PacificVAST 2019 (23rd April, 2019, Bangkok) CALL FOR PAPERS
 
http://research.cbs.chula.ac.th/pvis2019/PacificVAST.aspx
 
PacificVAST 2019 is an international workshop co-located with IEEE PacificVis 2019.
The workshop is held on April 23rd 2019, the first day of the symposium.
 
In PacificVAST, participants share their state-of-the-art research results and 
fresh perspectives on visual analytics. Visual analytics is a discipline 
concerned with science and technology for analytical reasoning supported by 
interactive visual interfaces. Most papers presented in PacificVAST differ from other 
visualization papers in that they harmoniously integrate interactive visual interfaces 
with analytical techniques from statistics, data mining, or machine learning fields 
to help analyze overwhelming amounts of disparate, conflicting, 
and dynamic information.
 
All aspects of visual analytics are covered in PacificVAST including, 
but not limited to, the following topics:
 
The science of analytical reasoning
 
   - Visually enabled methods to support (collaborative) analytic reasoning 
     about complex and dynamic problems 
   - Scalable visual analytic techniques
 
Visual representations and interaction techniques
 
   - Theories and techniques of visual representations based on cognitive
     and perceptual principles that can be deployed through engineered,
     reusable components
   - Novel visual paradigms that support the (collaborative) analytical
     reasoning process
   - Theories and techniques of user interactions that support the analytical
     reasoning process
 
Data representations, transformations, and integrations
 
   - Theory and practice for transforming data into new scalable representations
     that faithfully represent the content of the underlying data
   - Methods to synthesize multivariate information from different sources
     into a unified data representation
   - Methods and principles for representing data quality, reliability, and
     certainty measures throughout the data transformation and analysis process
 
Techniques, case studies, and systems for production, presentation, 
and dissemination of analysis results
 
   - Methodology and tools that enable the capture of the analytic assessment,
     decision recommendations, and first responder actions into
     information packages
   - Technologies, case studies, and systems that enable analysts
     to communicate what they know through the use of appropriate
     visual metaphor and accepted principles of reasoning and
     graphic representation
   - Techniques and tools that enable effective use of limited, mobile forms of
     technologies to support situation assessment by first responders
 
Methodologies and benchmarks for evaluating visual analytics techniques and systems
 
   - Infrastructure to facilitate evaluation of new visual analytics technologies
   - Ecologically valid evaluation methods for visual analytics tools
 
 
For fostering a stronger visual analytics community in the Asia-Pacific region, 
all accepted papers will be published in a special issue of the 
Elsevier Journal of Visual Informatics on the day of the workshop.
