&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;BigVis 2020 :: 3rd International Workshop on Big Data Visual Exploration and Analytics&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;Home: https://bigvis.imsi.athenarc.gr/bigvis2020 &amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
Held in conjunction with the 23rd Intl. Conference on Extending Database Technology &amp;amp; 23rd Intl. Conference on Database Theory (EDBT/ICDT 2020) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this respect, several traditional problems from these communities such as efficient data storage, querying &amp;amp; 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 overplotting. 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 &amp;amp; Mining, Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction and highlight novel works that bridge together these communities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

BigVis 2020 Call for Papers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;b&amp;gt;BigVis 2020 :: 3rd International Workshop on Big Data Visual Exploration and Analytics&amp;lt;/b&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
https://bigvis.imsi.athenarc.gr/bigvis2020&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
Held in conjunction with the 23rd Intl. Conference on Extending Database Technology &amp;amp; 23rd Intl. Conference on Database Theory (EDBT/ICDT 2020) &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In this respect, several traditional problems from these communities such as efficient data storage, querying &amp;amp; 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 overplotting. 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.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 &amp;amp; Mining, Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction and highlight novel works that bridge together these communities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div&gt;BigVis 2019 Call for Papers&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BigVis 2019 :: 2nd International Workshop on Big Data Visual Exploration and Analytics&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Home: https://bigvis.imsi.athenarc.gr/bigvis2019&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Held in conjunction with the  22nd Intl. Conference on Extending Database Technology &amp;amp; 22nd Intl. Conference on Database Theory (EDBT/ICDT 2019), Lisbon, Portugal&lt;br /&gt;
   &lt;br /&gt;
      &lt;br /&gt;
In the Big Data era, the growing availability of a variety of massive datasets presents challenges and opportunities to not only corporate data analysts but also others, such as research scientists, data journalists, policy makers, SMEs, and individual data enthusiasts datasets are typically: accessible in a raw format that are not being loaded or indexed in a database (e.g., plain text, json, rdf), dynamic, dirty and heterogeneous in nature. The level of difficulty in 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. The purpose of visual data exploration is to facilitate information perception and manipulation, knowledge extraction and inference by non-expert users. Interactive visualization, used in a variety of modern systems, provides users with intuitive means to interpret and explore the content of the data, identify interesting patterns, infer correlations and causalities, and supports sense-making activities that are not always possible with traditional data analysis techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Big Data era, several challenges arise in the field of data visualization and analytics. First, the modern exploration and visualization systems should offer scalable data management techniques in order to efficiently handle billion objects datasets, limiting the system response in a few milliseconds. Besides, nowadays systems must address the challenge of on-the-fly scalable visualizations over large and dynamic sets of volatile raw data, offering efficient interactive exploration techniques, as well as mechanisms for information abstraction, sampling and summarization for addressing problems related to visual information overplotting. 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 enable users to gain value and insights out of the data as rapidly as possible, minimizing the role of IT-expert in the loop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
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 &amp;amp; Mining, Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction and highlight novel works that bridge together these communities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

One the major challenges of the Big Data era is that it has realized the availability of a great amount and variety of massive datasets for analysis by non-corporate data analysts, such as research scientists, data journalists, policy makers, SMEs and individuals. A major characteristic of these datasets is that they are: accessible in a raw format that are not being loaded or indexed in a database (e.g., plain text, json, rdf), dynamic, dirty and heterogeneous in nature. The level of difficulty in 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. The purpose of visual data exploration is to facilitate information perception and manipulation, knowledge extraction and inference by non-expert users. The visualization techniques, used in a variety of modern systems, provide users with intuitive means to interactively explore the content of the data, identify interesting patterns, infer correlations and causalities, and supports sense-making activities that are not always possible with traditional data traditional data analysis techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Big Data era, several challenges arise in the field of data visualization and analytics. First, the modern exploration and visualization systems should offer scalable data management techniques in order to efficiently handle billion objects datasets, limiting the system response in a few milliseconds. Besides, nowadays systems must address the challenge of on-the-fly scalable visualizations over large and dynamic sets of volatile raw data, offering efficient interactive exploration techniques, as well as mechanisms for information abstraction, sampling and summarization for addressing problems related to visual information overplotting. 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 enable users to gain value and insights out of the data as rapidly as possible, minimizing the role of IT-expert in the loop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This special issue aims to publish work on multidisciplinary research areas spanning from Data Management and Mining to Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction. In addition to the normal submissions, the special issue also considers to select some of the best papers (substantially extended and re-reviewed) from the International Workshop on Big Data Visual Exploration and Analytics (held in conjunction with the 21th Intl.

&lt;br /&gt;
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 &amp;amp; Mining, Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction and highlight novel works that bridge together these communities.&lt;br /&gt;

*&#039;&#039;&#039;Paper Submission Deadline:&#039;&#039;&#039; August 1, 2018 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;br /&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
One the major challenges of the Big Data era is that it has realized the availability of a great amount and variety of massive datasets for analysis by non-corporate data analysts, such as research scientists, data journalists, policy makers, SMEs and individuals. A major characteristic of these datasets is that they are: accessible in a raw format that are not being loaded or indexed in a database (e.g., plain text, json, rdf), dynamic, dirty and heterogeneous in nature. The level of difficulty in 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. The purpose of visual data exploration is to facilitate information perception and manipulation, knowledge extraction and inference by non-expert users. The visualization techniques, used in a variety of modern systems, provide users with intuitive means to interactively explore the content of the data, identify interesting patterns, infer correlations and causalities, and supports sense-making activities that are not always possible with traditional data traditional data analysis techniques.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
In the Big Data era, several challenges arise in the field of data visualization and analytics. First, the modern exploration and visualization systems should offer scalable data management techniques in order to efficiently handle billion objects datasets, limiting the system response in a few milliseconds. Besides, nowadays systems must address the challenge of on-the-fly scalable visualizations over large and dynamic sets of volatile raw data, offering efficient interactive exploration techniques, as well as mechanisms for information abstraction, sampling and summarization for addressing problems related to visual information overplotting. 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 enable users to gain value and insights out of the data as rapidly as possible, minimizing the role of IT-expert in the loop.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
This special issue aims to publish work on multidisciplinary research areas spanning from Data Management and Mining to Information Visualization and Human-Computer Interaction. In addition to the normal submissions, the special issue also considers to select some of the best papers (substantially extended and re-reviewed) from the International Workshop on Big Data Visual Exploration and Analytics (held in conjunction with the 21th Intl. Conference on Extending Database Technology &amp;amp; 21th Intl. Conference on Database Theory - EDBT/ICDT 2018) available here: http://bigvis2018.imis.athena-innovation.gr/&lt;br /&gt;
