Symposium on Information
Visualization (InfoVis) 2004.
Workshop Chairs
- Jean-Daniel Fekete, INRIA Futurs, France (Author of The InfoVis Toolkit), Jean-Daniel.Fekete@inria.fr, Home page: http://www.lri.fr/~fekete/index.en.html

Description
Information visualization systems and toolkits are becoming available for a large range of visualization and interaction techniques and are used in diverse application domains. This workshop is aimed at gathering experts involved in building such infrastructures to share their views, understand the issues involved and trying to find ways to avoid fragmentation and improve collaborations.
To participate in the workshop, you should submit a semi-structured position paper explaining your view of what an infrastructure should provide, describe what you consider as the main challenges for such infrastructures and describe the capabilities of toolkits of systems you have already built, following a form available here by Sept 30th, 2004.
At the end of the workshop, the position papers as well as the minutes will be turned into a white paper describing the requirements and issues raised during the workshop, as well as the state of the art of existing information visualization software infrastructures.
