THE APPLICATION OF SPACE-TIME TRADE-OFFS IN INFORMATION VISUALIZATION
A one-day workshop of AVI2002
21 May 2002
Trento, Italy
A common problem in the design of information artefacts is how to present
large amounts of information within a restricted display area. Often the
available information cannot be presented simultaneously, even after all
items of information have been scaled to take up a minimum amount of space
in the display. In those cases, it is necessary to apply a space-time
trade-off in which only a subset of the information is presented at any one
time, but all of the information can be usefully explored within an
acceptably short time span. Examples of such visualisation techniques
include zooming interfaces such as the Hyperbolic Browser developed by
Lamping and colleagues for representing large amounts of hierarchically
organised information, and the FishEye Lens and Bifocal Displays for
presentation of more loosely organised information. Rapid Serial Visual
Presentation, or RSVP, offers another form of space-time trade-off, which is
the electronic equivalent of riffling a book in order to assess its content.
This one-day workshop will bring together researchers and designers who have
a common interest in the application of space-time trade-offs, such as Rapid
Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP), for information visualisation. Through a
discussion of peoplesexperiences in this area we hope to identify the
contexts in which the application of space-time trade-offs might be
particularly useful. In addition, we would like to identify potential for
novel techniques, design methods and guidelines for applications, and
potential problems that need to be solved. We also hope to generate
discussion about how new developments in interactive system technology, such
as ubiquitous computing, may impact on the application of space-time
trade-offs. Participation in the workshop is dependent on acceptance of a
position paper.
We are inviting contributions in the form of position papers on the
application of space-time trade-offs including, but not restricted to, the
following topics:
* How to represent multimedia content suitable for space-time trade-offs
* Web browsing using space-time trade-offs
* Appropriate controls for users
* Space-time trade-offs for small screen devices
* E-commerce applications
* Taxonomies of space-time trade-offs
* Content and task related issues
* Cognitive and perceptual issues
* Standards issues
Contributions will be judged on their quality, relevance, and potential
contribution to the workshop.
WE PARTICULARLY ENCOURAGE CONTRIBUTIONS IN THE FORM OF DEMONSTRATIONS.
The deadline for submitting position papers (max. 2000 words) is 9 April
2002.
