                      CALL FOR PAPERS: WebVis '99
======================================================================


                      International Workshop on

                 Web-Based Information Visualization

        http://www.informatik.uni-konstanz.de/swe/WebVis99.html




                       in conjunction with the 

                   10th International Conference on 
          Database and Expert Systems Applications (DEXA'99)

              Florence, Italy, August 30 - September 3, 1999

  Workshop proceedings to be published by IEEE Computer
Society Press


Information visualization combines aspects of scientific
visualization,
human-computer interaction, data mining, imaging and graphics.
It
focuses on information which is often abstract. This means that
many
interesting classes of information have no natural and obvious
physical
metaphors for representing information and to understand which
analytical tasks they support. 
The largest information space is perhaps the World Wide Web,
which
contains millions of pages. Information visualization in this domain
enables users to get information quickly, put it in a meaningful
shape,
and to make decisions in a short time. Web-based information
visualization describes visualization applications that use the
Web as
an information source, a delivery mechanism for visualization, or
both. 

The aim of this workshop is to bring together researchers and
practitioners who are working in key technology areas of
Information
Visualization in order to discuss recent research findings and
address
complementary research and development issues. Of particular
interest
are papers describing different visualization techniques to make
use of
the information available in the net or how Web-techniques can
be used
to visualize information 

Topics of interest include but are not limited to:

   - Web as new medium for visualization 
   - Web-based visualization techniques (e.g., providing
interactive
     views of environmental data on the WWW) 
   - Typical taxonomies of information visualization (e.g., data,
tasks) 
   - Web-based development tools for visualization (e.g., VRML,
Java) 
   - Web-based visualization for data analysis (e.g., structured or
     unstructured data) 
   - Visualization examples: 
     * hierarchical information (e.g., web structures), 
     * networks (Web-based network traffic monitoring tool) 
     * content-based document clustering (e.g., clustering
documents
       into an information space based on their content) 
     * visualization of  Web search results 
     * information space metaphors 
   - Database management and information retrieval oriented
enabling
     technologies supporting information visualization on the Web 
   - Enabling technologies supporting the integration of
Web-based
     information visualization and Web-based multimedia 
   - Information visualization supporting Web technologies (e.g.,
how
     information visualization can make the Web easier to use) 
   - Usage and user-centered Web-based information
visualization (e.g.,
     how to make information visualization more useful) 

The papers must clearly show how the technical solutions
described
contribute to the area of web-based information visualization.

SUBMISSION DETAILS

Authors are invited to submit research contributions representing
original, unpublished work. Submitted papers will be evaluated
based on
originality, significance, technical soundness, and clarity of
presentation. All papers will be refereed by at least three
members of
the program committee. Accepted papers will be published by
IEEE
Computer Society Press as proceedings of the DEXA'99
workshops. All
submitted papers should not be longer than 10 pages (5000

IEEE author guidelines will be sent to each author after the
acceptance
of the paper.

Electronic Submission

ONLY EMAIL SUBMISSIONS of full and abstract papers in
Postscript or PDF
format will be accepted.
Please send also an abstract (no more than 250 words in ASCII
text) of
the paper via email including the title of the paper, the names of
the
author(s) and keywords. The title page must include the name
and email
address of the contact author.
