Description
The workshop
is suitable for researchers, practitioners, and graduate students in the
areas of information visualization, digital libraries, human-computer interaction,
library and information science, and computer science.
The primary aim of the workshop is to raise the awareness of several interconnected fields of research related to the design and use of visual interfaces to digital libraries, especially in information visualization, human-computer interaction, and cognitive psychology. This workshop also aims to stimulate participants to reflect on the state of the art in their own fields by identifying challenging issues concerning visual interfaces and thereby fostering a multidisciplinary research agenda for future research and development.
The workshop's objectives are:

Title:
Visualizing
On-line Activity
Presenter:
Stephen
G. Eick, Visual Insights,
steve.eick@visualinsights.com
Abstract:
The explosive growth on-line activity has established the e-channel as
a critical component of how institutions interact with their customers.
One of the unique aspects of this channel is the rich instrumentation where
it is literally possible to capture every visit, click, page view, purchasing
decision, and other fine-grained details describing visitor browsing patterns.
The problem is that the huge volume of relevant data overwhelms conventional
analysis tools. To overcome this problem, we have developed a sequence
of novel metaphors for visualizing website structure, paths and flow through
the site, website activity, and a click stream analysis tool called eBizInsights.
The useful aspect of our tools is that they provide a rich visual interactive
workspace for performing ad hoc analysis, discovering patterns, and identifying
correlations that are impossible to find with traditional non-visual tools.

Submission
& Selection
You are invited
to submit a 2-page position paper by May 1st.
The camera-ready
copy of accepted papers can be up to 6 pages long. Paper format of
accepted papers has to follow the guidelines in the ACM templates given
under 'Submissions' on the main JCDL webpage.
All submissions will be electronic (not in printed) and only in Postscript
or Adobe Acrobat. Please send a pdf file of your submission to visual@slis.indiana.edu.
If you don't receive an acknowledgment of your submission within 2 days
please contact katy@indiana.edu.
Full papers
for presentation will be selected by an international program committee
composed of leading researchers in this area in university, government,
and industry.
Workshop participants will be invited to produce an extended version of their work for publication in an edited book in the Springer Book Series on Information Visualization to provide a comprehensive coverage of the topic to a wider audience.
