APVIS 2006
Asia Pacific Symposium on Information Visualization 2006
(Formerly known as Invis.au)

February 1 - 3, 2006, Tokyo, Japan
http://www.vogue.is.uec.ac.jp/apvis2006/

Information visualization is an indispensable tool in the information
and knowledge driven society that has already started. It helps to 
tackle the increasing size and complexity of data in a wide range of 
applications.

Examples of application domains include capital markets, data mining,
software development, communication, logistics, social networks, 
knowledge management and bioinformatics. The discipline includes 
elements of many fields, including human-computer interaction, computer 
graphics, cognitive psychology, statistics, graphic design, algorithms, 
virtual and augmented reality, and software engineering.

The Asia Pacific Symposium on Information Visualization provides an
opportunity for the community of researchers in the Asia-Pacific region
to share the progress that has been made toward the fulfillment of this
promise with colleagues from other parts of the world.

Scope

Authors are invited to submit papers describing original and unpublished
research. The topics include, but are not limited to:

* Display and interaction devices
* Visual models, languages and representations
* Algorithms for visualization and graph drawing
* Interaction techniques and animation

e.g.,
collaboration, creation, management etc.
