• Title of course: Information Visualization

• Aimed at what category of students: Computer Science students (master level course and extentions for doctoral level students)

• Objectives of the course:
  • This graduate level course will provide an in depth introduction to the state-of-the-art in information visualization. Through a series of readings, video tapes and discussions, we will look at various strategies that have been developed, including their static, dynamic, and interactive aspects, and try to understand when, where and why they work. In addition there will be an effort to place Information Visualization in the more general contexts of visualization (e.g., as used in statistics and physics) and information work.
