Also this year the goal of the workshop is to promote and advance the combination and integration of visualization and analytics methods for the purpose of problem solving in a variety of application domains, including engineering, business, public policy, medicine, security, etc. EuroVA 2011 will be held on May 31st, 2011, in Bergen, Norway, co-located with the annual EuroVis 2011 Conference. The EuroVA 2011 program will include one invited speaker from research or industry as well as short paper presentations and posters.


Visual Analytics is the science of analytical reasoning supported by interactive visual techniques, which requires interdisciplinary science integrating techniques from visualization and computer graphics, statistics and mathematics, data management and knowledge representation, data analysis and machine learning, cognitive and perceptual sciences, and more.

TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to
* Visual representations and interaction techniques
* Data management and knowledge representation
* Data analysis and machine learning
* Cognitive and perceptual aspects
* Infrastructure and Evaluation
* Applications,
as far as they are strictly related to visual analytics.
