[Ieee_vis] "Toward Visualization-Specific Heuristic Evaluation" Workshop - June 10 2014 - Eurovis 2014 co-located event

[Borgo R.]

Dear Colleagues,



we would like to draw your attention to the following event happening during the Eurovis 2014 Conference in Swansea.



CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

A "Toward Visualization-Specific Heuristic Evaluation" workshop will be conducted on Tuesday, June 10th from 9 AM to 12:30 PM in conjunction with the 2014 Eurographics Conference on Visualization (EuroVis 2014) in Swansea, Wales.  After a short introduction on the state of visualization-specific heuristic evaluation activities and a presentation on a newly-proposed 'Human Cognition Framework for Information Visualization', participants will collaborate to develop consensus on a framework and detailed guidelines for visualization-specific heuristics.  Developing this consensus is an important step in furthering the progress of heuristic evaluation from a general usability approach and into a form more useful for the specifics of the visualization domain.



For more details on the workshop, please see the description and link from the 'Co-Located Events' tab from the main conference website  (http://eurovis.swansea.ac.uk/) or the Workshop website http://myweb.unomaha.edu/~atarrell/ .

Participation in the workshop is free but it would help the organizers if you could pre-register.



IMPORTANT: Remote online participation in this workshop will be available for those unable to attend EuroVis 2014.  More details will be forthcoming, but if you are interested in this remote participation option please email Alvin Tarrell at atarrell at unomaha.edu<mailto:atarrell at unomaha.edu> so you are kept aware of updates.  ​
