Each short paper was reviewed by experts from the International Program Committee and external re- viewers. We followed a double-blind one-stage process and had at least two reviews for each submission.
After careful consideration of all reviews, the final acceptance was decided by the short paper co-chairs.
This year we accepted 30 out of 64 submissions for an acceptance rate of 46.9%. The program fills six sessions on timely topics in visualization research and applications. We thank all authors for their hard work put into the submissions and all reviewers for their dedicated time and expertise.
