*Call for Papers*

Second International Workshop on Visually-Supported Reasoning with
Uncertainty (full-day)

September 23, 2014 at GIScience 2014, Vienna, Austria

http://cognitivegiscience.psu.edu/uncertainty2014/

Paper due: July 15th, 2014


Keynote Speakers:
Alan MacEachren (GeoVISTA Center, The Pennsylvania State University)
Edzer Pebesma (Spatio-Temporal Modelling Laboratory, University of Münster)


Research on uncertainty, its characterization, and its role in reasoning
has a long tradition in the spatial sciences. Opportunities for further
research are provided by: (a) the increasing availability of Open Data and
data mined from non-traditional sources such as social media; (b) advances
in visual analytics. This workshop will discuss and showcase visualization
techniques for supporting analysts, theoreticians, researchers, and
decision-makers to integrate uncertainty into decision-making and
communicating the uncertainty inherent in their findings. Applications span
from climate change assessments, interpreting bushfire models, to spatially
varying cancer risks.

We invite short papers, especially work in progress, related to uncertainty
visualization to be presented and discussed at a workshop on September 23rd,
2014 at GIScience in Vienna, Austria. Topics of interest include:

-  Behavioral assessments of uncertainty visualizations
-  Domain-specific versus universal aspects of uncertainty
-  Bayesian probabilities and statistical reasoning
-  Visualizing multidimensional uncertainties
-  Uncertainty taxonomies
-  Theories of uncertainty visualization
-  Decision-making and reasoning under uncertainty

Active participation (presentations) in the program of the workshop will be
possible for researchers who submit short 3-6 page (less than 2000 words)
paper on current work, relevant and promising in this research area.
Submissions will be reviewed by the organizing committee and chosen based
upon the scope, innovation, and potential to engender wider discussion and
activity at the workshop. Presentations will be kept short (10 min) to
allow for time to focus on discussions. In addition to keynotes and short
presentations, breakout sessions will allow workshop participants to
reflect upon ongoing research and useful directions this research should
attend to. We will have an experiment showcase option in which researchers
can seek for active participation in their behavioral studies.

To participate in this workshop please submit a 3-6 page (formatted in LNCS
style) paper by July 15th, 2014. Please also include a request for seeking
participants for a behavioral study during the workshop. Notification of
acceptance will be emailed by August 1st, 2014.

One or more authors of accepted statements must register for the workshop.


Organizers:
Jennifer S. Mason (Pennsylvania State University)
Susanne Bleisch (University of Melbourne)
Stephanie Deitrick (Arizona State University)
Alexander Klippel (Pennsylvania State University)
Aidan Slingsby (City University London)
