Vis 11th IEEE VAST Conference 22nd IEEE InfoVis Conference 2 0 126th 5 IEEE Scientific Visualization Conference Call for Participation VIS 2015 will be the year’s premier forum for advances in sci- entific and information visualization. The weeklong event will convene an international community of researchers and prac- titioners from academia, government, and industry to explore their shared interests in tools, techniques, and technology. We invite you to participate in IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST), IEEE Information Visualization (InfoVis), and IEEE Scientific Visualization (SciVis), by sharing your research, insights, experience, and enthusiasm. In 2015, IEEE VIS will be held in the City of Chicago, a world- class city located on the shore of Lake Michigan. The Chicago metropolitan area is home to over 9.5 million people, several world-renowned universities, two national laboratories, numerous corporate headquarters, and five major American professional sports teams. The city also promotes year-round www.ieeevis.org cultural activities, which include Millennium Park, The Field Follow @ieeevis to keep up with conference activities Museum of Natural History, Adler Planetarium, Chicago and announcements.

Doctoral Colloquium 2015 CALL FOR PARTICIPATION VIS 2015 will host a Doctoral Colloquium to support the next generation of visualization researchers. Ph.D. students at any stage of their research are invited to apply to participate in the colloquium. Students who will be completing their proposal defense near the time of the colloquium are particularly encouraged to apply. It will incorporate contributions from the visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics student communities. Colloquium participation will offer students insight and support for the framing of their research and will help them create important relationships. Financial support may be available to participants to assist in traveling to the conference. The colloquium will be run as a single day invitation-only event at the beginning of IEEE VIS. Questions?
