DATAVIEW 2010 - 1st International Workshop on DATA Visualization and Integration in Enterprises and on the Web

1st International Workshop on DATA Visualization and Integration in Enterprises and on the Web

25-29 October 2010
Crete, Greece

Goals and topics

Recent years witnessed a proliferation of semi-structured, structured, and semantically annotated data on the Web: an increasing amount of individuals, public organization and enterprises, is currently publishing information for free usage. Contextually, the availability of a wide spectrum of high-level data integration tools - such as (enterprise) mash-up platforms - offered to developers (and to end users) several means for the integration of such data, enabling novel applications and business scenario. The usage of the Web as a common pubblication, mediation, aggregation and consumpion platform decreased the existing gap beetwen Web and Enterprise applications, which often leverage common data integration methodologies and tools. Moreover, the nature and the abundance of such structured data shifts the nature of user interactions, where models based on navigation of documents are replaced by paradigms that leverage the exploration of object repositories; in such a context, providing a satisfactory user experience proved to be a challenging task for application developers. In addition, as the richness and value of data also increases, Web and Enterprise applications must provide users with visualizations and interaction paradigms that leverage properties such as the underlying data relationships, source type, provenance, and quality. As a consequence, a deeper understanding of data integration, visualization and user interaction issues is becoming more and more compelling in applications design and development. We believe that, in order to tackle the new challenges provided by a Web of Data, data integration, visualization and user interaction methodologies and tools need to be revised to effectively manage the design and the interaction application with information.

The aim of the DATAVIEW workshop is to bring together researchers and practitioners in the fields of Software Engineering, Web engineering, Semantic Web, Databases, (multimedia) Information Retrieval and data visualization. The main goal is to explore the feasibility of using and combining different approaches to create effective Web and Enterprise applications where the integration, visualization and interaction with data is a main concern, as well as to identify additional requirements needed in order to apply these methods and techniques to existing design and development environments.

Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

? Integration of heterogeneous data in Enterprises and on the Web
? Visualization of integrated heterogeneous in Enterprises and on Web data
? Interfaces for Web-scale and large-scale data repositories search and exploration
? Linked Data visualization and exploration
? Taxonomies and ontologies for data visualization
? Lightweight (semantic) metadata or knowledge integration
? Conceptual models for data visualization and exploration
? Data visualization for next-generation mobile devices
? Studies on quality, usability, effectiveness of data visualization techniques
? Innovative uses of tag clouds
? Ambient information displays
? Data visualization for large screens and interactive tablets
? Augmented reality and cross-media interfaces
? Visualisations for multimodal interaction
? Tools for Web and Enterprises data visualizations
? Applications: Search, Semantic Web, Social Web and Web 2.0, Adaptive and personalized Web applications, SaaS, Business Intelligence, Data Warehouse, Enterprise 2.0

Submission guidelines

Papers should explore open research problems, as well as provide advances in the areas of workshop's core topic. Papers submitted to DATAVIeW ‘10 must not have been accepted for publication elsewhere or be under review for another workshop or conference. All papers will be peer-reviewed by at least three PC members.

Papers must be in English and may be submitted as:

? Full Papers (10 pages)

? Short Papers (5 pages)

? Position Statements (3 pages)

The final proceedings will be published by Springer Verlag as LNCS (Lecture Notes in Computer Science). Author instructions can be found at: http://www.springer.de/comp/lncs/authors.html

Failure to comply with the above formatting instructions for submitted papers will lead to the outright rejection of the paper without review. Failure to commit to presentation at the conference automatically excludes a paper from the proceedings.
