[Ieee_vis] Call for Papers: Special Multimedia Issue of Visualization and Visual Analytics in Transportation

[Michael L. Pack]

Call for InfoViz Papers<http://www.journals.elsevier.com/transportation-research-part-c-emerging-technologies/news/visualization-and-visual-analytics-in-transportation/> relevant to the Transportation Domain

Increasingly-mature visualization techniques along with the growing availability and complexity of transportation data present an unprecedented opportunity to tackle a large array of transportation needs. These can include things like: managing traffic with real-time data, facilitating collaboration among decision makers, monitoring and managing system performance, communicating complex concepts to the public, or helping in information discovery.

This special issue of Transportation Research Part C is intended to advance the research, development, use, and understanding of visualization and visual analytics that help contribute to discovery, decision-making, performance management, collaboration, and communication in all aspects of transportation. The scope of this special issue will include, but is not limited to, the following topics:

  *   "Big data" visual analytics
  *   Unique visualizations of "streaming data"
  *   Visualization tools and techniques that mine "high dimensional" data sets
  *   Collaborative visualization for decision making
  *   Visualization of performance measures-especially related to large geographic areas, innovative dashboards, etc.
  *   Analysis of trends and/or predictive "what-if" scenarios in massive data sets
  *   Case-studies that evaluate the benefits of visualization
  *   Public-focused interactive data visualizations
  *   Cluster analysis, pattern recognition, and force-directed graphs

Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools and techniques, as well as general survey papers indicating future directions, are also encouraged.

You are invited to submit a full paper and multimedia files to this special issue of Transportation Research Part C, a prestigious journal in the field.
