Advances in information visualization point to new possibilities for developing enhanced interfaces for improving retrieval, manipulation, and management of data stored in digital libraries. The IVIRA workshop will cover both theoretical and experimental research on the development, usage, and evaluation of effective interfaces to digital libraries. Of particular interest is research that exploits visualization to support improved browsing, retrieval, analysis, and understanding of domains represented in digital libraries. Interfaces for the following types of resources are of special interest to this workshop: - Textual documents (literature databases) - Statistical data - Multimedia or mixed-media data - Geo-spatial data - Genomics and proteomics data - Time-variant or dynamic data Papers are invited from researchers and practitioners with expertise and interest in information visualization, user interfaces for DLs, search/retrieval, human-computer interaction, interface design methodologies, and evaluation. Submission Selection You are invited to submit a position paper by May 5th, 2003. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. No late submissions will be accepted. IVIRA will accept electronic submissions in PDF format only. Papers should be no longer than 2-6 pages and conform to the format specified in the template (see http://www.ils.unc.edu/jcdl2002/cfp.doc). Please submit your paper as an attachment to: jm@indiana.edu.
