AstroMD is a visualization software offering several capabilities specifically oriented to the cosmological analysis of three-dimensional structures. It was developed within the framework of the Cosmo.Lab project, financially supported by the European Community, which involves several European Astrophysical Institutions and the CINECA. This tool gives a 3D graphic representation of data, exploi...

Kwame Osei – Wusu Enhancing Web-Based Three-Dimensional Visualization of Scientific Data The recent initiative to encourage more effective communication among researchers, educational institutions, government bodies, and industries involved in the nanotechnology field has inspired major growth within the scientific visualization community. Scientific visualization provides an effective means to...

High dimensionality is a major challenge for data visualization. Parameter optimization problems require an understanding of the behaviour of an objective function in an n-dimensional space around the optimum this is multidimensional visualization and is a natural extension of the traditional domain of scientific visualization. Large numeric data tables with observations of many attributes requ...

The Portuguese Cultural Leisure Time Visualization project aimed to show how people have been spending their leisure time, in cultural terms. Through the use of different data visualization and interaction techniques, data series between 1994 and 2009 are displayed to the end-user. The visual representation is based on simple and regular shapes allowing a straightforward and an easy interpretat...

The goal of this paper is to help authors recognize and avoid a set of pitfalls that recur in many rejected information visualization papers, using a chronological model of the research process. Selecting a target paper type in the initial stage can avert an inappropriate choice of validation methods. Pitfalls involving the design of a visual encoding may occur during the middle stages of a pro...
