Credits

7.5 ECTS

Topic

Information Visualization in Special Domains

This course extends Information Visualization with visualization techniques and systems for special data sets, such as networked data, time-dependent data, text, document collections, or software (so-called software visualization). Furthermore, we discuss the evaluation of visualizations, information visualization for the masses, as well as applications in bioinformatics, geography, etc.

This course aims at giving an overview of the most important techniques and prerequisites needed to develop effective visualizations of abstract information. After finishing the course, the students should be able to choose and develop the most suitable technique for special data sets and applications domains.

Assignments

Assignments consists of theoretical and practical exercices as well as a short class presentation/demo. They will be supervised by Ilir Jusufi.

Assignment 1 (Deadline: 2010-04-29)
Assignment 2 (Deadline: 2010-06-02):

Assignment 2

You have to implement the software based on the report you have submitted for the first assignment. A short presentation (10-15 minutes) about your prototype should be made, including a demo presentation of the implementation.

You should send the source code and an executable file, as well as a readme.txt file explaining how to run the tool. The file should have a short description of the most important classes and methods of your implementation.

Deadline: 2010-06-02
