[Asis-l] CFP: JCDL'03 IVIRA Workshop

[javed mostafa]

International Workshop on Information Visualization Interfaces for
Retrieval and Analysis (IVIRA) at the Joint Conference on Digital
Libraries 2003


Workshop Website: http://vw.indiana.edu/ivira03/

Venue: JCDL 2003, Rice University, Houston, Texas, USA, May 31, 2003


Description

Voluminous and complex nature of information in digital libraries demands
powerful means of human-computer interaction.  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 at indiana.edu.
