CFPFrom: George GrinsteinSubject: VAST 2006 - Visual analytics contest A tale of Alderwood www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/VASTcontest06 The VAST Contest is a participation category of the IEEE VAST 2006 Symposium http://conferences.computer.org/vast/vast2006/. It continues in the footsteps of the InfoVis contests with its purpose to promote the development of benchmarks for visual analytics and establish a forum to advance evaluation methods. The dataset consists mostly of news stories from Alderwood's city newspaper, along with some multimedia materials and background information. The goal is to determine if inappropriate activities are taking place and to provide evidence based hypotheses and conclusions. Participants will have several months to prepare their submissions. Selected entries will present at the conference, and some teams will be invited to participate in a special workshop before the conference, during which professional analysts will interact with the winners' systems and provide personal feedback.
