMAP, HCI, accessibility and cognitive/perceptual psychology, in
order to share and discuss multidisciplinary knowledge relating to
research on user-adaptive visualization interfaces. The core
research questions follow those targeted at WUAV 2013, but are
expanded to cover a greater diversity of visualization interfaces:
1) what individual user differences should be considered for
adaptation that can support effective and satisfying visual
processing 2) when is this 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 adaptations.
Given the expanded scope of this year’s workshop, an overarching
new objective will be to begin exploring potential answers to the
above questions with an eye to generalizing across different types
of visualization interfaces. For full details on the workshop
focus, please visit the workshop website at <a

Submissions<br>
-----------<b><br>
</b>We encourage submissions from diverse backgrounds, including
visualization (encompassing InfoVis, SciVis and Visual Analytics),
UMAP, HCI, accessibility, and cognitive/perceptual psychology.
Other specialists who are interested in applications based on
novel visualization interfaces, e.g., web or game designers,
industrial solutions or applications for education and
entertainment, are very welcome to contribute. 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>. For
non-academic submissions, we invite <b>short experience reports
(max. 3 pages)</b> reflecting on the process of developing or
applying visualization interfaces. All submission must adhere to
the <a
href="http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0">Springer
LNCS format</a> and must be made through the <a
href="https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=wuavi2014">WUAVI
2014 EasyConference website</a>. 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 <a href="http://ceur-ws.org/index.html">CEUR
proceedings site</a>. 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 website at <a
