Information Visualization Theory and Applications (IVAPP 2020)

Dear Colleagues,

This Special Issue will feature a selection of carefully revised and extended papers to be presented at the 11th International Conference on Information Visualization Theory and Applications (IVAPP 2020), to be held in Valletta, Malta, 27–29 February, 2020. IVAPP aims to become a major point of contact between researchers, engineers, and practitioners in information visualization. The conference covers a broad range of topics related to information visualization indicated by the topic list below. Papers describing advanced prototypes, systems, tools, and techniques as well as general survey papers indicating future directions are also encouraged.

Selected papers that were presented at the conference are invited to be submitted as extended versions to this Special Issue of the journal Information after the conference.

The conference paper should be cited and noted on the first page of the paper; authors are asked to disclose that it is a conference paper in their cover letter and include a statement on what has been changed compared to the original conference paper. Each submission to this journal issue should contain at least 50% new material, e.g., in the form of technical extensions, more in-depth evaluations, or additional use cases. All submitted papers will undergo our standard peer-review procedure. Accepted papers will be published in open access format in Information and collected together on this Special Issue website.
