Dear researchers, apologize if you receive multiple copies of this document. WebVis2000 is a workshop in conjunction with DEXA 2000, which focuses on information visualization, combining aspects of scientific visualization, human-computer interaction, data mining, imaging and graphics. Prof. Miguel Feldens WebVis2000 Program Comitee ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Call for Papers WebVis 2000 Second International Workshop on Web-Based Information Visualization in conjunction with the 11th International Conference on Database and Expert Systems Applications DEXA 2000 Date: September 4 - 8, 2000 Location: Greenwich, United Kingdom http://kniebach.fmi.uni-konstanz.de/pub/english.cgi/d274881/cfp_webvis_2000_1.html Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer Society Press THEME Information visualization combines aspects of scientific visualization, human-computer interaction, data mining, imaging and graphics. It focuses on information which is often abstract. This means that many interesting classes of information have no natural and obvious physical representation. A key research problem is to discover new visual metaphors for representing information and to understand which analytical tasks they support. The largest information space is perhaps the World Wide Web, which contains millions of pages. Information visualization in this domain enables users to get information quickly, put it in a meaningful shape, and to make decisions in a relatively short time. Web-based information visualization describes visualization applications that use the Web as an information source, a delivery mechanism for visualization, or both. The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners who are working in key technology areas of Information Visualization in order to discuss recent research findings and address complementary research and development issues. Of particular interest are papers describing different visualization techniques to make use of the information available in the net or how Web-techniques can be used to visualize information Topics of interest include but are not limited to: Web as new medium for visualization Web-based visualization techniques (e.g. providing interactive views of environmental data on the WWW) Typical taxonomies of information visualization (e.g. data, tasks) Web-based development tools for visualization (e.g. VRML, Java) Web-based visualization for data analysis (e.g. structured or unstructured data) Visualization examples (e.g. applications): hierarchical information (e.g. web structures), networks (Web-based network traffic monitoring tool) content-based document clustering (e.g. clustering documents into an information space based on their content) visualization of Web search results information space metaphors visualization techniques for small devices (e.g. cellular phones, palm tops) empirical studies comparative studies of Information Visualization Applications DataBase Management and Information Retrieval oriented enabling technologies supporting Information Visualization on the Web Enabling technologies supporting the integration of Web-based Information Visualization and Web-based Multimedia Information Visualization supporting Web technologies (e.g. how information visualization can make the Web easier to use) Usage and User-Centered Web-based Information Visualization (e.g. how to make information visualization more useful) Web-based decision making resources Data Mining as information technology for clickstream analysis, navigability measurements The papers must clearly show how the technical solutions described contribute to the area of web-based information visualization.
