DAViz Symposium Theme -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Design and Aesthetics in Visualisation This symposium aims to bring
together researchers and practitioners of design, art and related
disciplines. The goal is to share their stories and experiences on how the
needs and goals of both users and businesses are met through information
visualisation. It supports the publication of
research in two general domains: Design and Aesthetics. Design refers to the
development of visualisation as a creative design process. Aesthetics refers
to the role of user experience in visualisation, as understood in three
distinct components: aesthetic experience, experience of meaning, and
emotional experience. This symposium presents an
opportunity to explore these issues and their consequences for the field of
information visualization. In particular, we encourage the submission of
design critiques; case studies, possibly with accompanying evaluation studies
or critical reflections; position papers; or reports on the impact that
visualization research or visualization use has had on the work and life of
people. In this context, the story of failures or abandoned approaches can be
as informative as descriptions of success. The fields of application are
open, and can reach from traditional screen-based graphs, over innovative
multi-touch interfaces, to dynamic media architecture displays. Domain 1: Design The development of novel visualization methods is inevitably accompanied with an extensive process of designing, with or without the active participation of users. Informed decisions have to be made ranging from the exact representation of the visualisation metaphor, to the detailed smoothing of data curves. However, there is still a lack in the field of information visualisation research of generalized design knowledge, with the aim to inform future generations of visualisation developers of the current best of practice, theories and guidelines. Domain 2: Aesthetics As visualization is becoming a communication medium in its own right, more research is required in the aspect of user experience, in terms of aesthetics, meaning and the emotional response of users. In particular, the qualitative aspects of user experience in information visualisation suffer from a lack of study beyond the traditional effectiveness and efficiency measurements of usability testing. While the "look and feel" of information systems is recognized (but often overlooked) as an important intrinsic quality, the role of aesthetics relevant to information visualization tools is still poorly understood. In that context, we are also interested in soliciting for detailed reports on the real-world usage of visualisation, the effects it had on users, and the role of the design reasoning in this context.
