APVIS
2006 Program
Call for Participation
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Authors are invited to submit papers describing original and unpublished research.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
- Visual interfaces, systems and environments for human activities, e.g. collaboration, creation, management, etc.
- Usability and human factors in visualization
- Case studies and evaluation techniques
Submission Guidelines
Authors are requested to prepare their contribution as a full paper. Papers should
be a maximum of 10 pages. All papers must be submitted through the online
conference management system, no later than September 30, 2005. Contributions
must be packed in a single PDF file.
Financial Assistance
Young researchers and graduate students who present papers at APVIS2006 are eligible
for consideration for financial assistance. The assistance will be given to good
quality papers and is awarded by the program committee prior to APVIS 2006. The
assistance covers the accommodation and/or local expences.
To apply for financial assistance, please indicate your hope for financial assistance
and include the following information in the form of "Remark / Message to
the Conference Chairs" when you submit your contribution.
- Name
- Date of birth
- Affiliation
- Brief biography
- Reason to hope for financial assistance
We will inform of a detailed procedure later. It is necessary to submit formal
application from your supervisor.
Publication
Submitted papers will be refereed and the accepted submissions will be in the
official proceedings of the symposium. After the symposium, selected papers
will be recommended for publications in a special issue of a journal. Authors
of accepted papers must guarantee that their paper will be presented at the
conference.
The symposium proceedings will be published by the Australian Computer Society
Inc. as Volume 60 of the Conference in Research and Practice in Information
Technology (CRPIT) Series. Please refer to the CRPIT
web site for directions on the Paper

Invited Speakers
Prof. Kwan-Liu Ma(Department of Computer Science, University
of California, Davis)
TITLE : Cyber Security Through Visualization
Professor Ma's research spans the fields of visualization, computer graphics,
and high performance computing. His goal is to advance the state of the art in
data visualization technology. Professor Ma received his PhD in computer science
from the University of Utah in 1993. During 1993-1999, he was with ICASE at the
NASA Langley Research Center as a research scientist. In 1999, he joined University
of California at Davis. In the following year, Professor Ma received the Presidential
Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) for his work in large
data visualization. Professor Ma is leading research projects in parallel rendering,
volume modeling and visualization, artistically inspired illustrations, visual
interface designs, and information visualization. He has been actively participating
in several national-scale research programs sponsored by the US National Science
Foundation and Department of Energy. He recently organized a workshop on Visualization
for Computer Security (VizSEC 2005) co-located with the Visualization 2005 Conference,
as well as the workshop on Time-Varying Data Visualization held in conjunction
with the Supercomputing 2005 Conference. He is also the guest editor of a special
issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications on Visualization for Cyber Security.

Prof. KUROKAWA Taketo (Department of Design, Kanazawa College of
Arts)
"The 100th anniversary Nanao Port opening of a port memory
monument"
Prof. Taketo Kurokawa is not only one of the famous environmental designers, artists
but also researchers in design history in Japan. He has experience as a car designer
of Mitsubishi Heavy Industry Co. Ltd after the graduation of the Tokyo National
University of Fine Arts and Music. He has been engaged in a design study and education
in Kanazawa College of Arts from 1968. Afterwards he plays an active part globally
in a field of a design study and work production. In 1982, he researched about
"aesthetics consideration (subsidized by the Ministry of Education) of a
scene factor". He shifted a field of a study and work production to a space
design domain afterwards. In our country, he is one to lead in the field of space
design. He is a vice-chairperson of a Japanese society for the Science of Design
from 1998.
