The eighth IEEE Visualization conference focuses on the algorithms, technologies, and applications that support collaboration among the developers and users of visualization across all of science, engineering, medicine, and commerce. Papers are solicited that present research results related to all areas of visualization, including visualization tools and methods, and discipline-specific applications. Original papers should be limited to 5,000 words. Authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to submit a new or revised video to be included in the conference videotape. They are also published on a CD-ROM and are made available on the Internet.
Case studies are reports on how visualization has contributed to the analysis of data.
They may have an application focus or relate to the visualization process. Possible application areas include physical, life, and social sciences, engineering, and commerce. An emphasis on lessons learned from practical experience is strongly encouraged, particularly where visualization has been employed in a real, working environment. Presentation of challenges or limitations in today's methods and areas for potential new topics for research is desired. These reports may include results of research or approaches for work in progress but should also be somewhat educational for those not familiar with the application domain.
