BigVis 2021: 4th International Workshop on Big Data Visual
Exploration and Analytics
https://bigvis.imsi.athenarc.gr/bigvis2021
March 23, 2021, Nicosia, Cyprus
Held in conjunction with the 24th Intl. Conference on Extending
Database Technology & 24th Intl. Conference on Database Theory
(EDBT/ICDT 2021)
Information Visualization is nowadays one of the cornerstones of
Data Science, turning the abundance of Big Data being produced
through modern systems into actionable knowledge. Indeed, the Big
Data era has realized the availability of voluminous datasets that
are dynamic, noisy and heterogeneous in nature. Transforming a
data-curious user into someone who can access and analyze that
data is even more burdensome now for a great number of users with
little or no support and expertise on the data processing part.
Thus, the area of data visualization, visual exploration and
analysis has gained great attention recently, calling for joint
action from different research areas from the HCI, Computer
graphics and Data management and mining communities.
In this respect, several traditional problems from these
communities such as efficient data storage, querying &
indexing for enabling visual analytics, new ways for visual
presentation of massive data, efficient interaction and
personalization techniques that can fit to different user needs
are revisited. The modern exploration and visualization systems
should nowadays offer scalable techniques to efficiently handle
billion objects datasets, limiting the visual response in a few
milliseconds along with mechanisms for information abstraction,
sampling and summarization for addressing problems related to
visual information over-plotting. Further, they must encourage
user comprehension offering customization capabilities to
different user-defined exploration scenarios and preferences
according to the analysis needs. Overall, the challenge is to
offer self-service visual analytics, i.e. enable data scientists
and business analysts to visually gain value and insights out of
the data as rapidly as possible, minimizing the role of IT-expert
in the loop.
The BigVis workshop aims at addressing the above challenges and
issues by providing a forum for researchers and practitioners to
discuss, exchange, and disseminate their work. BigVis attempts to
attract attention from the research areas of Data Management &
Mining, Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction
and highlight novel works that bridge together these communities.
