InfoVis 2012 - 2012 IEEE Conference on Information Visualization (INFOVIS)

VisWeek 2012 is the premier forum for visualization advances for academia, government, and industry, bringing together researchers and practitioners with a shared interest in tools, techniques, technology and theory. The week is organized around three separate conferences:
● IEEE Visualization 2012. This conference was the original venue for all visualization research, and it remains centered around the exploration and formalization of visualization methodologies for data that has an intrinsic spatial component. 2012 will mark the 22nd aniversary of the conference.
● IEEE Information Visualization 2012. Already in its 17th edition, this conference responds to the need for a specific area of research to investigate cognitively useful visual mappings for datasets that are not inherently spatial, and accompanying the mapping by interaction techniques that allow people to intuitively explore them.
● IEEE Visual Analytics Science and Technology 2012. Building on the foundations established in the Visualization and Information Visualization conferences, VAST is motivated by the need for a deeper understanding of the reasoning processes involved in visual analysis, the need to combine information from multiple sources (spatial and non-spatial, real and theoretical) in visual environments, and the application of visual environments to generate useful insight about real-world problems. This will be the 6th IEEE VAST conference.
Throughout the week a variety of papers, panels, workshops, tutorials, and posters, will be presented for all three conferences, along with industry exhibitions, interactive demonstrations, a doctoral colloquium, and many impromptu birds-of-a-feather meetings among researchers and experts from the visualization community attending the conference.
In 2012, IEEE VisWeek comes to the beautiful city of Providence, RI, the capital city of the smallest state in the country, but packed with exciting entertainment, shopping and food options. A lively downtown area just steps away from the conference hotel, a multi-cultural mix of many award-winning restaurants in several neighbourhoods all in walking distance, a wonderful and elaborate river-walk area for relaxing, and a vibrant art-scene, are all settled among scores of immaculately preserved homes from the Colonial, Federal, Greek Revival and Victorian eras. Come join us!
