There is a growing interest in eye tracking as a research method in many communities because progress in hardware technology and the reduction of costs for eye tracking devices have made this analysis technique accessible to a large population of researchers. Nonetheless, standardized practices for technical implementations and data interpretation remain unresolved. With this Workshop on Eye Tracking and Visualization (ETVIS), we intend to build a community of eye tracking researchers within the visualization community, covering information visualization, scientific visualization, and visual analytics. We also aim to establish connections to related fields, in particular, in human-computer interaction, cognitive science, and psychology.

C4PGV 2016 is a forum that provides an opportunity to discuss state-of-the-art and present novel contributions towards the development of a theoretical foundation for Visualization and Visual Analytics. There are three challenges that will be addressed in the workshop: (1) the lack of a centralized place for easy discovery of known or proposed principles and guidelines; (2) the lack of documentation about when and where a principle or guideline is applicable and when and where it is not, as well as examples for attesting either conditions; and (3) the lack of platforms (except formal publications) for supporting the evolution and improvement of principles and guidelines, and fostering early proposal of principles and guidelines.

Logs recording and analysis is a very powerful mechanism to improve the usability of tools and enrich the user experience with history. This workshop aims at bringing the visualization community together to share their practice on all aspect of logging, ranging from reporting, analysis, to visualization and its underlying infrastructure. Expected benefits include raising awareness on the potentials of logging for visualization, providing shared tools and methods to instrument visualizations, show how logging can improve visualization and interaction techniques, and scale to large number of users and sessions.

The pedagogy of data visualization is becoming increasingly important as data visualization techniques and tools proliferate. In this workshop, we propose to create a community of practice that supports each other as they learn to be better teachers in their respective classrooms. Based on the well attended panels at IEEE Vis in 2010 and 2015, there is a strong interest in the data visualization community for exploring the pedagogy of data visualization. We propose the conduct a half-day interactive workshop that will include lightning talks followed by a discussion on strategies to further sustain the community of practice of data visualization educators.

Join us in the first Discovery Jam in a design sprint for scientific discovery. Think of it as a “Game Jam for Science”. Guest scientists will present data-centric discovery challenge problems, then you’ll collaborate in a small team (with a scientist) to brainstorm, design, and present pitches of your innovative ideas. Modern science requires a data-intensive approach melding expertise from many disciplines, but this is difficult to achieve. A new, perhaps even disruptive, approach is needed. This workshop will demonstrate the culture of collaboration that we believe will help scientists, technologists, designers and artists work together to innovate designs, methods, and tools for scientific discovery.

Despite the growing popularity of digital methods for research in the humanities, digital humanists are underserved by academics in visualization, and under-represented in visualization conferences. Addressing this deficit requires exposure to the specific data issues and epistemologies of humanities scholars, interdisciplinary collaboration, and steering of future research directions. The purpose of this workshop is to propose new research directions in visualization for the digital humanities, to familiarize the visualization research community with the problems faced by digital humanities researchers, and to foster future collaboration between visualization and digital humanities research.

An ongoing visualization challenge is often to leverage the voluminous data that is being captured to drive decision making and insights. Common to such data are temporal events, data points with both a timestamp and event type, so understanding patterns of temporal event sequences is an important problem to many domains. Recently, there has been an increasing amount of visualization research focusing on temporal events. The main question behind the proposed workshop is: How can we unify and advance the role of visualization in temporal event analysis? The workshop will gather visualization researchers together to discuss the interesting opportunities and challenges visualization may face with temporal events.

The 2016 Workshop on Visualization in Practice is an opportunity for visualization practitioners and researchers to meet and share experiences, insights, and ideas in applying the latest visualization and visual analytics research to real world problems. The focus of this year’s workshop will be the design, development, distribution, and application of open source visualization and visual analytics software. The workshop will include an invited keynote, a session of talks, and a poster session in which live demonstrations of open source tools will be given.
