AIMS & SCOPE

Data visualization is crucial in many real-world problems dealing with

knowledge extraction. Adequate and intuitive data visualization

techniques may provide much insight about the information underlying a

given data set.

Visualization processes are usually unproblematic when data sets

consist of only a reduced number of attributes, but the scenario may

become much more difficult when dealing with high-dimensional data.

These are becoming increasingly common in real-world applications.

Straightforward visualization can also be non-trivial for structured

data such as large trees, graphs or time series.

Lately, much research in the machine learning and computational

intelligence fields has been devoted to the development of high-

dimensional and structured data visualization techniques. Dynamic and/

or interactive visualization methods are also becoming more readily

available.

This session aims to respond to the need for such techniques in real-

world application areas for which visualization is paramount. A

particular emphasis will be put on medical applications, but the

submission of results from other fields is encouraged, especially if

research addresses the challenges outlined above, concerning data

dimensionality or complexity issues.

The theme should appeal both to scientists interested in the

development of novel data visualization methods and to those mainly

interested in the application of such techniques to specific real

problems.
