Brief Description:
In many collaborative situations, multiple distributed users
simultaneously interact with and analyze complex information while
sharing their results with others. It is through such collaboration that
multiple users bring their expertise to bear on a particular problem to
analyze incomplete information and reach collaborative decisions. Such
collaboration is far more effective when users collaborate by
interacting with meaningful visualizations that accurately depict shared
information. Visualizations must present information in a manner that is
easily understood by individuals with different expertise and
perspectives on the problem at hand. Users must be able to interact with
the visualization to highlight or manipulate information in a natural
way that is readily observed by other participants.
This workshop on Visualization and Collaboration - to be held as part of
the 2012 International Conference on Collaboration Technologies and
Systems (CTS 2012) - will focus on visualization and its role in
collaboration. The objective is to highlight key issues and solutions
for interactive visualization in a collaborative environment. We invite
original contributions from researchers and practitioners in academia,
government, and industry in this emerging visualization specialty.
Topics of Interest include (but are not limited to):
Collaborative visualization architectures, technologies, or algorithms
Visualization for managing collaborative environments
Unique challenges in collaborative visualization
Collaborative visualization solutions and applications
Web-based collaborative visualization
Visualization in collaborative decision making and support
Collaborative data analysis and visualization
Visualization in Social Networks and Media
