TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to

• Visual representations and interaction techniques
• Data management and knowledge representation
• Data analysis and machine learning
• Cognitive and perceptual aspects
• Infrastructure and Evaluation
• Applications, as far as they are strictly related to visual analytics.
