[Ieee_vis] CFP: Data Systems for Interactive Analysis

[Carlos Scheidegger]

CALL FOR PAPERS
 
The 2nd Workshop on Data Systems for Interactive Analysis (DSIA 2017)
 
http://www.interactive-analysis.org/
 
Monday, October 1st or 2nd, 2017. Phoenix, AZ. In conjunction with IEEE VIS 2017.
 
*** Submission Deadline: July 31st, 2017 ***
 
In its first edition in Chicago, DSIA drew more than 150 attendees for an exciting session with a keynote talk by Joe Hellerstein (UC Berkeley, Trifacta) and publications from both the visualization and data management communities. We’re looking forward to a vibrant program and discussion this year.
 
DSIA brings together researchers at the intersection of databases, machine learning, and interactive visualization. These three areas have important things to say to each other. Modern data visualization depends on the cutting edge of both database and machine learning research: database researchers are exploring techniques for storing and querying massive amounts of data; machine learning techniques provide ways to discover unexpected patterns and to automate and scale well-defined analysis procedures. This workshop explores the idea that the next generation of database, machine learning, and interactive visualization systems should not be designed in isolation. For example, machine learning techniques might recommend improved data transformation and visual encoding decisions. Or, database query optimizers might take advantage of perceptual constraints, while prefetching methods reduce latency by modeling likely interactions. This workshop seeks to increase cross-pollination between these fields.
 
 
LIST OF TOPICS 
 
This workshop will focus on interactive systems: techniques, methods, architecture, systems that enable the user to interactively explore and analyze large amounts of data in the back end with little or no latency. We encourage late-breaking work, research in progress, and position papers in interactive analysis, broadly construed. For example, topics of interest to the workshop include (but are not limited to):
 
* design of database architectures for interactive analysis
* novel database applications for interactive analysis
* novel database techniques based on perceptual constraints and human-centered design
* evaluation of database systems for interactive analysis
* identify unique characteristics of database for supporting vis
* communication protocols between front and back ends
* techniques for data storage, retrieval, compression, transformation, sampling, and streaming
* techniques for metadata generation
* front-end architectures that exploit these novel back-end capabilities
 
We are interested, more generally, in the questions that arise at the *intersection* of these systems. 
 
 
PAPER FORMAT AND SUBMISSION
 
Submitted papers should be formatted according to TVCG guidelines. (http://junctionpublishing.org/vgtc/Tasks/camera_tvcg.html) Papers are limited to 4 pages plus 1 additional page for references. Papers should be submitted through the Precision Conference System (http://precisionconference.com/~vgtc, under "New Submissions" and "VIS Workshops 2017"). Accepted submissions will be archived at IEEE Xplore.
