[Ieee_vis] IEEE VIS: Registration, Workshops, Symposium, VAST Challenge

[Call for Papers - VGTC]

IEEE VIS 2017 is the premier forum for advances in visualization. The
event-packed week, October 1-6, 2017 in Phoenix, Arizona, brings together
researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to
explore their shared interests in tools, techniques, and technology.



====================

News

====================

Registration for VIS is now open and hotel information is now available on

Remember the upcoming deadlines for Panels (June 15 with automatic deadline
extension to June 22), Posters (June 16), LDAV Papers (June 16).



====================

Workshop: Visualization in Practice

====================

Submission deadline: Friday June 16, 2017

The 2017 Workshop on Visualization in Practice (VIP) is an opportunity for
visualization practitioners and researchers to meet and share experiences,
insights, and ideas in applying the latest visualization and visual
analytics research to real world problems. VIP targets work at the
interface between visualization research and specific application domains.
It is highly interdisciplinary and focused on delivering actual value to
users. This year, we specifically focus on visualization solutions in the
wild, i.e. on tools, systems, or frameworks which are actively used. The
workshop will cover all aspects from their initial conception and design,
the process of getting them into use, and the long-term work of extending
and sustaining them.

====================

Symposium on Visualization in Data Science (VDS)

====================

Submission deadline: July 14, 2017



Visualization is an integral part of data science, and essential to enable
sophisticated analysis of data. After two highly successful events, the
third Symposium on Visualization in Data Science (VDS) will again be held
at IEEE VIS 2017. VDS will bring together domain scientists and methods
researchers (including visualization, usability and HCI, data management,
statistics, machine learning, and software engineering) to discuss common
interests, talk about practical issues, and identify open research problems
in visualization in data science. We solicit contributions in the form of
papers and abstracts / talks. Extended versions of selected papers will
appear in the IEEE Transactions on Big Data.

VAST Challenge 2017

====================

Submission deadline: July 16, 2017



All Mini-challenges and Grand Challenge available for download!

Innovative visual analytics approaches wanted to solve the Mystery at the
Wildlife Preserve!



The Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) Challenge is an annual
contest with the goal of advancing the field of visual analytics through
competition. The VAST Challenge is designed to help researchers understand
how their software would be used in a novel analytic task and determine if
their data transformations, visualizations, and interactions would be
beneficial for particular analytic tasks. VAST Challenge problems provide
researchers with realistic data sets and questions for evaluating their
software, as well as an opportunity to advance the field by solving more
complex problems. This year’s Challenge offers three diverse
mini-challenges and a grand challenge that concern a sad state of affairs
in a nature preserve, threats to flora and fauna, and the quest of a local
graduate student to find the explanations.

====================

2nd Workshop on Visualization for the Digital Humanities

====================

Submission deadline: July 21, 2017

The purpose of this workshop is to propose new research directions in
visualization for the digital humanities, to familiarize the visualization
research community with the problems faced by digital humanities
researchers, and to foster future collaboration between visualization and
digital humanities research. Building on the success of the workshop in
2016, we are seeking work from scholars in both visualization and the
humanities who use visualization as part of the process of analyzing and
interrogating human culture.
