Information Visualization

Information Visualization is a research area aiming to enhance the visualization of spatial and temporal information. Research topics include multi-scale visualizations, geovisualization, ontology-driven visualization design, geospatial exploratory spatial analysis, multimodal dialogue systems, and advanced interactive systems supporting geocollaboration in crisis management. 

The goal of information visualization research is to develop scientific principles and methodologies in the design and engineering of usable and effective visualization systems. Advances in information visualization are often motivated by, and directly contribute solutions to, research in other areas such as computational informatics, extreme events systems science, social network analysis, information fusion, artificial intelligence and cognition, human-computer interaction, and enterprise informatics and integration.
