Preparing Your Submission

Submission PDF files and the URL to the submission video and web-page should be sent to rkosara@uncc.edu. For details on formatting of the 2-page contest entry summary paper, see the conference submission formatting guidelines.

The web page with additional information should follow the format similar to this web page. These web pages will be used to collect the entries for the Information Visualization Benchmark Repository.

Video demonstrations should focus on the process of data analysis and the interactive features of the approach. The video should not exceed 10 minutes in length with 5 minutes as recommended length, and have to be in either Quicktime (Sorenson or MPEG4 compression), AVI (Indeo 5.10 or DivX 5.x.x compression) format, at least 320x240 resolution. If you are not familiar with recorded video demonstrations, please take a look at Camtasia which works well for most Windows-based systems, unless you have a fast animation (and then you need to record with an external video recorder); similar solutions for Mac OS X are available. The audio in the video can also be compressed or just left as a low bit-rate mono channel to save space (e.g., 22KHz, 16bit Mono, with IMA 4:1 compression). Videos should be at least 15fps and at least 320x240 resolution, with mono audio if needed. Even a short video without sound is more effective than no video at all.
