Visualization has become an integral part in a wide array of application areas, and papers are solicited both for original visualization research and for the application of visualization towards the understanding of domain-specific data. The papers presented at IEEE Visualization Conferences collectively represent the most significant and comprehensive collection of technical advances in Visualization with a high level of originality, rigor and impact. In addition to papers in the traditional core visualization areas, submissions are also sought in emerging topics as listed in the call for papers as well as challenging new applications (security, microscopy) and interesting and salient case studies derived from the scientific, engineering and transactional domains.
