InfoVis 2007

The IEEE Information Visualization 2007 contest submission deadline is Friday, July 13, for InfoVis 2007 Conference in October.

The contest participation category was introduced in 2003. The goal of the contest is to promote the development of benchmarks for information visualization, establish a forum to promote evaluation methods, and create an interesting event at the conference. Following the 2006 contest involving U.S. Census Data, we have chosen a widely analyzed and familiar data set with which to challenge the InfoVis community.

The data set consists of about Hollywood movies including actors, actresses, awards, and similar. This year's focus is on the design aspects of the visualization in addition to its exploratory and analytical aspects, and entrants are encourages to augment the data set with any publicly available data.
