Visualization and Data Analysis (VDA) 2016 covers all research, development,
and application aspects of data visualization and visual analytics. Since the
first VDA conference was held in 1994, the annual event has grown steadily into
a major venue for visualization researchers and practitioners from around the
world to present their work and share their experiences. We invite you to
participate by submitting your original research as a full paper or a poster
paper and attending VDA 2016 in Hilton Union Square, San Francisco, CA.</span><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif""></span></p>
