------ CALL FOR PAPERS - 1st international Symposium on Big Data Visual Analytics (BDVA), Hobart Australia

1st International Symposium on Big Data Visual Analytics (BDVA) 22-25th September 2015, CSIRO, Hobart, Australia 
 
www.bdva.net
 
In the last decade Big Data Analytics has become a major decision support factor in industry and government organisations. Visual Analytics is the enabling science for effective exploration of big data through meaningful visualisations and interactive user interfaces. Understanding the multidisciplinary nature, including user querying, powerful analytics, machine learning, visualisation, human-computer interaction, perception and cognition, is critical for Visual Analytics to be effectively deployed. BDVA’15 aims to bring together researchers from across the globe to address these important issues.
 
BDVA'15
The symposium will be held at the beautiful Hobart harbour site of the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) on 22-25th September 2015. BDVA’15 will host an exciting programme with internationally renowned keynote speakers, special sessions, and a day of complimentary hands-on workshops. BDVA’15 will be the first of its kind with the aims to 

-	together leading experts from all relevant scientific domains to advance the understanding of visual analytics of complex, big, and dynamic data;
-	an exciting venue for researchers to network and establish national and international collaborations; and
-	early career scientists with an inspiring event allowing them to connect to relevant experts in the field.

SCOPE
The symposium will accept a range of manuscript types, including methods, systems, applications, evaluation techniques and theoretical work in the area of Visual Analytics. The scientific scope of the symposium includes, but is not limited to:
