[Borgo R.]

IEEE VIS Workshop on: Creation, Curation, Critique and Conditioning of Principles and Guidelines in Visualization (C4PGV)

(In conjunction with IEEE VIS 2016, Oct 23th or 24th, Baltimore, MD)
Website: http://c4pgv.swansea.ac.uk


CALL FOR PAPERS:
-------

The 2016 Workshop on Creation, Curation, Critique and Conditioning of Principles and Guidelines in Visualization (C4PGV 2016) is the first forum that provides an opportunity for participants to discuss state-of-the-art and present novel contributions towards the development of a theoretical foundation for Visualization and Visual Analytics.


TOPICS AND SCOPE
-------

The focus of this workshop is placed on a specific yet fundamental aspect: the lack of a unified theoretical foundation or framework for underpinning all four components of creation, curation, critique and conditioning of design guidelines and principles for visualization and visual analytics.
The challenge includes:

-    the lack of a centralized place for easy discovery of known or proposed principles and guidelines

-    the lack of documentation about when and where a principle or guideline is applicable and when and where it is not, as well as examples for attesting either conditions

-    the lack of platforms (except formal publications) for supporting the evolution and improvement of principles and guidelines, and fostering early proposal of principles and guidelines.


SUBMISSIONS
-------
The workshop invites submissions of extended abstracts between 250-500 word in length (excluding images and references) presenting innovative ideas, discourses, design concepts, requirement analysis and work-in-progress in the context of principles and guidelines in visualization and visual analytics.

The topics of these presentations may include but are not limited to the following:

-    Comparative analysis of several guidelines for a visual representation,

-    Requirements and gap analysis of principles and guidelines for one or more visualization tasks (or application domains),

-    Evidence-based critique of a principle or guideline,

-    Case studies of a principle in relation to a task, a visual design, and a group of users,

-    Proposal of a new principle or guideline, or a major revision of an existing one,

-    Proposal of a mechanism for curating principles and guidelines,

-    Proposal of a framework for critique of principles and guidelines,

-    Proposal of a mechanism for disseminating and deployment of established principles and guidelines,

-    Discourse on long-term sustainable mechanism(s) for Creation, Curation, Critique and Conditioning activities,

-    Discourse on the relationships and transformation between principles and guidelines and other theoretical aspects, such as taxonomies, conceptual frameworks and models, and quantitative laws,


PRESENTATION AND REVIEW PROCESS
-------

Papers will be reviewed by committee members and accepted authors will present at the workshop. At least one author of each accepted position paper must attend the workshop. Presentations will be in a panel format to encourage discussion: 4-5 participants will present together as part of a thematic panel. Each panel participant will give a short (5-10 minuteS) presentation of their work followed by a joint discussion.

All accepted abstracts will be published online, and accessible from the workshop's website http://c4pgv.swansea.ac.uk
Selected contributions will also be published in a white paper that outlines the state of the art and future directions.


IMPORTANT DATES:
--------

Deadline for submission:          July 22nd, 2016
Notification of acceptance:        September 2nd, 2016
Workshop date:                    October 23th, 2016 (provisional, exact date TBA)
