We would like to thank all authors who submitted their work to EuroVA! This year, we received 17 submissions. Each submission was carefully reviewed by three expert reviewers from our international program committee. Based on the reviews, we could accept 9 papers unconditionally plus 4 conditionally. (Update: All 4 have been accepted finally.)
We are looking forward to an exciting workshop program at EuroVA 2017. The program outline will be posted soon.

EUROVA – DESCRIPTION
EuroVA 2017 is the eighth international EuroVis workshop on Visual Analytics.
It will take place June 12-13, 2017 in Barcelona, Spain.
Visual Analytics is a problem-solving and sense-making technology that integrates analytical computations, visual representations, and interaction. It includes the analysis of complex (massive, dynamic, ambiguous, conflicting, …) data and information for gaining understanding, building knowledge, and inferring insight. Visual Analytics aims at a synergistic collaboration of humans and computers mediated through interactive visual interfaces. As such, Visual Analytics is an interdisciplinary field of research, including aspects of visualization, human-computer interaction, statistics and mathematics, data management and knowledge representation, data analysis and machine learning, cognitive and perceptual sciences, and more.EuroVA 2017 is the best place to present and discuss ideas of new methods and theories, interesting applications, designs, and studies of the use of Visual Analytics methods and systems. The workshop will accept a range of paper types, including technique, system, application, evaluation and theory papers in the area of Visual Analytics.
CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
EuroVA is an established workshop to present and discuss new ideas, methods and theories, interesting applications and designs, and studies of the use of Visual Analytics in practice.
The workshop will accept three paper types:
- Research papers present new unpublished concepts, methods, or techniques
- Special session papers focus on a topic of particular topic of interest
- Position papers express relevant and potentially controversial standpoints
The workshop seeks to attract innovative, fresh ideas, not necessarily highly polished, but with high potential of becoming significant contributions to the Visual Analytics community.
Special Session on Interaction
Visual Analytics integrates the human in the loop. Interaction between the human and Visual Analytics methods and tools is essential for effective data exploration and analysis. EuroVA 2017 especially invites papers that focus on interaction in Visual Analytics. Topics of interest for the special session on interaction include but are not limited to:
- Interaction techniques for Visual Analytics
- Interface design for exploration and analysis
- New display environments and interaction modalities
- Guidance for Visual Analytics
- Syntax and semantics of interactions for data analysis activities
- Models of human-in-the-loop data analysis
- Collaborative Visual Analytics
Regular Topics
Regular topics of interest include but are not limited to:
- Visual representations of complex data
- Computational methods to support analysis tasks
- Data management, data provenance, and data uncertainty
- Theoretical foundations of Visual Analytics
- Cognitive and perceptual aspects
- Infrastructures and architectures for Visual Analytics systems and services
- Visual Analytics applications
- Evaluation of Visual Analytics techniques and procedures
Position Papers
Position papers are problem discussions or statements describing the author’s relevant experience and ideas in regards to Visual Analytics. Position papers will be selected according to their importance and relevance for the workshop topics and how well they will fit the planned discussions.
Important dates
Submission deadline: 27 February, 2017
Notification of acceptance: 27 March, 2017
Camera-ready deadline: 24 April, 2017
EuroVA workshop: 12-13 June, 2017
Submission guidelines
Papers, 4 pages in length + 1 extra page for references (maximum) must be prepared using the EuroVA LaTeX template, which can be downloaded here: egPublStyle-EuroVA2017.zip
Papers are to be submitted via PCS at: https://precisionconference.com/~eurova17
At least one author of an accepted paper must register and participate in the workshop to present the accepted work. The EuroVA 2017 Workshop Proceedings will be published by the Eurographics Association, and be stored on the Eurographics Digital Library.
