The IEEE Visualization Conference (VIS) is an annual conference on scientific visualization, information visualization, and visual analytics administrated by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Visualization and Graphics. As ranked by Google Scholar's h-index metric in 2016, VIS is the highest rated venue for visualization research and the second-highest rated conference for computer graphics over all. [1] It has an 'A' rating from the Australian Ranking of ICT Conferences, [2] an 'A' rating from the Brazilian ministry of education, and an 'A' rating from the China Computer Federation (CCF). The conference is highly selective with generally < 25% acceptance rates for all papers. [3] [4]

Contents

An image dataset, VIS30K, has been created from figures and tables in the conference publications. [5]

In 2016, the VIS Executive Committee initiated a review of conference structures, which led to community consultations and the formation of a committee in 2019, which successfully consolidated the three conferences (SciVis, InfoVis, VAST) under one conference at VIS 2021. [6] Since the VIS 2021 conference a new unified full paper track with six specific areas and a consolidated review process is used. The unification of the conference structure aims to streamline experiences, simplify organizational processes, enhance flexibility in the evolution of topics, and provide a cohesive view of visualization fields.

Location

The conference is typically held at the end of October. In 2014, for its 25th anniversary, the conference took place for the first time outside of the US, namely in Paris. [7] Since then, the conference typically rotates around the US and also moves international about every third year.
