* Aims and Scope

EuroVis 2009 is the 11th annual Visualization Symposium jointly organized by
the Eurographics Working Group on Data Visualization and the IEEE
Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee.

We invite papers reporting significant new research results and practical
applications of visualization. Contributions from all areas of visualization
are welcome.

Papers accepted for EuroVis will be published in an issue of Computer
Graphics Forum, the International Journal of the Eurographics Association,
using a two-stage review process.


* Topics

Suggested topics for research papers include, but are not limited to:

- Visualization Taxonomies and Models

- Spatial Data in Visualization
 scalar, vector and tensor fields, multi-field and multi-variate,
 multidimensional, multi-resolution, irregular and unstructured grids,
 geographic data, molecular data

- Non-Spatial Data (Information Visualization)
 graphs and trees, high-dimensional data, dimensionality reduction,
 ambient information, text and documents, time series data

- Visualization Techniques
 metrical, geometrical, topological, pixel-oriented, point-based,
 volume-based, icon- and glyph-based, graph-based, feature- based,
 hierarchical, illustrative, view-dependent, focus + context,
 statistical graphics, animation

- Interaction
 human-computer interaction, interaction design, zooming and navigation,
 linking + brushing, coordinated multiple

- Visual Analytics, Visual Data Mining and Knowledge Discovery

- Large Data Visualization
 time-varying data, streams, compression, parallel and distributed,
 scalability, visualization over networks

- Hardware for Visualization
 visualization hardware, hardware/GPU acceleration, volume hardware,
 display devices, haptics for visualization

- General Topics
 visual design, cognition, perception, aesthetics, uncertainty, design
 studies, novel algorithms and mathematics, presentation/production/
 dissemination, collaborative and distributed, mobile/ubiquitous,
 visualization systems, problemsolving environments, virtual environments,
 visualization for the masses, sonification

- Evaluation and User Studies
 task and requirements analysis, metrics and benchmarks, qualitative
 evaluation, quantitative evaluation, laboratory studies, field studies,
 usability studies

We also encourage submission of application papers from different domains,
e.g.

- Physical Sciences and Engineering
- Earth, Space and Environmental Sciences
- Bioinformatics, Life Sciences, Medical Research and Applications
- Information Sciences
- Business and Finance
- Software Development
- Humanities, Social Sciences, Education


* Submission Information

Paper submission is electronic only. Full details, including formatting
instructions and the submission procedure are provided at the EuroVis
website: http://www.eurovis.org

Papers should be formatted according to the EG publication guidelines
(http://www.eg.org/publications/guidelines). You are strongly recommended
to use the EuroVis09 LaTeX style files available. Papers should not exceed
8 pages in length. See submission site for full details.

Accepted papers will be presented at the symposium and will be published in
an issue of Computer Graphics Forum. Supplementary material (e.g. videos)
can also be provided; it will be considered when the paper is reviewed and
will appear in the electronic conference proceedings and in the EG Digital
Library.


* Venue

EuroVis 2009 will take place in the appealing Harnack House, an
international meeting place for scientists, in Berlin-Dahlem, Germany.
The Harnack House belongs to the Max-Planck-Gesellschaft and has been
built by their predecessor, the Kaiser Wilhelm Society.
