Conference: IEEE InfoVis
Submitted by Stephen C. North; posted on Saturday, March 22, 2003
Call for Participation
IEEE InfoVis 2003
October 19-21, 2003
Seattle, WA
http://www.infovis.org/infovis2003
Computer-based information visualization, or "infovis", centers around helping people explore or explain data by designing interactive software that exploits the capabilities of the human perceptual system. The central design challenge in infovis is designing a cognitively useful spatial mapping of a dataset that is not inherently spatial. There are many possible visual encodings, only a fraction of which are helpful for a given task. We draw on the intellectual history of several traditions, including computer graphics, human-computer interaction, cognitive psychology, semiotics, graphic design, statistical graphics, cartography, and art. The synthesis of relevant ideas from these fields with new methodologies and techniques made possible by interactive computation are critical for helping people keep pace with the torrents of data confronting them. One of the few resources increasing faster than the speed of computer hardware is the amount of data to be processed.
InfoVis is the primary meeting in the field of information visualization, and is held in conjunction with the IEEE Visualization 2003 (Vis03) conference. This year we have introduced new paper categories (due March 31, using electronic submission) and an InfoVis contest. Further, the symposium is starting a half day earlier, on Sunday afternoon. Please see the conference website for more details.
