ABOUT
LEipzig symposium on Visualization In Applications (LEVIA) aims at bringing together visualization scholars from all research areas related to visualization. The focus of the symposium is to shed a light on different application areas that enable scientific knowledge discovery with visualizations. The program will be structured along several visualization application areas.
LEVIA18
CALL FOR PAPERS
Means of visualization are widely used in diverse application domains to analyze data, to facilitate hypothesis verification and generation, to derive new data, and to discover trends, outliers and data-dependent features. Collaborative aspects between visualization scholars and domain experts as well as design studies and the development of novel visualization techniques that shed a new light on known data objects are in the scope of the symposium. We welcome papers describing original work, i.e. hitherto unpublished scientific or information visualization research. Suggested application domains include, but are not limited to:
- bioinformatics
- business and finance
- digital humanities
- earth, space, and environmental sciences
- geovisualization
- material sciences
- molecular, biomedical, and medical visualization
- multimedia visualization (image/video/music)
- physical sciences and engineering
- social and information sciences
- software visualization
- text visualization
- urban science
- visual analytics
- visualization for the masses
Submissions
Papers are only accepted in English, they should be carefully checked for correct grammar and spelling, and authors should address one or several application domains of visualization. Papers will be reviewed by at least three experts in the field. In order to facilitate a double-blind paper evaluation method, we kindly request authors to submit their paper without any explicit reference to any of the authors. Please make sure that submissions do not substantially overlap work which has been published elsewhere or simultaneously submitted to a journal or another conference with proceedings. In such a case, papers will be rejected without reviews. LEVIA calls for long papers (up to 8 pages + 1 page for references) and short papers (up to 4 pages + 1 page for references). Accepted long papers will receive a long talk slot (25 min. talk + 5 min. for questions) while accepted short papers will receive a short talk slot (15 min. talk + 3 min. for questions).
Submission Page
The submission page for LEVIA'19 papers can be found via https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=levia19.
Paper Template
We accept papers from 4 up to 8 pages (+ 1 page for references) that have been prepared using this IEEE Journal and Conference Template.
Publication
All accepted papers will be long-term archived and made online available through the publication service of Leipzig University. The publications will be published under CC-BY-4.0 license, and each publication will receive a unique URN from the German National Library that can be used for citations.

OPENING KEYNOTE TALK

Seeing the Lost: Three Case Studies from Astrophysical Visualization Astrophysics can be regarded as the ultimate remote sensing because no one can travel to see the heavenly bodies far from Earth. Astronomers' only option is to observe and analyze the variety of signals emanating from these distant bodies. Such work can prompt them to develop greater enthusiasm for data visualization than those in other disciplines. Indeed, astrophysics relies heavily on observed data visualization and analysis. This talk provides an overview of the latest research results from three collaborative research projects with astronomers, which examine the asymmetric biclustering of multivariate data for correlated subspace mining and its application to type Ia supernovae, TimeTubes for visually extracting characteristic polarization variations from long sequences of observed blazar datasets, and aflak as a novel visual programming environment to tweak fine-grained transformations and visual analytics filtering for multispectral astrophysical observations. |

Visual Analytics for DH – Toward Scalable Visualizations In this talk I will give a short introduction to the field of digital humanities (DH) and highlight the important role of visualization for DH. After a brief overview of existing distant reading visualizations, I argue for the need of scalable reading for text analysis in DH and present possible visualization approaches. Going beyond distant reading, I show that scalable visualizations in the digital humanities are not only important for text-based analyses, but are also for image and video analysis. Accordingly, I present a multimodal approach for the scalable viewing of movies that makes use of image data (keyframes), structural data (shots and scenes) and movie dialogs (scripts and subtitles). |
