It helps to tackle the increasing size and complexity of data in a wide range of applications. Examples of application domains include capital markets, data mining, software development, communication, logistics, social networks, knowledge management and bioinformatics. The discipline includes elements of many fields, including human-computer interaction, computer graphics, cognitive psychology, statistics, graphic design, algorithms, virtual and augmented reality, and software engineering. The Asia Pacific Symposium on Information Visualization provides an opportunity for the community of researchers in the Asia-Pacific region to share the progress that has been made toward the fulfillment of this promise with colleagues from other parts of the world. Scope Authors are invited to submit papers describing original and unpublished research. The topics include, but are not limited to: * Display and interaction devices * Visual models, languages and representations * Algorithms for visualization and graph drawing * Interaction techniques and animation * Visual interfaces, systems and environments for human activities, e.g., collaboration, creation, management etc. * Usability and human factors in visualization * Case studies and evaluation techniques Submission Guidelines Authors are requested to prepare their contribution as a full paper. Papers should be a maximum of 10 pages. All papers should be submitted electronically. Contributions must be packed in a single file.
