Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee. Welcome TOC Welcome to VisWeek 2011! This year’s program includes About Providence ...... 3 three conferences: IEEE Visualization (Vis), Information Visualization (InfoVis), and Visual Analytics Science and Map of venue ...... 3 Technology (VAST); two new symposia: the first IEEE Symposium on Biological Data Visualization (BioVis), and Committee Members ...... 4-6 the first IEEE Symposium on Large-Scale Data Analysis and Conference Schedule At-A-Glance ...... 8-9 Visualization (LDAV); a new art show; and the traditional panels, posters, tutorials, workshops, birds-of-a-feather Tutorials and Workshops...... 10-12 (BOF) meetings, exhibitions, and doctoral colloquium. It promises to be an exciting and stimulating week. Call for Participation 2012 ...... 15 For the first time this year, topical papers published during Vis in Other Venues ...... 11 the last year in IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) will make up four of the tech- BioVis Keynote ...... 11 nical paper sessions. As has been the case for the last 5 LDAV Keynote ...... 12 years, TVCG will once again publish all of the Vis and InfoVis papers in a special issue of the journal. VisWeek Keynote...... 14

This year’s program introduces a new format. The opening VisWeek Capstone ...... 20 session Tuesday will feature keynote speaker Paul Thagard, one day earlier than traditionally; the closing session, Posters and Interactive Demos ...... 21-22 featuring capstone speaker Amanda Cox, remains midday Friday. Each of these four days will start with a fast-forward Discovery Exhibition ...... 22 session, where every paper to be presented during the Supporters & Exhibitors ...... 23-24 day will offer a 30 second preview. This program change provides us with space to hold the growing body of quality work that our discipline is producing each year while staying within three parallel technical sessions. As always, a number of other events will enrich the week.

In 2012, IEEE VisWeek comes to the beautiful city of Seattle, Washington. Downtown Seattle is easily walkable and waiting to be explored. Shopping, dining, arts and visitor attractions are within steps of hotels and inns. The city is surrounded by pristine waterways, two mountain ranges and three national parks. To the west lies the only temperate rain forest in the continental U.S. To the east, a world-class wine region.
