Call for Papers

(Apologies for receiving multiple copies)

IEEE PacificVis 2014
Yokohama, Japan, March 4 to 7, 2014
Paper submission deadline: 	September 2, 2013, 11:59pm (PDT)

-----------------------------------------------

PacificVis 2014 is the 7th IEEE sponsored international
visualization symposium in the Asia-Pacific region, with the
objective to foster greater exchange between visualization
researchers and practitioners, and to draw more researchers
in the Asia-Pacific region to enter this rapidly growing
area of research. Past PacificVis symposia were held in
Kyoto, Japan (2008), Beijing, China (2009), Taipei, Taiwan
(2010), Hong Kong, China (2011), Songdo, Korea (2012), and
Sydney, Australia (2013), and all were sponsored by IEEE
VGTC. This time, PacificVis will be back to Japan again and
held in Yokohama from March 4 to 7, 2014.

From this year 2014, we start a two-stage review process for
the symposium formally, to guarantee the publication of
high-quality papers. This will allow us to invite an
increased number of accepted paper authors to submit a
revised version to the journal IEEE TVCG. The papers should
be original and not previously published. Papers will be
refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit
and relevance to the symposium topics.
