[Ieee_vis] VGI Geovisual Analytics Workshop in BDVA (Keynote Speaker update and 2nd round for calling for abstracts)

[Chen, Siming]

Dear (Geo-)Visualization Community,

We would like to invite you to participate in the VGI Geovisual Analytics Workshop associated with the 4th International Symposium on Big Data Visual and Immersive Analytics, (October 17-19, 2018, Konstanz, Germany).


We are pleased to announce that Prof.Jo Wood (https://www.gicentre.net/jwo/index/) will be our keynote speaker!


We are calling for abstracts submissions ~2500 characters (ca. 300 words) consisting on a brief description of ongoing research plus 1 or 2 visual illustrations (e.g. figure, etc.). The submission should be in PDF format. Authors with accepted abstracts will be invited for a presentation in the workshop. The Geovisual Analytics Workshop will bring together researchers from visualisation and geoscience community to investigate how the general concepts of Visual Analytics can be used for the spatio-temporal analysis and interpretation of Volunteered Geographic Information (VGI) research.


Special notes for IEEE VIS participation.

Directly from Zurich Airport (ZRH) there are a number of convenient train connections to Konstanz Train Station which take around 1 to 1.5 h. It is easy for you to connect your trip from Konstanz (Zurich airport) to Berlin.
