Description
Since the beginning of the computer age, researchers from many disciplines have sought to facilitate people's use of computers and to
provide ways for scientists to make sense of the immense quantities of data coming out of them. One gainful result of these efforts has
been the field of information visualization, whose technology is increasingly applied in scientific research, digital libraries, data
mining, financial data analysis, market studies, manufacturing production control, and data discovery.
This book collects 38 of the
key papers on information visualization from a leading and prominent research lab, the University of Maryland’s Human-Computer Interaction
Lab (HCIL). Celebrating HCIL’s 20th anniversary, this book presents a coherent body of work from a respected community that has had many
success stories with its research and commercial spin-offs.
Each chapter contains an introduction specifically written for this
volume by two leading HCI researchers, to describe the connections among those papers and reveal HCIL’s individual approach to developing
innovations.
