Call for Papers Workshop on New Paradigms in Information Visualization and Manipulation November 13-14, 1997 Las Vegas, Nevada In Conjunction with the ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge Management (CIKM'97) The CIKM'97 Workshop on New Paradigms in Information Visualization and Manipulation will be a forum for presentation and discussion of new ideas and techniques for accessing, visualizing and manipulating information. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to: applications of virtual reality, including VRML; shared virtual environments and simulations; dynamic data visualization; visualization of multidimensional information spaces; visualization of large, dynamic information collections; applications of Internet tools such as MUDs, MOOs, and IRCs; document and corpus metrics; multi-modal information displays; visual data mining and knowledge discovery; Web or network-based visualization; applications in document analysis software and hardware architectures to support information visualization; and social interaction in multi-user information visualization systems. We are particularly interested in reports of work in progress, implementation techniques, and practical experience with visualization of information collections of all sizes. A significant portion of the workshop agenda will be devoted to discussion of pending research questions, and directions for future work in this area. Prospective participants are invited (but not required) to submit position papers. The suggested maximum length is four pages. The position papers will be reviewed by the organizing committee, and accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Some of the accepted papers will be selected for informal presentation at the workshop. Accepted papers that were submitted electronically will be available via WWW by early November. Final Proceedings will be published by ACM Press after the workshop. See the Web page for further information about preparation of camera-ready copy for accepted papers. Mail papers in either ASCII or HTML to ebert@cs.umbc.edu by September 20, 1997. We prefer e-mail submissions, but authors who lack e-mail access may send papers to Dr. David Ebert, Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, University of Maryland Baltimore County, Baltimore, MD 21250 USA. Submissions should include the title, author(s), author's affiliation, e-mail address, fax number and postal address. In case of multiple authors, please indicate which author is responsible for correspondence.
