DMSVIVA2021 Call For Papers

Virtual Conference:

The DMSVIVA2021 conference will be held as a Virtual conference, similar to last year's conference.

Main Theme of Conference:

The main theme of the 27th International DMS Conference on Visualization and Visual Languages (DMSVIVA2021) is Extreme Visual Languages, which are visual languages that can communicate an integrated/holistic meaning of an application, a philosophy or even the entire spatial/temporal dimensions of a universe in a single or a few visual expressions.  An example is the aliens' visual language in the movie “The Arrival” where each visual sentence expresses the continuum of space and time.  Another example is a visual diagram illustrating the spread of Covid-19 in the world. A third example is the Ying/Yang icon that appears in the national flag of the Republic of Korea (and many other places).  A fourth example is the red flag. A natural extension to include sound and other media leads to Extreme Multimedia Languages. Papers are solicited on extreme visual and multimedia languages, both abbreviated as XVLs, including empirical and comparative studies of existing XVLs and the investigation of syntax, semantics, dynamics and application integration of existing and/or new XVLs and related topics. The conference organizers seek contributions of high quality papers, panels or tutorials, addressing any novel aspect of sentient multimedia systems that significantly benefits from the incorporation and/or integration of multimedia data (e.g., visual, audio, pen, voice, image, etc.), especially in visual languages and distance education technologies, for presentation at the conference and publication in the proceedings.

Selected Papers of DMSVIVA2021 will be published in special issue of JVLC.

Co-Located Virtual Conference:

The Int’l Conference on Software Engineering and Knowledge Engineering (SEKE2021) will also be held as a virtual conference from July 1 to July 10, 2021. Please see: ksiresearchorg.org/seke/seke21.html.
