8th
International Symposium Knowledge
Visualization and Visual Thinking, KV2012 |

Introduction In an increasingly complex world, Knowledge
Visualization and Visual Thinking are gaining importance in all areas of science,
business and society. Analogue and digital visual approaches aim to support
the creation, application and communication of knowledge and insights –
particularly in situations where people from different educational, cultural
and professional backgrounds collaborate. Whilst Information Visualization (IV)
focuses on the use of computer-based tools to explore large data sets,
Knowledge Visualization (KV) and Visual Thinking investigate (a) how to
create and transfer insights between individuals and within groups, (b) how
to manage and reduce complexity and to allow understanding, and (c) how to
support learning, communication and interaction through new approaches and
techniques. Knowledge Visualization aims to facilitate the
mutual transfer of facts, insights, experiences, values, expectations,
perspectives, opinions and predictions. Researchers and practitioners in the
domains of Knowledge Visualization and Visual Thinking develop strategies,
tools and methods to make knowledge visible and to improve processes through
which knowledge can be identified, accessed, assessed, shared, discussed,
applied and generally managed. Objective The Symposium on Knowledge Visualization and
Visual Thinking is an international, interdisciplinary forum for
contributions from fields such as Knowledge Management and Visualization,
Information Design and Architecture, Cognitive Science, Argument Mapping,
Business Sketching, Visual Analytics, Arts, Interface Design, Business
Analysis, Project Management, Economics, Market Research, Learning Sciences,
Media and Communication Studies. The joint aim is to address and discuss
theories, methodologies, techniques, applications, evaluations and case
studies related to the visualization of knowledge and to processes which
involve visual thinking. Scope This call for papers seeks original papers
and contributions concerning, but not limited to: •
Theories,
frameworks and models of knowledge visualization and all aspects of visual
thinking •
Systems, methods
and ideas on the evaluation of visualization methods and on conveying
un-/intended inferences (e.g. why do visualizations fail, even misrepresent,
misinform, mislead etc) •
Research on the
economic and social impact of visualizations (e.g. efficiency, meaning,
policy, cross-cultural) •
Case studies on
innovations in the visualization of knowledge, particularly in the area of
‘Complexity Management’ (e.g. visualizing complex change
projects) •
Experiences on
the use of visual metaphors in science, business, politics and society •
Evaluations in
the area of marketing and management support (e.g. abstract services in
business, strategy implementation etc) •
Research on the
use of visual methods to communicate complex facts (e.g. nanotechnology to
the general public, use of visualizations in media, in urban planning as to
future cities, in general simulation etc) •
Models and
applications for infrastructures using interactive touch-displays (e.g. large
multi-touch displays) •
Experiences on
the use of live sketching to facilitate knowledge sharing and integration Further Information and Contact KV2012 is part of the 16th International
Conference on Information Visualisation (IV2012), 11-13 July 2012,
LIRMM/CNRS, University of Montpellier 2, France.
