###############################################################


The 3rd Schematic Mapping Workshop will be held April 15 – 16, 2021 at
Würzburg University, Würzburg, Germany, after successful editions in
2019 at TU Vienna, Austria and in 2014 at the University of Essex, UK.
This workshop brings together researchers and practitioners working on
various aspects of schematic maps, including cartographers, computer
scientists, graphic designers, psychologists, and transport
professionals.


Scope
——————

Held in 2019 at TU Wien and 2014 at the University of Essex, this
multidisciplinary workshop brings together researchers and
practitioners working on schematic maps of transit networks, including
graphic designers, cartographers, psychologists, computer scientists
and transport professionals.


Submission
——————

We invite the following contributions, all will be submitted to peer review:
• Regular papers will present original research, submitted as a
four-page manuscript. Accepted papers will be presented orally.
• Posters will summarize current projects or new techniques at an
early stage of development, submitted as a two-page summary. Accepted
posters will be exhibited at the workshop.
• Designs that implement fresh approaches to mapping are welcome,
submitted as a one- page description plus image. Accepted designs will
be exhibited at the workshop.
• Position papers will be solicited by the program committee, but
proposals for these are also welcome, contact the organisers directly.
Accepted contributions will be made available electronically as a
collection of preprints: authors will retain copyright.

Topics
——————

Submissions are invited on the following, or related topics:
• Methods for evaluating map quality
• Theoretical approaches to usability and
its measurement
• Results of usability and user-experience studies
• Cross-cultural differences in designing and using schematic maps
• New methods and algorithms for automatic layout of schematic maps
• Theory of network schematics
• Schematic mapping implemented
on portable devices
• Interactive and dynamic schematic maps
• The role of cognitive psychology in designing and understanding schematics
• Critiques of existing schematics
• New approaches to schematic mapping, such as use of atypical design rules
• Historical approaches to mapping transport systems
• The use of schematic maps beyond transit domains


Key Dates
