This paper demonstrates the synergy of common InfoVis and GeoVis interaction techniques and the logistic application domain demonstrated in the customized Visualize Performance data (VISPER) application. In VISPER multi-dimensional, multi-source, time-varying and geospatial digital information from voyage analysis is represented to facilitate decision-making. Using common InfoVis components for multivariate data together with logistics visualization in a new synergy aids the users in their work examining ship and route performance. An evaluation of the usability was performed to gather insights for future development. The results from the evaluation show that the overall impression of VISPER was highly positive and participants enjoyed using it. Feedback obtained was highly valuable and directly applicable for improvements and further development.

Advances in the field of microarray technology have attracted a lot of attention in recent years. More and more biological experiments are conducted based on microarrays. The challenge researchers face today is to analyze and understand the collected data. We present a visual approach to support understanding microarray data. In contrast to other visualization techniques, which represent expression of genes, we go one step further and make a switch to combinations of genes. Gene combinations bear more information, and hence, can lead to new hypotheses about the data. However the increased amount of information imposes several challenges to an interactive visualization approach. We propose analytical and visual methods to deal with these challenges.

Many visualization approaches teach us that ease of use is the key to effective visual dataanalysis. The Table Lens is an excellent example of a simple, yet expressive visual method that can help in analyzing even larger volumes of data. In this work, we present two extensions of the original Table Lens approach. In particular, we extend the Table Lens by Two-Tone Pseudo Coloring (TTPC) and a hybrid clustering. By integrating TTPC into the Table Lens, we obtain visual representations that can communicate larger volumes of data while still maintaining precision. Secondly, we propose to integrate a dataanalysis step that implements a hybrid clustering based on self-organizing maps and hierarchical clustering. The analysis step helps to extract and communicate complementary structural information about the data and also serves to drive interactive information drill-down.

Commercial eye-gaze trackers have the potential to be an important tool for quantifying the benefits of new visualization techniques. The expense of such trackers has made their use relatively infrequent in visualization studies. As such, it is difficult for researchers to compare multiple devices - obtaining several demonstration models is impractical in cost and time, and quantitative measures from real-world use are not readily available. In this paper, we present a sample protocol to determine the accuracy of a gaze-tacking device.

This paper presents a dataanalysis tool for mobile devices. Coordinated views are used to enhance the user's perception over data and diminish the difficulties caused by the lack of resources these mobiles present, specially when it comes to display size. The tool was totally developed in JavaME, what guarantees portability, scalability and code reuse. It presents two visualization techniques, implemented and coordinated with filters, scatterplot graph with georeferenced maps and treemap. Besides, preliminary usability tests were performed with users.
Uncertainty information is an important characteristic associated with much of the data scientists encounter. While such uncertainty information is often available, incorporating uncertainty into visualization techniq...

The post-genomic era is characterized by the rapid data accumulation leading to unwieldy and large volumes of biological data. The proteomics results (large sets of identified proteins or peptides) that originate from several workflow steps, play an important role in the analysis of a proteomics experiment. As a result, the area of high-throughput proteomics created new visualization challenges in interpreting large-scale datasets. We present VIP, an interactive visualization tool for proteomics data, which integrates protein or peptide features emanating at every step of the proteomics analysis and combines them visually in synthetic maps. Our novel tool offers the flexibility to choose any desired features according to the analysis objectives, examine simultaneously more than one maps and interact with the visualization by querying and filtering the results. The synthetic maps visualization aims not only at summarizing proteomics experiments in a unified manner for both 2DE-MS and LC-MS based analyses, but also at providing a quick and combined overview of protein/peptide features, thus facilitating the dataanalysis and interpretation.

For successfully competing in a modem economy, large amounts of hierarchic time-dependent data need to be analyzed. As an example, one could consider the geographic composition of inflation in the European Union, or the revenue by product (sub) categories of a firm in the last month. Analysts wish to interpret the structure of the data not only at a single point in time, but examine the changes in the data categories through time. The analysts may need to consider additional dimensions to composition and time, such as the growth rate or profit rate. To reflect such analytic requirements, we have developed an interactive visualization of multi-dimensional, structured data taking the time dimension into account. The data are displayed in a three dimensional hierarchic circular or column plot. The time-dimension of the data is represented by animation. Our system provides interactive tools for the visual dataanalysis and variable set-up of the data display. For better orientation in the data space, we have enhanced the visualization with smooth transitions between different data selections in case of 3D hierarchic plots. The techniques presented can be applied to various data domains. A user study using European inflation data has shown the usefulness for effective economic analysis.

Interactive visual analysis of a patient's anatomy by means of computer-generated 3D imagery is crucial for diagnosis, pre-operative planning, and surgical training. The task of visualization is no longer limited to producing images at interactive rates, but also includes the guided extraction of significant features to assist the user in the data exploration process. An effective visualization module has to perform a problem-specific abstraction of the dataset, leading to a more compact and hence more efficient visual representation. Moreover, many medical applications, such as surgical training simulators and pre-operative planning for plastic and reconstructive surgery, require the visualization of datasets that are dynamically modified or even generated by a physics-based simulation engine. In this paper we present a set of approaches that allow interactive exploration of medical datasets in real time. Our method combines direct volume rendering via ray-casting with a novel approach for isosurface extraction and re-use directly on graphics processing units (GPUs) in a single framework. The isosurface extraction technique takes advantage of the recently introduced Microsoft DirectX (R) 10 pipeline for dynamic surface extraction in real time using geometry shaders. This surface is constructed in polygonal form and can be directly used post-extraction for collision detection, rendering. and optimization. The resulting polygonal surface can also be analyzed for geometric properties, such as feature area, volume and size deviation, which is crucial for semi-automatic tumor analysis as used, for example, in colonoscopy. Additionally, we have developed a technique for real-time volume dataanalysis by providing an interactive user interface for designing material properties for organs in the scanned volume. Combining isosurface with direct volume rendering allows visualization of the surface properties as well as the context of tissues surrounding the region and gives
