Papers are invited from researchers and practitioners with expertise and interest in information visualization, user interfaces for DLs, search/retrieval, human-computer interaction, interface design methodologies, and evaluation.

Voluminous and complex nature of information in digital libraries demands powerful means of human-computer interaction.  Advances in information visualization point to new possibilities for developing enhanced interfaces for improving retrieval, manipulation, and management of data stored in digital libraries.  The IVIRA workshop will cover both theoretical and experimental research on the development, usage, and evaluation of effective interfaces to digital libraries. Of particular interest is research that exploits visualization to support improved browsing, retrieval, analysis, and understanding of domains represented in digital libraries. Interfaces for the following types of resources are of special interest to this workshop: Textual documents (literature databases) Statistical data Multimedia or mixed-media data Geo-spatial data Genomics and proteomics data Time-variant or dynamic data

To increase awareness of the area of visual interfaces to DLs To identify new tools, techniques, and design methodologies for visual interfaces to DLs To learn about design approaches that support rich visualization functions in diverse systems ranging from desktops to mobile devices To develop frameworks, models, and theories of data access and management To provide a forum for generating new directions in research and development, identify funding sources, and support collaborations

You are invited to submit a position paper by May 5th, 2003. All submitted papers will be peer-reviewed. No late submissions will be accepted. IVIRA will accept electronic submissions in PDF format only. Papers should be no  longer than 2-6 pages and conform to the format specified in the template (see http://www.ils.unc.edu/jcdl2002/cfp.doc).   Please submit your paper as an attachment to: jm@indiana.edu.
