VINCI'11 - 2011 Visual Information Communication - International Symposium

Hong Kong University of Science and Technology
4 - 5 August 2011

--------------
Scopes and Topics

Visual communication through graphical or sign languages has long been
conducted among human beings of different backgrounds or cultures, and
in recent decades between human and machine. In today's digital world,
visual information is typically encoded with various metaphors commonly
used in daily life to facilitate rapid comprehension and easy analysis
during the communication process. Visual information communication
generally encompasses information visualization, graphical
user-interfaces, visual analytics, and visual languages. It has been
successfully employed in knowledge discovery, end-user programming,
modeling, rapid systems prototyping, education, and design activities by
people of many disciplines including architects, artists, children,
engineers, and scientists. In addition, visual information is
increasingly being used to facilitate human-human communication through
the Internet and Web technology, and electronic mobile devices.

The 2011 Visual Information Communication - International Symposium
(VINCI'11) provides an international forum for researchers and
industrial practitioners to discuss the state of the art in visual
communication theories, designs, and applications. VINCI'11 will be held
in Hong Kong. We solicit high quality research papers which involve
original research as well as system development experiences. Accepted
papers will be published by the ACM Press and be included in ACM Digital
Library. Authors of selected papers will be invited to submit a revised
and expanded version of their papers to be considered for publication in
the International Journal of Advanced Intelligence and International
Journal of Software and Informatics.

Topics of particular interests include the following tracks, but are not
limited to:

    * Visual Analytics
    * Information visualization
    * Aesthetics in visual communication
    * Cognitive aspects of visual information comprehension
    * Graph drawing and visualization
    * Graphical user interface design
    * Digital media and visual arts
    * Software visualization
    * Usability or empirical study of new visual metaphors
    * Visual approaches to knowledge discovery
    * Visual communication metaphors
    * Visual interaction through multi-modality
    * Visual modeling languages and UML
    * Visual programming languages
    * Visualization on mobile devices

Paper Submission and Publication

Submissions that address research and development on the above and other
related topics are strongly encouraged. All the submitted papers will be
reviewed by the international Program Committee members.
