Theme I-4: Knowledge Discovery Session/Theme I-5: Visualization of Information and Data: Where Are We and Where Do We Go From Here?– N. Gershon (US)

Presentation abstracts will appear here as soon as possible.


Increasing amounts of data and information and the availability of fast digital network access (e.g., the World Wide Web) have created a demand for querying, accessing, and retrieving information and data.  Information visualization is an increasingly important research and development area and is crucial for the success of the information revolution. Effective visualizations will enable users from all walks of life to use the information highway easily and efficiently.

The Session on "Visualization of Information and Data: Where Are We and Where Do We Go From Here?" will focus on all aspects of visualizing information and data and how users interact with digital information. It will foster an exchange of ideas on all aspects of information visualization and human-information interaction. The goals of the Session are to bring together some of the most active and well known researchers and developers in Information Visualization to discuss the following:

  • Surveying what is currently being done in information visualization
  • Identifying future research and development issues and trends in visualization of information and data and discussing how advances in interactive computer graphics hardware, mass storage, and data visualization could be used to visualize information
  • Forging research collaborations.
