ChinaVis2019 Panels should address important and/or controversial issues and applications in visualization and its subfields today. In particular, we invite panels that:

• Raise controversial, important, or emerging issues in the field of visualization.
• Bring researchers together with potential users of visualization.
• Connect visualization with interesting application fields.

Panelists should be experts in their fields who can discuss the challenges of visualization, and engage the audience to fellow panel members in a stimulating, interactive debate. The most interesting sessions are the ones where there are many different perspectives. In selecting panels, the committee will favor panels that reflect the breadth and richness of the ChinaVis community.

Panels are scheduled for the duration of an entire paper session; panel proposals should thus cover one hour and 40 minutes total duration, including question description and discussion periods. We strongly recommend that in order to keep to time, the chair of the panel is not one of the panelists.

Each panel proposal should include panel topics, topic descriptions and 4-5 panelists' information. The number of words in a panel topic description should be limited to 500 words. Each panelist’s information mainly includes: name, unit, title, research field, etc. If the topic has been discussed in the previous panel, the proposer should point out this and elaborate on the expected follow-up progress.

Panel proposers can also submit a short description of the panel format and schedule (max. 1 page). This should be in a separate document from the proposal itself, and should describe the order of topics to be discussed, time to be spent on panelist presentations, and mechanisms for encouraging audience participation.

Please submit your proposal via email chinavis2018panel@126.com or chenyi@th.btbu.edu.cn.
