Invited Speakers
0ne successful data exploration—many explanations
Martin Krzywinski, Michael Smith Genome Science Centre
Abstract:
Without good practices in data exploration, we cannot have answers. Without good design practices, we cannot have good explanations of these answers. This is confounded by the fact that most answers are neither self-explanatory nor immediately obviously correct and as such their reception and impact is directly related to the quality of the explanation.
By now, most of us are familiar with the guidelines for visualization and the many human perception studies that can help us make good choices in encodings, colors, and type. The principles that underpin these choices are now generally well accepted and implemented in many applications. But although it is now easy to make a pile of plots, it is generally very challenging to determine how to sort through the pile to select and order a set for an engaging and expository data presentation.
The process of design, which is a kind of choreography for the page, can be of great help in assembling individual data visualizations into a cohesive explanation across many levels of detail. In the same way that visualizations are a way to organize data, design is a way to organize visualizations.
I will share with you my experiences in combining science, visualization and design to create explanations, promote engagement, inspire imagination and, where possible, provide visual support in the often vexing process of research.

The Changing Nature of Collaboration in Visualization
Sheelagh Carpendale, University of Calgary
Abstract:
As a visualization researcher, one is practically always collaborating. That is, we, who focus on visualizing data, generally do not generate data. Thus, we collaborate with those people who do generate data. Over the years, I have had many different collaboration experiences. Through these experiences, I have learned much - not only about different types of data but also about different types of collaboration. I will recount some of these collaboration variations, discussing how different ways of collaborating have led to different types of results. In particular, I am increasingly interested in immersive or trans-disciplinary collaboration and think that it is important for our research communities to more fully support these extensive collaborations.
Bio:
Sheelagh Carpendale is a Full Professor at the University of Calgary where she holds a Tier 1 Canada Research Chair in Information Visualization and an NSERC/AITF/SMART Industrial Research Chair in Interactive Technologies. She has many received awards including the E.W.R. NSERC STEACIE (a major national science award), a BAFTA (British equivalent of an Oscar); the Alberta ASTech Award, the Canadian Human Computer Communications Society Achievement Award, and was featured in Canada’s Science, Technology and Innovation Council - State of the Nation 2012 - report. Dr. Carpendale directs the Innovations in Visualization (InnoVis) research group and initiated the interdisciplinary graduate program, Computational Media Design. She is an internationally renowned leader in both information visualization and large display interaction. Her research focuses on information visualization, interaction design, and qualitative empirical research. By studying how people interact with information both in work and social settings, she works towards designing more natural, accessible and understandable interactive visual representations of data. She combines information visualization, visual analytics and human-computer interaction with innovative new interaction techniques to better support the everyday practices of people who are viewing, representing, and interacting with information.
