Matrix Reordering Methods for Table and Network Visualization

Behrisch, Michael; Bach, Benjamin; Riche, Nathalie Henry; Schreck, Tobias; Fekete, Jean-Daniel (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

This survey provides a description of algorithms to reorder visual matrices of tabular data and adjacency matrix of networks. The goal of this survey is to provide a comprehensive list of reordering algorithms published ...
Formalizing Emphasis in Information Visualization

Hall, Kyle Wm.; Perin, Charles; Kusalik, Peter G.; Gutwin, Carl; Carpendale, Sheelagh (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

We provide a fresh look at the use and prevalence of emphasis effects in Infovis. Through a survey of existing emphasis frameworks, we extract a set-based approach that uses visual prominence to link visually and algorithmically ...
State of the Art in Transfer Functions for Direct Volume Rendering

Ljung, Patric; Krüger, Jens; Gröller, Eduard; Hadwiger, Markus; Hansen, Charles D.; Ynnerman, Anders (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

A central topic in scientific visualization is the transfer function (TF) for volume rendering. The TF serves a fundamental role in translating scalar and multivariate data into color and opacity to express and reveal the ...

Market participants and businesses have made tremendous efforts to make the best decisions in a timely manner under varying economic and business circumstances. As such, decision-making processes based on financial data ...
A Survey of Topology-based Methods in Visualization

Heine, Christian; Leitte, Heike; Hlawitschka, Mario; Iuricich, Federico; Floriani, Leila De; Scheuermann, Gerik; Hagen, Hans; Garth, Christoph (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

This paper presents the state of the art in the area of topology-based visualization. It describes the process and results of an extensive annotation for generating a definition and terminology for the field. The terminology ...
The State of the Art in Cartograms

Nusrat, Sabrina; Kobourov, Stephen (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

Cartograms combine statistical and geographical information in thematic maps, where areas of geographical regions (e.g., countries, states) are scaled in proportion to some statistic (e.g., population, income). Cartograms ...
State-of-the-Art Report in Web-based Visualization

Mwalongo, Finian; Krone, Michael; Reina, Guido; Ertl, Thomas (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2016)

In this report, we review the current state of the art of web-based visualization applications. Recently, an increasing number of web-based visualization applications have emerged. This is due to the fact that new technologies ...
