CALL FOR POSTERS
===================

IEEE Symposium on Large-Scale Data Analysis and Visualization (LDAV)

VisWeek 2012 in Seattle, Washington

October 14-15, 2012

Website: http://www.ldav.org/
------------------------------------------

We invite you to submit unpublished work to the LDAV poster program. The poster program is a venue designed to highlight ongoing research and late breaking topics that have produced promising preliminary results. In addition to the topics listed below, we also welcome submissions that showcase successful stories of applying visualization to large-scale data intensive applications . The poster program will be a great opportunity for the authors to interact with the symposium attendees and solicit feedback.

All posters should be directly related to collection, analysis, manipulation or visualization of large-scale data. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:
	-	Data collection, management and curation
	-	Novel, extreme or innovative methods for understanding and interacting with data
	-	Streaming methods for analysis, collection and visualization
	-	Advanced hardware for data handling or visualization
	-	Collaboration or co-design of data analysis with domain scientists
	-	Distributed or Multi-threaded approaches
	-	MapReduce-based methods, algorithms or approaches
	-	Hierarchical data storage, retrieval or rendering
	-	Novel interaction techniques specific to large data
	-	Topics in cognitive issues specific to manipulating and understanding large data
	-	Case studies (4 pages is sufficient)
	-	Industry solutions for large data

Interested authors should submit a two-page abstract that describes the underlying problem, the proposed method, and preliminary results. We are working towards including the accepted poster abstracts as part of the proceedings. The format of the abstract will be the same as the format used for the regular paper submission. Poster authors are encouraged, but not required, to include a draft or sketch of the poster layout and content in their submission to help reviewers and show that the poster format is being used effectively. This should be in PDF format. The authors should indicate if the poster will be accompanied by an on-site demonstration and/or videos.

Poster Submission Deadline: July 15, 2012
