Let’s Take a Brief Look Back to IEEE VIS 2017

Every year in autumn, researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry come together at IEEE VIS to explore their shared interests in tools, techniques, and technology. Among them, there was also a group of visual computing researchers from the Universities of Stuttgart and Konstanz. They visited this scientific meeting to present their newest insights and developments in the field of Visual Computing. In this blog post you find a list of the their publications presented to the international community.

Intensive Exchange about Uncertainty Visualization in Konstanz

In July 2017 I joined the workshop Uncertainty Visualization – From Uncertain Data to Uncertainty Theory at the University of Konstanz. The aim of the workshop was to discuss the possibility to quantify the extend of perceived uncertainty transported by a visualisation.

China-Germany Visualization Workshop in Qingdao

The ChinaVis 2017 conference took place Qingdao from July 17th till July 19th and was hosted in the coastal city of Qingdao in the Shandong Provence. On July 16th, one day prior to the conference the China-Germany Visualization Workshop took place. The purpose of this workshop is to foster the collaboration between research groups in this field from China and Germany.

Presenting HistoBankVis at NoDaLiDa 2017

This year, the Nordic Conference on Computational Linguistics (NoDaLiDa) took place from 22-24th May in Gothenburg, Sweden. The 21st edition of NoDaLiDa was also the 40th anniversary of the conference which was celebrated by 184 participants from all over the world.

Provenance Research: On Tour in Seattle

The annual Workshop on Theory and Practice of Provenance (TaPP) gathers the international and interdisciplinary provenance community to present and discuss novel research and practical applications of provenance. This year, TaPP was hosted by the University of Washington in Seattle from June 22 to June 23, 2017.

Visual Analysis Insights at EuroVA in Barcelona

The 8th International EuroVis Workshop on Visual Analytics (EuroVA) has once again been a successful venue for Visual Analytics (VA) research. EuroVA was co-located with the EuroVis conference in Barcelona. The workshop stands for an open forum in which new researchers in the field and established seniors can discuss their latest contributions with a well-established audience.

A Question of Health: Eye-Head Coordination While Walking

In cooperation with the Robert Bosch Krankenhaus (RBK) in Stuttgart (Germany), we have analyzed eye-head coordination while walking in healthy participants and patients with neurodegenerative diseases. Proper coordination is essential for body balance and thus health. Injuries and other consequences from keeling over can impair quality of life massively. Often, old people never get on their feet again when breaking a leg or hip.

Netherlands – Video Coding and Processing Summer School

Organized by the RWTH Aachen University, together with the researchers from RWTH Aachen University, Leibniz University of Hannover, University of Bristol, etc., the 3dt Summer School on Video Compression and Processing (SVCP) was held at Abdij Rolduc (Kerkrade, Netherlands) from 3th to 5th July. In this three days’ summer school, people in the area of video coding and processing exchanged knowledge and ideas.

Virtual City Models – UBISS 2017 Workshop in Oulu, Finland

From June 12nd-17th, the 8th International UBI Summer School (UBISS) 2017 took place at the University of Oulu, Finland. The summer school comprised four parallel 6-day workshops. Prof. Norbert Haala and me from the University of Stuttgart visited Oulu as instructors of one of the four workshops – Virtual City Models.

Another Report from CHI 2017

In May we had the pleasure to attend this year’s CHI conference in Denver, Colorado, USA. ACM Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI) is the top conference for research on Human-Computer Interaction. It brings together thousands of international top researchers from academia as well as from industry. Several members of the University of Konstanz and the SFB-TRR 161 contributed in various ways to the conference.
