Institute: Visualisierungsinstitut der Universität Stuttgart

About 30 scientists are doing research in different areas of scientific visualisation, Visual Analytics, Visual Computing and Computer graphics, as well as interdisciplinary, applied research. The latter results in a very close co-operation with non-visualisation disciplines of the University of Stuttgart. As part of the Institute for Visualisation and Interactive Systems (VIS), the insitute is embedded into the Faculty of Computer Science, Electrical Engineering and Information Technology. There is a close co-operation to the other departments of VIS. The academic staff is involved into the teaching programme for computer science and Ssoftware engineering.

The Visual Analytics Lab (VAL) is focused on innovation and training in information, and scientific visualizations and visual analytics.

OCAD UNIVERSITY

Driven by the increasing complexity of data sets and the need for visualization of both data and information the VAL’s team of researchers, designers, artists, cultural theorists, graphics specialists and software developers, invent new visual metaphors, create analysis algorithms, deliver prototypes and research outcomes that strive to make complex data meaningful by skilful visual designs, compelling interaction, sound analytic methods, and solid engineering.

The VAL collaborates with local experts, international and industry partners with projects that span urban and transportation issues, financial and health care services, publishing, social media and the entertainment sector. The goal of OCAD University’s visual analytics lab is to research: VAL’s research and development activities focus on four main areas: Visual Analytics Benchmark Repository. About Us The repository: The Visual Analytics Benchmarks Repository contains resources to improve the evaluation of visual analytics technology.

Visual Analytics Benchmark Repository

Benchmarks contains datasets and tasks, as well as materials describing the uses of those benchmarks (the results of analysis, contest entries, controlled experiment materials etc.) Most benchmarks contain ground truth described in a solution provided with the benchmark, allowing accuracy metrics to be computed. SEMVAST. News The old server that hosted the Repository died... so it was moved HERE: the new version of the Visual Analytics Benchmark Repository .

SEMVAST

The original websites for a few older challenges also ran on now-outdated technology and stopped working, so we saved PDF copies of the pages and include them in the benchmark repository for archival purposes. The VAST Challenge 2014 was a success. The solutions and all entries will be posted soon on the Visual Analytics Benchmark Repository Look at the Information Visualization journal special issue on the VAST challenge (Oct 2014) Read the summary of seven years of VAST Challenge - i.e. our Beliv 2012 paper (PDF - as revised after the workshop) The Blog was closed (too high ratio of spam postings to real news).

IBM Center for the Business of Government: Research, Trends, Reports. The Use of Data Visualization in Government. Monday, June 10th, 2013 - 10:26 The concept of visualization recalls a pivotal scene in the movie A Beautiful Mind which showed the protagonist, mathematician John Nash, looking at an expansive table of numbers.

The Use of Data Visualization in Government

Slowly, certain numbers seemed to glow, suggesting that Nash was perceiving a pattern among them, though no other researcher had been able to draw any meaning from the table. For most people, however, a table of numbers is not intrinsically meaningful. Think of the most prosaic example: a spreadsheet. Since their early days, spreadsheet applications have offered tools that allow users to create graphics of all sorts from their tables, the better for people to understand exactly what the data are showing. The best visualizations help viewers understand not only the data, but also their implications.

The report presents case studies on how visualization techniques are now being used by two local governments, one state government,and three federal government agencies.
