Interactive Visual Analytics and Visualization for Decision Making - Making Sense of a Growing Digital World Minitrack ( Decision Analytics, Mobile Services, and Service Science Track, HICSS 52) by : June 15, 201</span>9 . Please see author instructions at:

<span style="font-size:11.0pt">Interactive Visual Analytics and Visualization for Decision Making supports human decision making through interaction with data and statistical and machine learning processes, with applications in a broad range of situations where
human expertise must be brought to bear on problems characterized by massive datasets and data that are uncertain in fact, relevance, location in space and position in time. Current applications include environmental science and technologies, natural resources
and energy, health and related life sciences, precision medicine, safety and security and business processes.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">Submissions are encouraged that extend the areas of use to new analytic tasks in science and technology, public health, business intelligence, financial
analysis, social sciences, and other domains. Particular emphasis will be given to submissions that use visual analytics for social change discovery, analysis and communication. Submissions may include studies of visual analytics and decision support in the
context of an organization (e.g., communication between analysts and policy-makers), perceptual and cognitive aspects of the analytic task, Interactive Machine Learning, and collaborative analysis using visual information systems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We encourage authors to address these themes from their own research perspectives. Authors are encouraged to bring the lens of their own background
and expertise to focus on the analytics of the data itself and coordination of multiple levels of analysis, decision-making and operations to the design and evaluation of effective presentations for stakeholders.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">We also welcome participation from researchers who are looking at scaling issues and multiscale issues, whether these scales refer to the time of
decision making, the form-factor and operational constraints of mobile devices, the number of decision makers or the more traditional notion of multiscale simulation and real-world scales of data. We are particularly interested in approaches that combine computational
and interactive analytics in “mixed initiative” or Interactive Machine Learning systems, decision support in the context of an organization (e.g. communication between analysts and policy-makers), perceptual and cognitive aspects of the analytic task, and
collaborative analysis using visual information systems.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
