We are co-organizing the International Symposium Visual Analytics and Data Science at the next International Information Visualisation Conference (iV 2022), which is held online. The Information Visualisation Conference (iV) is an international conference that aims to provide a foundation for integrating the human-centered, technological and strategic aspects of information visualization to promote international exchange, cooperation and development. The proceedings will be published as usual in IEEE Xplore.

Visual Analytics is the science of analytical reasoning empowered by interactive visualizations. The research on Visual Analytics is closely related to that of Data Science. Both areas seek to enhance the knowledge discovery process using machine learning, data mining, and artificial intelligence methods. In contrast, Visual Analytics allows direct manipulation of the underlying models through graphical representations commonly. By leveraging human perception of the visual space, patterns that might not otherwise be discovered emerge. Visual Analytics utilizes concepts from various disciplines, including computer graphics, information visualization, machine learning, artificial intelligence, knowledge discovery, cognition, and visual perception.

Papers on all aspects of Visual Analytics and Data Science are solicited. Papers will be refereed and appear in the main conference proceedings published by Conference Publishing Services CPS – Conference Publishing Services, – Library of Congress/ISSN, ISBN, and other bibliographical registration details; Arrange for indexing through INSPEC, EI (Compendex), Thomson ISI, and other indexing services. A selection of the best papers will be recommended for publication in special issues of scientific journals, or as an edited book.
