Held in 2022 at Ruhr-Universät Bochum, in 2019 at TU Wien and in 2014 at the University of Essex, this multidisciplinary workshop will be take place in Paris in 2025, bringing together researchers and practitioners working on schematic maps of transit networks and beyond, including graphic designers, cartographers psychologists, computer scientists and transport professionals.
The pdf version of the Call for Papers can be downloaded here. Feel free to circulate this.
Topics
Submissions are invited on the following, or related topics:
Methods for evaluating map quality
Theoretical approaches to usability and its measurement
Results of usability and user-experience studies
Cross-cultural differences in designing and using schematic maps
New methods and algorithms for automatic layout of schematic maps
Computer software that for assisting designers in the creation of schematic maps
Theories of network schematics
Schematic mapping implemented on portable devices
Interactive and dynamic schematic maps
Impact of schematic maps on transit use and operations
The role of cognitive psychology in designing and understanding schematics
Critiques of existing schematics
New approaches to schematic mapping, such as use of atypical design rules
Historical approaches to mapping transport systems
The use of schematic maps beyond transit domains
Submissions
We invite the following contributions; all will be submitted to peer review:
Regular paperswill present original research, submitted as a four-page manuscript. Accepted papers will be presented orally.
Posterswill summarize current projects or new techniques at an early stage of development, submitted as a two-page summary. Accepted posters will be exhibited at the workshop.
Designs that implement fresh approaches to mapping are welcome, submitted as a one-page description plus one-page image. Accepted designs will be exhibited at the workshop.
Position paperswill be solicited by the program committee, but proposals for these are welcome, contact the organizers directly. The length is normally eight pages. Contact the conrresponding program committee or organizers when more pages are needed.
Workshop activities will also be considered, contact the organizers directly.
* Note that all page limits exclude the reference pages.
Accepted contributions will be made available electronically on this website as a collection of preprints: authors will retain copyright.
Submission Guidelines
All submissions must be formatted using the IEEE conference format. Templates are available here both for LaTeX and for Microsoft Word. Submissions are accepted as PDF files only. The workshop proceedings will be published online as a collection of preprints.
Venue
The workshop will take place in the premises of the Ecole d'Ingénieurs de la Ville de Paris located 80 rue Rébeval, 75019 Paris. The neighbourhood is a typical East Parisian quarter, in the 19th arrondissement, full of cafés, restaurants and nice places to visit.
