2020 ICA Workshop on Analytical Reasoning

Cartography, Visualization, Design


Date: Monday 14 September 2020

Location: University of Warsaw, Poland

It has been 15 years since visual analytics was first established as the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive maps and visualizations. Since then, new models have been proposed to understand cognitive reasoning processes, new technologies have been released to support interactive, mobile, and immersive mapping, and new methods have been developed to examine and evaluate user experiences with analytical support systems. We call for research papers in cartography, visualization, and allied design fields to capture the state-of-science on visuospatial analytical reasoning.

Analytical Reasoning goes beyond simply noticing a pattern, and invokes a complex set of processes that aim to explain what has been seen, or to predict what will happen next. Creating the conditions in which users are able to reason about spatial information is a difficult task, and there are many challenges to overcome. This workshop invites short reports on ongoing and emergent work that aims to tackle one of the many dimensions in cartography that relate to supporting analytical reasoning. Broadly speaking, we are seeking work that focuses on understanding users, their cognitive processes, and/or their interactions with visual representations and computational methods via maps or geographic visualization. We welcome research that tackles these and related problem areas through computational, representational, or contextual methodological lenses. This workshop will provide a forum in which new approaches and ideas can be discussed and where new research collaborations can be formed.


Early stage work is explicitly encouraged, especially by junior scholars or those who might be new to cartography.


This workshop represents the joint efforts of the University of Warsaw Department of Geoinformatics, Cartography, and Remote Sensing<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fgeoinformatics.uw.edu.pl%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ccfd147298c2c494f400a08d7b3a821ce%7Cd1323671cdbe4417b4d4bdb24b51316b%7C0%7C0%7C637175407074708103&sdata=wXx7qWWDOPCv%2BAM2UJAB4uDCq2r8J24hLZRKbejNP3E%3D&reserved=0> in collaboration with the International Cartographic Association Commissions on Cognitive Issues in Geographic Information Visualization<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcogvis.icaci.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ccfd147298c2c494f400a08d7b3a821ce%7Cd1323671cdbe4417b4d4bdb24b51316b%7C0%7C0%7C637175407074718098&sdata=Yz0dgvScfkYOsZucisajAZBNg%2BK1PhVmaen6fIq3N%2Fk%3D&reserved=0>, Visual Analytics<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fviz.icaci.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ccfd147298c2c494f400a08d7b3a821ce%7Cd1323671cdbe4417b4d4bdb24b51316b%7C0%7C0%7C637175407074718098&sdata=IZQ93qYDRMrbOV%2BfMfIV96lbvIWUyPPesBpauWigfKY%3D&reserved=0>, and User Experience (UX)<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fuse.icaci.org%2F&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ccfd147298c2c494f400a08d7b3a821ce%7Cd1323671cdbe4417b4d4bdb24b51316b%7C0%7C0%7C637175407074728094&sdata=Bw1xfDJJTklWqbP0ls995FhlW3ogj1ywUExDpyd9SX8%3D&reserved=0>.

FORMAT

We invite two kinds of contributions. First, we seek two-page short papers on completed research. Two-page short papers should be prepared using the CHI format<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fchi2013.acm.org%2Fauthors%2Fformat%2F%23extendedformat&data=02%7C01%7C%7Ccfd147298c2c494f400a08d7b3a821ce%7Cd1323671cdbe4417b4d4bdb24b51316b%7C0%7C0%7C637175407074728094&sdata=B50DsGuQUcWX%2FfzffmMuIoNxfMbgET80HETnfQMaC04%3D&reserved=0>, with accepted papers receiving 20 minutes for presentation and discussion. Second, we seek 150-word abstracts on work in progress or early graduate proposal ideas. Short abstracts will receive 5 minutes for a lightning talk presentation with discussion following all lightning talks. Select papers may be encouraged for expansion into a special journal issue, depending on participation.

Short papers and abstracts will be reviewed by two program committee members to gauge appropriateness for the workshop.
