The Conference on Visualization and Data Analysis (VDA) 2012 covers all
research and development and application aspects of data visualization  
and,
more recently, 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 experience every year. We invite you to
participate by submitting your original research as full paper or a  
poster.

Both paper and poster submissions will be peer reviewed. The average  
paper
acceptance rate of recent VDA conferences was about 50%. Papers  
presented at
this conference will be published in a bound proceedings published by
IS&T/SPIE. Papers and posters are solicited on all topics of data
visualization, including:
†* †Internet imaging, medical imaging, image processing
†* †Biomedical visualization and applications
†* †Internet, web, and security visualizations
†* †Analysis techniques and data mining
†* †Data exploration using classical and novel approaches
†* †Databases and visualization
†* †High-performance computing and parallel rendering
†* †Tools and applications exemplified by case studies
†* †Virtual environments and data visualization
†* †Information and scientific visualization
†* †Volume and flow visualization
†* †Interaction paradigms and human factors

Authors of the best papers will be invited to revise and extend their  
work
for publication in a special issue of the journal Information  
Visualization.

Questions regarding paper submission or conference participation  
should be
