CALL FOR PARTICIPATION

IEEE Symposium on Large-Scale Data Analysis and Visualization

VisWeek 2011 in Providence, RI

October 23-24, 2011

Website: http://www.ldav.org/

In many areas of science, simulations and experiments begin to
generate many petabytes of data, with some sciences facing exabytes of
data near term. Similarly, the collection of information about the
Internet applications and users for a variety of purposes is
generating only more data. Our ability to manage, mine, analyze, and
visualize the data is fundamental to the knowledge discovery
process. That is, the value of data at extreme scale can be fully
realized only if we have an end-to-end solution, which demands a
collective, inter-disciplinary effort to develop.

This new symposium, held in conjunction with VisWeek 2011, aims at
bringing together domain scientists, data analytics and visualization
researchers, and users, and fostering the needed exchange to develop
the next-generation data-intensive analysis and visualization
technology. Attendees will be introduced to the latest and greatest
research innovations in large data management, analysis, and
visualization, learn how these innovations impact data intensive
computing and knowledge discovery, and also learn about the critical
issues in creating a complete solution through both invited and
contributed talks, panel discussion, and a large data visualization
contest that provides massive data and supercomputing time to
contestants. Paper submissions are solicited for a long paper event
that describes large data visualization techniques and systems, and a
short paper event for practitioners to describe and present their
large data visualization applications. Topic emphasis is on
algorithms, languages, systems and hardware that supports the analysis
and visualization of large data.

There are a variety of ways to participate in LDAV 2011 -- papers,
posters, and a vis contest.  For details, please see http://www.ldav.org.

We hope to see you there!

Paper Submission Deadline: April 14, 2011 (Abstracts due April 7th)
Poster Submission Deadline: July 15h, 2011
Contest Submission Deadline: July 29, 2011
