Visual Analytics is a relatively new multidisciplinary field that combines various research areas including knowledge discovery, data analysis, visualization, human-computer interaction, data management, geo-spatial and temporal data processing and statistics. The goal of Visual Analytics is to derive insight from massive, dynamic, ambiguous, and often conflicting data; detect the expected and discover the unexpected; provide timely, defensible, and understandable assessments; and communicate the assessment effectively for action. An integration of the increasing processing power of computers with the efficient pattern recognition abilities and domain knowledge of human analysts is a challenging and promising road in dealing with large amounts of complex data. It will be also a major driving force for solutions for information overload in many research and commercial areas.
The objective of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners that are developing and applying the state-of-the-art in visual analytics; to provide a forum for presentation and discussion of the newest both mature and greenhouse ideas, research and developments in visual analytics and supporting disciplines, and to identify the short- and long-term research directions in the field and preferences of the potential end users.
We solicit papers that will introduce new research results, present forward-looking positional statements, or define relevant research challenges.
Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
- Visual analytics process models
- Complexity, efficiency and scalability of visual analytics techniques
- Incorporation of domain knowledge in visual analytics
- Algorithmic animation methods for visual data mining
- Cognitive aspects of information visualization in data mining
- Multi-modal technologies for visual analytics
- Interactivity in visual analytics
- Visual languages in visual analytics
- Visual representation of discovered knowledge
- Efficient data processing algorithms for visual computing
- Metrics and evaluation methods for visual analytics
- Generic visualisation architectures
- Methods for visualising semantic content
- Visual analytics of integrated data sets, including text, graph and digital media data
- Collaborative visual analytics, including high-end virtual environments
- Visual data abstraction
- Visual analysis of large graphs and networks
- Visual exploration of data warehouses
- Integrated visualisation of raw data and analysis results
- Perceptual and cognitive factors visual analytics
- Interaction paradigms and human factors in visual analytics
9 August | Paper/challenge submissions |
20 September 2010 | Notifications of acceptance |
11 October 2010 | Camera ready papers |
14 December 2010 | Workshop in Sydney, Australia |
- Peter Eades, University of Sydney, Australia
- Joseph Kielman, US Department of Homeland Security, USA
- Bart Goethals, University of Antwerp, Belgium
Peter Eades will give a presentation titled 'It's Hard to Draw a Graph'. It will detail methods for graph visualization, and point to problems that have not yet been solved.
Joseph Kielman will give a presentation titled 'Research Directions and Collaborations in Visual Analytics'. This will give some insight on visual analytics, based on his experience, and point out a few open research problems and possible collaborations between the visual analytics and data mining communities.
Bart Goethals will give a presentation titled 'Visual Pattern Mining'.
You are invited to work the VAST 2008-2010 challenges, and use those datasets, to illustrate your KDD/VA research. A distinct advantage to you in using these datasets is that we will be able to compare and contrast approaches taken by the Visual Analytics community with yours and examine the possibilities for synergies between the two communities. We will provide additional guidance into the adjusted tasks to make the challenge interesting to the KDD community.
We will present examples of the VAST 2008, 2009, and 2010 challenge solutions at the workshop, as a springboard to follow-on discussion.
Submissions have to be 10 pages or less in IEEE 2-column format submitted electronically via Cyber Chair.
We strongly encourage (but do not strictly require) all contributors to use at least some of the challenge tasks described below to demonstrate the methods and concepts proposed in the contributions. This will support the discussion by making the position papers more concrete by providing a common problem for all, as well as serve as uniform benchmark data set for the workshop submissions.
In addition to original contributions we will consider papers based on recently published outstanding works, given that the original papers are adequately cited and the status is clearly stated in the contribution.
CRC versions of the papers can be submitted via http://www.ieeeconfpublishing.org/cpir/AuthorKit.asp?Community=CPS&Facility=CPS_Nov&ERoom=ICDM-W+2010
All submitted papers will be reviewed for quality and originality by the Program Committee. Based on this review, the papers will be accepted for oral and/or poster presentations, or rejected. The review process will not be double-blind (i.e., the reviewers can see your identity, you do not have to anonymize your paper).
Papers will be selected by the program committee through a peer-review process and they will be presented in oral and/or poster sessions in the workshop. Selected papers will be invited to be published in a special journal issue or proceedings after the workshop, along with the conclusions of the workshop.
