**************************************************************************************************

EuroVA 2012 is the third international Eurovis workshop on visual analytics held in Europe and aims at continuing the success of the previous editions, held in Bordeaux, France, on June 8th, 2010, and in Bergen, Norway, on May 31st, 2011. Also this year the goal of the workshop is to promote and advance the combination and integration of visualization and analytics methods for the purpose of problem solving in a variety of application domains including engineering, business, public policy, medicine, security, etc. EuroVA will be held on June 4th-5th, 2012, in Vienna, Austria, as a workshop of the annual EuroVis 2012 Conference.

The EuroVA 2012 program will include a two keynote talks, from Jean-Daniel Fekete
(http://www.lri.fr/~fekete/) and Helwig Hauser (http://www.ii.uib.no/vis/team/hauser/), and short paper presentations. Visual Analytics is the science of analytical reasoning supported by interactive visual techniques, which requires interdisciplinary science integrating techniques from visualization and computer graphics, statistics and mathematics, data management and knowledge representation, data analysis and machine learning, cognitive and perceptual sciences, and more.

TOPICS of interest include but are not limited to:
* Visual representations and interaction techniques
* Data management and knowledge representation
* Data analysis and machine learning
* Cognitive and perceptual aspects
* Infrastructure and Evaluation
* Applications, as far as they are strictly related to visual analytics.
