[Jul'07] BELIV'08, a new edition of the workshop, will be hosted at ACM CHI 2008 in Florence, Italy on 5 Apr 2008. Deadline for submission is 30 Oct 2007. For more info see the BELIV'08 workshop website.
[May'07] Workshop report published in the ACM <inteactions> magazine:
Controlled
experiments
remain the workhorse of evaluation but there is a
growing sense that information visualization systems need new methods
of
evaluation, from longitudinal field studies, insight based evaluation
and other metrics adapted to the perceptual aspects of visualization as
well as the exploratory nature of discovery. We solicit position and
research papers discussing proposed new information visualization
evaluation methods e.g. new ways of conducting user studies, definition
and assessment of infovis effectiveness through the formal
characterization of perceptual and cognitive tasks and insights,
definition of quality criteria and metrics. Case study and survey
papers
are also welcomed when clearly presenting general guidelines, practical
advices, and lessons learned.

Opportunities John Stasko
Ideally,
about 20 participants will attend the workshop. During the workshop
accepted papers will be presented, leaving large space for questions
and discussions. The last two hours of the workshop will be reserved
for discussion of hot topics, issues, and open problems. The workshop
website will serve as an archive of the ideas raised during
presentation and discussion and will be further refined afterwards to
create a permanent resource for people who are interested in the
matter. A shared space will be provided in which authors and potential
participants can add links, comments, and suggestions, before and after
the workshop.
