We are delighted to announce that the fourth schematic mapping
workshop will be hosted by EIVP and held in Paris, 10th-11th April
2025. Full details are at www.schematicmapping.org including links to
past workshops. The pdf of the call for papers can be downloaded from
https://lnkd.in/e3dX7wxf. Please circulate the call for papers to
potentially interested colleagues.
The focus of this workshop series is research into the design of
schematic maps, but practitioners are most welcome: one ongoing theme
of these meetings is what research and software tools would people in
the industry like to see in order to make their mapping tasks easier.
The highlight of the workshop is always the dinner, which includes an
informal exhibition of maps by workshop participants. These are not
refereed, just bring along an interesting map and take part in lively
discussion.
*** Important Dates ***
Submission deadline: 20th November 2024
*** Topics ***
Any submissions describing research relevant to schematic mapping will
be considered including, but not limited to:
• 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 ***
And we accept a variety of formats for refereed submissions:
• Regular papers will present original research, submitted as a
four-page manuscript. Accepted papers will be presented orally.
• Posters will 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 image. Accepted designs will
be exhibited at the workshop.
• Position papers will be solicited by the program committee, but
proposals for these are welcome, contact the organizers directly.
• Workshop activities will also be considered, contact the organizers directly.
Accepted contributions will be made available electronically on this
website as a collection of preprints: authors will retain copyright.
