Abstract
The beautiful CiteVis shows what appears to be an interesting trend, and that is the contraction of the SciVis track of the IEEE VIS (Visual Analytics, Information Visualization, and Scientific Visualization) conference. See Figure 1. The SciVis track of the conference grew, in general, since its inception in 1990. It enjoyed a period of expansion for 15, years until 2005. Since 2006, SciVis has been contracting, with the exception of 2015. This contraction started just two years after Bill Lorenson’s famous paper on the Death of Visualization [1]. In 2012, the number of IEEE InfoVis papers surpassed that of SciVis for the first time. In 2013 SciVis was also surpassed by IEEE VAST in terms of numbers of papers. While InfoVis and VAST have been expanding since their inception, SciVis is, in general, contracting.

This panel discusses what appears to be a trend of the SciVis track of the conference contracting. This panel addresses some very difficult, core, fundamental questions.
