Analytics
(

Call for Papers
Submission Deadline: 31.10.2011
*** Overview ***
The Journal of Multimedia Processing and Technologies (JMPT) aims to
provide a multi-disciplinary forum to present and discuss theory and
research, development, architectures, networking, system support tools
and applications as well as case studies of multimedia and hypermedia.
It also features experimental and survey articles. It seeks to fill
the gap that exists between several fields and communities such as
image processing, video processing, audio analysis, information
retrieval and understanding, data management and mining, security, and
education.
The special issue on Theory and Application of Visual Analytics will
collect theoretical advances and practical applications of Visual
Analytics for semantic and multimedia systems.
Visual Analytics is the science of analytical reasoning supported by
interactive visual techniques. It integrates techniques from
visualization and computer graphics, statistics and mathematics, data
management and knowledge representation, data analysis and machine
learning and cognitive and perceptual sciences. Real-world
applications in areas like multimedia retrieval, media analysis or
investigation of semantic graphs require efficient access and analysis
of massive, heterogeneous, dynamic knowledge repositories which
frequently contain ambiguous or conflicting evidence . Visual
Analytics advocates a promising combination of automatic analysis and
human pattern recognition abilities and domain knowledge to address
this challenge.
We encourage submission of original research papers reporting on
theoretical advances, evaluation results or applications of Visual
Analytics in relevant real-world scenarios. All submissions will be
peer reviewed by a board of international experts.
*** Topics ***
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
• Visual representations and interaction techniques
• Visualisation of search results, e.g. in multimedia corpora
• Visualisation of knowledge structures, e.g. semantic graphs
• Visualisation of temporal and spatial data
• Human computer interfaces for knowledge and information
visualisation
• New display and interaction technologies, i.e. multitouch and
stereoscopic 3D
• Analytical reasoning support, i.e. discourse and collaborative
visualization
• Data management and knowledge representations
• Data analysis and machine learning
• Knowledge relationship discovery
• Cognitive and perceptual factors in Visual Analytics
• Empirical studies of Visual Analytics techniques
• Evaluation of Visual Analytics techniques
• Application reports, i.e. success stories or stories on
spectacular failures
