The goal of this workshop series is to provide a forum for presentation and 
discussion of the newest ideas, research and developments in visual data mining 
and supporting disciplines, and to identify the short- and long-term research 
directions in the field.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

The scope of the workshop covers the intersection of broad range of 
disciplines. This year workshop will focus on selected issues that surfaced 
during the past workshops, namely on metrics for visual data mining methods 
(including an invited presentation on recent developments in visualization 
metrics by Georges Grinstein), and the application of visual data mining to 
discover causalities. The major topics of the workshop include but are not 
limited to:
  * methods for visual data analysis
  * data and knowledge representation and metaphors visualization for visual 
data mining;
  * metrics for evaluation of visual data mining methods;
  * virtual environments for data visualisation and exploration, including 
immersive visualisations;
  * visual reasoning and cognitive aspects of visual data mining;
  * validating results of visual data mining;
  * complexity, efficiency and scalability in visual data mining;
  * immersive visual data mining in virtual reality systems;
  * visual data mining of social networks;
  * fractals visualisation - fractal dimensions, self-similarity and symmetry - 
in visual data mining.

We also encourage submissions, which present early stages of research work, 
software applications and demonstrations of research and development projects. 
The workshop program is expected to include demonstrations of visual data 
mining prototypes and systems.
