Call for Papers, Videos and Participation
Proceeding will be published by IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY
This symposium supports research in two general domains: Design Practice and Aesthetics. Design practice refers to the use of Visualisation as a component of Design processes and methods. Aesthetics refers to the role of aesthetics in acceptance, cognition, and use of Visualisation tools. This symposium presents an opportunity to explore these issues and their consequences for information visualization.
Papers presenting original research with the theme of "Design and Aesthetics in Visualisation" are being sought. Suggested topics include (but are not limited to):
Domain 1: Design Practice
Scope: Various design processes in diverse knowledge areas often make use of visualization tools as an integral component. Such uses support the design process by enhancing cognition of problems, and exploring
-Visual Thinking / Reasoning in Design
Visual Thinking in Design Ideation
Visual Design Languages
Visual Design Representations
Generative Approaches to Design Problems
-Virtual Design
Visualisation of Design Information -
Virtual Spaces for Design Visualization
-Visual Design Education in the Digital Era
-Methods of Visualisation in Design
Visualisation for/of collaborative design
Visualisations methods used in Industry
Future methods of visualization
Methodologies of design practice in visualization
Domain 2: Aesthetics
Scope: Information Visualization practitioners are routinely faced with solving problems of visual representation and communication. The selection of graphical elements and their semantic meanings as representational primitives has been a frequent, though somewhat under-explored topic of study in the community. The work of Bertin, Tufte, and others is well-known and often cited. Norman is now addressing the role of aesthetics in interaction.
However, the more general topic of aesthetics in information visualisation suffers from a comparative lack of study. While the "look and feel" of information systems is often recognized as important for usability, satisfaction, and acceptance, the role of aesthetics relevant to information visualization tools is poorly understood.
Particular areas of interest are:
-Creativity in Digital Domains
Interface Design for Design
Creativity and exploration in visualisation
Purely aesthetic exploration-i.e., no explicit applied uses
-Aesthetics and Interaction
Aesthetics of visualization interfaces
Immersiveness and visualisations
Human-Computer Interaction and aesthetics/pleasure
Aesthetic design and usability
Evaluation methods for aesthetic designs
Theory of aesthetics for visualization
NOTE: Following the conference, a number of papers will be identified for publication in a special issue/book. Authors will be asked to submit extended versions of their papers at that time.
