ABSTRACT
ConfFlow is an interactive web application that allows conference participants to inspect other attendees through a visualized similarity space. The construction of the similarity space is done in a similar manner to the well-known Toronto Paper Matching System (TPMS) and based on the publicly available former publications of the attendees, obtained by crawling through the Web. ConfFlow aims to help attendees initiate new connections and collaborations with participants that have similar and/or complementary research interests. It has multiple functionalities that allow users to customize their experience and identify the perfect connection for their next collaboration.

Visualization Collaborations: What Works and Why
For over 25 years, the visualization community has grown and evolved as a function of collaboration with other areas. It's now commonplace for visualization scientists to engage with other researchers in scientific teams. Commonplace, however, doesn't ...
Encouraging more Diverse Scientific Collaborations with the ConfFlow application
ConfFlow is an application to encourage people with similar or complementary research interests to find each other at conferences. How scientific collaborations are initiated, how people meet and how an intention is developed to work together is an open ...
Encouraging Scientific Collaborations with ConfFlow 2021
We often find other collaborators by chance at a conference or by looking for them specifically through their papers. However, sometimes hidden potential social connections might exist between different researchers that cannot be immediately observed ...
