LEVIA 2020 - Deadline Extension!

LEipzig symposium on Visualization In Applications (LEVIA) aims at  
bringing together visualization scholars from all research areas  
related to visualization. The focus of the symposium is to shed a  
light on different application areas that enable scientific knowledge  
discovery with visualizations. The program will be structured along  
several visualization application areas.
COVID-19 NOTE
Due to the current pandemic the LEVIA will be held as a hybrid event.  
This means that we aim to realize a physical meeting, but in case  
conference participants are not allowed to travel or do not feel  
comfortable with travelling, an online attendance is possible. We are  
counting on around 20 participants, which falls under the legal  
restrictions of the state of Saxony. Currently, the number of Covid-19  
cases are extremely low and we will organize the conference providing  
a hygiene concept.

FULL PAPER TRACK
LEVIA calls for papers having a length of 4 to 8 pages (+1 page for  
references). Accepted papers will receive a long talk slot and will be  
published on the conference website. In addition, we seek for a second  
publication realm to increase the visibility of accepted works. More  
details will be announced soon.
PAPER ABSTRACT TRACK
This year, we will also provide a platform for young researchers in  
applied visualization, in which they can present their research ideas  
and PhD topics and discuss them with experts in the field. We welcome  
abstracts in all application areas of visualization as suggested in  
the call for papers. Abstracts can be submitted for the following  
purposes:
-	discussion of a project/research idea
-	discussion of a PhD topic
-	presentation of a position, i.e., an arguable opinion about a certain topic

We solicit abstract submissions (2 pages +1 page for references) that  
outline a research idea. We explicitly welcome open question sections  
to promote a lively discussion of the topic. Accepted abstracts will  
be presented in a mixed poster/presentation session, in which each  
presenter will display a poster of the respective abstract topic. In  
addition, each presenter will give an elevator pitch of their research  
ideas.
