<div>CALL FOR PARTICIPATION</div><div><br></div><div>IEEE Symposium on Large-Scale Data Analysis and Visualization</div><div><br></div><div>VisWeek 2011 in Providence, RI</div><div><br></div><div>October 23-24, 2011</div><div>
<br></div><div>Website: <a href="http://www.ldav.org/">http://www.ldav.org/</a></div><div><br></div><div>In many areas of science, simulations and experiments begin to</div><div>generate many petabytes of data, with some sciences facing exabytes of</div>
<div>data near term. Similarly, the collection of information about the</div><div>Internet applications and users for a variety of purposes is</div><div>generating only more data. Our ability to manage, mine, analyze, and</div>
<div>visualize the data is fundamental to the knowledge discovery</div><div>process. That is, the value of data at extreme scale can be fully</div><div>realized only if we have an end-to-end solution, which demands a</div>
<div>collective, inter-disciplinary effort to develop.</div><div><br></div><div>This new symposium, held in conjunction with VisWeek 2011, aims at</div><div>bringing together domain scientists, data analytics and visualization</div>
<div>researchers, and users, and fostering the needed exchange to develop</div><div>the next-generation data-intensive analysis and visualization</div><div>technology. Attendees will be introduced to the latest and greatest</div>
<div>research innovations in large data management, analysis, and</div><div>visualization, learn how these innovations impact data intensive</div><div>computing and knowledge discovery, and also learn about the critical</div>
<div>issues in creating a complete solution through both invited and</div><div>contributed talks, panel discussion, and a large data visualization</div><div>contest that provides massive data and supercomputing time to</div>
<div>contestants. Paper submissions are solicited for a long paper event</div><div>that describes large data visualization techniques and systems, and a</div><div>short paper event for practitioners to describe and present their</div>
<div>large data visualization applications. Topic emphasis is on</div><div>algorithms, languages, systems and hardware that supports the analysis</div><div>and visualization of large data.</div><div><br></div><div>There are a variety of ways to participate in LDAV 2011 -- papers,</div>
<div>posters, and a vis contest. For details, please see <a href="http://www.ldav.org">http://www.ldav.org</a>.</div><div><br></div><div>We hope to see you there!</div><div><br></div><div>Paper Submission Deadline: April 25, 2011 (Abstracts due April 18th)</div>
