DataWiz 2014 - 1st International Workshop on Data Visualization - DataWiz 2014

DataWiz is held in conjunction with the ACM Hypertext 2014 conference (September 1-4, 2014).
The workshop aims at bringing together an interdisciplinary audience (e.g. computer and cognitive scientists, designers, data journalists), in order to discuss tools, models and metaphors useful to understand and explain input or output data through advanced graphical user interfaces.
In fact, interacting with data by means of intriguing visual representations is a fundamental approach to accurately present scientific findings in an appealing way. The aim is to leave to the observer (likely an expert of the domain) the task of exploring complex phenomena, without the pain of dealing with issues such as data complexity and overload of information. This workshop focuses on both scientific and information visualization, and discussions of best practices and innovative approaches are welcome.
OBJECTIVES:
Bringing together researchers from multiple disciplines to discuss and debate current efforts toward using data visualization approaches for exploring, analyzing and understanding information;
Encouraging innovative data visualization methodologies, especially interdisciplinary approaches;
Triggering different scientific communities (e.g. computer scientists, designers, data journalists, physicists and biologists) to propose research areas, topics, solutions to problems that should be tackled from the data visualization perspective.
