Call for Papers

Scope

We invite short (4-page) papers that highlight achievements, challenges, and best practices in using interactive visual workflows to accelerate science and engineering at scale, including action-oriented proposals as well as position and experience reports. Areas of interest for IVW include, but are not limited to, the following.

Platforms and Ecosystems for Interactive Workflows

Frameworks and environments that support building, sharing, and running high-performance, AI-enabled visual workflows.

Concepts, Methods, and Practices for Visual Workflows

Emerging patterns and methods for designing and operating high-performance, AI-augmented visual workflows in science and engineering.

Applied Case Studies: Simulation, Experimentation, and Observation

Real-world uses of interactive visual workflows, HPC, and AI in simulations, experiments, and observational studies.

Enabling Technologies: HPC, AI, Data, and Networks

The compute, data, networking, and AI technologies that make scalable interactive visual workflows possible.

Human Experience and Access: Usability, UX, and Inclusive Facilities

Interfaces, practices, and programs that broaden who can effectively use HPC, AI, and advanced visualization.

Reproducibility Initiative

For the Interactive Visual Workflows workshop, we align with SC's Reproducibility Initiative by treating artifact sharing and re-execution as core expectations. In addition to the paper, authors will provide a brief artifact description outlining key software, data, and workflow elements, with links to any available artifacts and enough information to support practical re-running or inspection of central results in the spirit of SC's AD/AE guidelines.
