Week-at-a-Glance
The IEEE Information Visualization Conference (IEEE
InfoVis) is the premier meeting in the field of information
visualization. Computer-based information visualization centers
around helping people explore or explain abstract data through
interactive software that exploits the capabilities of the human
perceptual system. A key challenge in information visualization is
designing cognitively useful spatial mappings ofabstract datasets that
are not inherently spatial, and accompanying the mappings with
interaction techniques that allow people to intuitively explore the
data. Information visualization draws on the intellectual history of
several traditions, including computer graphics, human-computer
interaction, cognitive psychology, semiotics, graphic design,
statistical graphics, cartography, and art. The synthesis of relevant
ideas from these fields with new methodologies and techniques made
possible by interactive computation are critical for helping people
keep pace with the torrents of information confronting them.
The program of IEEE InfoVis 2009 includes papers, posters, tutorials, workshops, panels, exhibits, birds-of-a-feather Colloquium.
New this year is our Discovery Exhibition, a venue for everyone in the visualization community to share stories of applied research results and show the impact that InfoVis research can have on the work and life of people.
IEEE InfoVis 2009 is part of IEEE VisWeek 2009 which also features:
| IEEE Vis 2009 | IEEE Visualization Conference | |
| IEEE VAST 2009 | IEEE Symposium on Visual Analytics Science and Technology |
Join us in Atlantic City, New Jersey, during October 11 - 16, 2009.
