[gillmann at informatik.uni-leipzig.de]

LEVIA 2022 (planned as hybrid event)

The 4th LEipzig symposium on Visualization In Applications (LEVIA'22)  
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.

IMPORTANT DATES:
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 19th
CONFERENCE DATES: April 6/7th

CALL FOR PAPERS

Means of visualization are widely used in diverse application domains  
to analyze data, to facilitate hypothesis verification and generation,  
to derive new data, and to discover trends, outliers and  
data-dependent features. Collaborative aspects between visualization  
scholars and domain experts as well as design studies and the  
development of novel visualization techniques that shed a new light on  
known data objects are in the scope of the symposium. We welcome  
papers describing original work, i.e. hitherto unpublished scientific  
or information visualization research. Suggested application domains  
include, but are not limited to:

bioinformatics
business and finance
digital humanities
earth, space, and environmental sciences
geovisualization
material sciences
molecular, biomedical, and medical visualization
multimedia visualization (image/video/music)
physical sciences and engineering
social and information sciences
software visualization
text visualization
urban science
visual analytics
visualization for the masses

FULL PAPER TRACK

Full papers are only accepted in English, they should be carefully  
checked for correct grammar and spelling, and authors should address  
one or several application domains of visualization. Papers will be  
reviewed by at least three experts in the field. Please make sure that  
submissions do not substantially overlap work that has been published  
elsewhere or simultaneously submitted to a journal or another  
conference with proceedings. In such a case, papers will be rejected  
without reviews. 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

Abstracts are only accepted in English, they should be carefully  
checked for correct grammar and spelling, and authors should address  
one or several application domains of visualization. Abstracts will be  
reviewed by at least two experts in the field. Please announce a  
substantial overlap with further work which has been published  
elsewhere or simultaneously submitted to a journal or another  
conference with proceedings in order to properly the purpose of your  
paper.

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.

Selected, promising ideas will be invited to submit a full paper after  
the conference, which will undergo a revision cycle that aims to  
provide feedback for a minor revision. Finally, accepted full papers  
will be included in the LEVIA 2020 proceedings next to the regularly  
accepted full papers.
