Free to all ER conference participants. However, all the organizers, speakers, and participants of the pre-conference symposium are required to register for the main conference. Unlike most scientific numerical data, information is abstract, having no physical form or representation. Information Visualization involves the conversion of the abstract into concrete visual representations and creation of user interfaces to support tasks such as searching, data mining, discovery, and identification. Visualization uses interactive graphics and imaging and relies on the visual system to perceive information.
Information visualization is an increasingly important research and development area.
Effective visualizations will enable users from all walks of life to use the information highway easily and efficiently. Among the emerging new research and development areas are interaction with large data bases, visualization of text contained in large corpora, and interaction with multi-dimensional information and data. Identify research and development issues in visualization. Forge research collaborations. 46ew algorithms and methods have been implemented to solve real-world problems, especially in North America.
