Due to popular demand, the deadline for PacificVis 2023 has been extended by two week.

PacificVis is a unified visualization symposium, welcoming all areas of visualization research such as information visualization, scientific visualization, graph and network visualization, visual analytics, and visualization applications in domains such as (but not limited to) biological sciences, education, machine learning, physical sciences, security, and social science. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and application papers in all areas of visualization. PacificVis 2023 will be held in Seoul, Korea on April 18-21, 2023. We encourage papers in any new, novel, and exciting research area that pertains to visualization.

All submitted papers will go through a two-stage review process to guarantee the publication of high-quality papers. All accepted papers will be presented orally at the conference and will also be published by IEEE and included in the IEEE Digital Library . Selected papers will be published directly in IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG) .

Submission

Papers are to be submitted online through the new Precision Conference System at the PacificVis 2023 Papers track.

Original, unpublished papers of up to ten (10) pages (two-column, single-spaced, 9 point font, including figures, tables, and references) are invited. Manuscripts must be written in English and follow the formatting guidelines . It is recommended (but not mandatory) to submit an anonymized version of your manuscript for double-blind review - in this case, please remove all author and affiliation information from submissions and supplemental files as well as substitute your paper’s ID number for the author name. Papers should be submitted electronically in Adobe PDF format. Please provide supplemental videos in QuickTime MPEG-4, and use TIFF, JPEG, or PNG for supplemental images.
