Abstract
Visual metaphors have assisted human understanding since early days of mankind; the modern scientific and social-scientific evolution especially benefits greatly from the visual medium. With increasing size and complexity of contemporary data, visualization research has focused on developing techniques for novel mathematical and visual representations to assist data exploration for intended as well as fortuitous discovery. This article introduces the reader to the field of visualization, and discusses some of its important applications.

A Model and Framework for Visualization Exploration
Visualization exploration is the process of extracting insight from data via interaction with visual depictions of that data. Visualization exploration is more than presentation; the interaction with both the data and its depiction is as important as ...
Safe Visual Data Exploration
SIGMOD '17: Proceedings of the 2017 ACM International Conference on Management of DataExploring data via visualization has become a popular way to understand complex data. Features or patterns in visualization can be perceived as relevant insights by users, even though they may actually arise from random noise. Moreover, interactive data ...
Supporting visual exploration of massive movement data
AVI '08: Proceedings of the working conference on Advanced visual interfacesTo make sense from large amounts of movement data (sequences of positions of moving objects), a human analyst needs interactive visual displays enhanced with database operations and methods of computational analysis. We present a toolkit for analysis of ...
