Message from the Editor-in-Chief

I am pleased to introduce the December 2014 issue of the IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG). With mixed emotions, I am writing my last editorial for IEEE VIS and ending my tenure as the EIC of IEEE TVCG. Selected from a record high number of 480 submissions, this special issue contains 111 papers presented at the 2014 IEEE VIS, including the IEEE Conference on Visual Analytics Science and Technolgy (VAST), the IEEE Information Visualization Conference (InfoVis), and the IEEE Scientific Visualization Conference (SciVis) in Paris, France from 9-14 November 2014. These papers that were recommended for acceptance by the program committees of these three conferences, after having undergone a rigorous two-round review process, are published in this issue.
