PacificVAST (Visual Analytics Science & Technology) 2013

Visual Analytics is the science of analytical reasoning supported by interactive visual techniques, which requires interdisciplinary science integrating techniques from visualization and computer graphics, statistics and mathematics, data management and knowledge representation, data analysis and machine learning, cognitive and perceptual sciences.

PacificVAST 2013 will be held on Feb 26, 2013 in Sydney, as a workshop of the annual PacificVis 2013 Conference.

The main goal of the workshop is to promote visual analytics research in Asia-Pacific region for solving problems arising in a variety of application domains such as business, science, engineering, biology, medicine and security. In particular, special emphasis on �Big Data� will be addressed.

The PacificVAST2013 program will consist of a series of invited presentations.
