IEEE VIS 2025 is the premier forum for advances in theory, methods, and applications of visualization and visual analytics. The conference will convene an international community of researchers and practitioners from universities, government, and industry to exchange recent findings on the design and use of visualization tools. This year’s Conference will be held November 2 to 7 in Vienna, Austria

EVL PhD students Sanjana Srabanti, Leonardo Ferreira, and Gustavo Moreira have had their research papers accepted into the Conference:
“StreetWeave: A Declarative Grammar for Street-Overlaid Visualization of Multivariate Data”
Sanjana Srabanti, G. Elisabeta Marai, Fabio Miranda
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (To appear)

This is Sanjana’s second full paper at a visualization conference, following her first at PacificVis. The paper proposes a design space for street-overlaid visualizations, and a declarative grammar to operationalize such space.

“VA-Blueprint: Uncovering Building Blocks for Visual Analytics System Design”
Leonardo Ferreira, Gustavo Moreira, Fabio Miranda
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (To appear)

This is Leonardo’ss second VIS paper, first as first author, and third full paper overall in just 1.5 years into the PhD -- and having joined the program without a CS bachelor’ss degree. The paper proposes an LLM-based approach to extract building blocks from papers describing visual analytics systems. The data and interface for the paper are available here: https://urbantk.org/va-blueprint/

“Urbanite: A Dataflow-Based Framework for Human-AI Interactive Alignment in Urban Visual Analytics”
Gustavo Moreira, Leonardo Ferreira, Maryam Hosseini, Carolina Veiga, Fabio Miranda
IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (To appear)

This is Gustavo’s fourth VIS paper and the third consecutive year he has had a first-author full paper at VIS. In total, it’s his eighth published full paper (!) in just three years into his PhD. The paper proposes a series of design features to support human-AI alignment in the creation of urban dataflows. The code and tutorials for the paper are available here: https://urbantk.org/urbanite/

Date: November 2, 2025 - November 7, 2025
