A workshop at the VisWeek 2012 Conference on October 14(/15), 2012 in Seattle, WA, USA.

Paper Types


We accept 2 types of submissions—research papers and position papers:

Both types of papers can be up to eight pages long but the length of a submission needs to correspond to its contribution. All papers will be peer-reviewed by members of the program committee as well as the organizers. We are currently working on making sure that we will be able to publish all accepted papers in the ACM digital library including the assignment of DOIs to the papers. We also plan to invite a selected subset of the papers to contribute to a special issue in a major visualization journal venue. For past BELIV workshops and papers see these links:


- BELIV 2006: published in the ACM DL http://doi.acm.org/10.1145/1168149
