Visualization and Data Analysis (VDA 2015)

Since the first VDA conference was held in 1994, the annual event has grown steadily into a major venue for visualization researchers and practitioners from around the world to present their work and share their experience every year. We invite you to participate by submitting your original research as a full paper or a poster and join us in San Francisco, CA.

Both paper and poster submissions will be peer reviewed. Papers presented at this conference will be published in a bound proceedings published by IS&T/SPIE.

Since the term 'data visualization' was found in the literature in the early 90's, it has gradually evolved into a broad area of research and development. The data visualization Wikipedia page and its references provide a glimpse into its history of innovation and the latest cutting-edge technology.
