KDViz 2013 - 12nd International Symposium Knowledge Domain Visualization

Knowledge Domain Visualization (KDViz) aims to advance our understanding of the structure and dynamics of a knowledge domain and augment our ability to identify and analyze a knowledge domain in a wide variety of quantitative and qualitative methods. KDViz emphasizes the role of visual analytics, information visualization, exploratory data analysis, information retrieval, information science, and text mining and other enabling techniques.
Aims
International Symposium on KDViz aims to provide an inter-disciplinary forum for researchers and practitioners from a wide variety of disciplines to address theories, methodologies, techniques, applications, evaluations and case studies in relation to KDViz. The symposium also aims to promote the cross-disciplinary awareness between disciplines such as information visualization and information science. For the purpose of this symposium, a knowledge domain is broadly defined as a dynamic, evolving intellectual structure of a given subject matter. Knowledge domain visualization aims to reveal the dynamics of a knowledge domain by utilizing a wide variety of techniques involving visual thinking, visual discovery, visual exploration, and visual analysis.
Scope
