********************************************************************

EuroVAST 2010 is the first international symposium on visual analytics
science and technology held in Europe. The goal of the symposium is to
promote and advance the combination and integration of visualization and
analytics methods for the purpose of problem solving in a variety of
application domains including engineering, business, public policy,
medicine, security, etc. EuroVAST will be held on June 8, 2010 in Bordeaux,
France, co-located with the annual EuroVis 2010 Conference.

The EuroVAST program will feature a number of invited speakers from
research and industry as well as a poster program. The keynote talks
will be given by

    * Jarke van Wijk, Technische Universiteit Eindhoven, Netherlands
    * Frank van Ham, IBM, France
    * Gregor Hackenbroich, SAP Research Center, Dresden, Germany

Full papers related to Visual Analytics can be submitted to the
Visual Analytics track of the EuroVis conference. EuroVAST is
sponsored by the European Coordination Action \"VisMaster: Visual
Analytics -- Mastering the Information Age\".

Visual Analytics is the science of analytical reasoning supported by
interactive visual interfaces, which requires interdisciplinary science
integrating techniques from visualization and computer graphics,
statistics and mathematics, data management and knowledge representation,
data analysis and machine learning, cognitive and
perceptual sciences, and more.

TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to
* Visual representations and interaction techniques
* Data management and knowledge representation
* Data analysis and machine learning
* Cognitive and perceptual aspects
* Infrastructure and Evaluation
* Applications
as far as they are related to visual analytics.
