Paris Workshop on Visualization of Information and Data

信息可视化是一个越来越重要的研究和开发领域，对信息革命的成功至关重要。 本研讨会的重点是可视化信息以及用户如何与数字信息交互。Nahum Gershon（The MITRE Corp.） 和Jacques-Emile Dubois（CODATA International），它拥有一个由来自九个国家的可视化专家组成的国际委员会。 研讨会的目标是 一起 研究人员和开发人员， 来自欧洲、美国和 加拿大 进行密集的头脑风暴，以实现以下目标： 调查目前在欧洲和美国的信息可视化活动;确定可视化的研究和开发问题;并建立美国和欧洲之间的研究合作。 虽然已经有大量的方法来可视化不同类型的数据和信息的发展，很少有算法和方法已经实现，以解决现实世界的问题，特别是在北美。由于欧洲更多的研究和开发是针对有效地解决真实的问题，他们领先于美国。S.研究和 可视化应用进展 到 操作环境。 本次研讨会的重点是实施可视化方法。 结合北美和欧洲 专门知识 是 有望 结果 在 提高可视化的有效性，从而能够更好地交流信息，更有效地利用信息高速公路，减少最终用户（如记者）必须访问的文件数量。

Information visualization is an increasingly important research and development area, crucial for the success of the information revolution. This workshop focuses on visualizing information and how users interact with digital information. Co-chaired by Nahum Gershon (The MITRE Corp.) and Jacques-Emile Dubois (CODATA International) it has an international committee of visualization experts from nine countries. The goals of the workshop are to bring together researchers and developers in information visualization from Europe, United States, and Canada for intensive brain-storming to accomplish the following: survey current activity in information visualization in Europe and the United States; identify research and development issues in visualization; and forge research collaborations between the United States and Europe. Although there has been a great deal of development of methods for visualizing diverse types of data and information, few algorithms and methods have been implemented to solve real-world problems, especially in North America. Since more research and development have been targeted at solving real problems effectively in Europe, they are ahead of U. S. research and development in applying visualization to operational environments. The focal point of this workshop is implementing visualization methodology. Combining the North American and European expertise is expected to result in enhanced effectiveness of visualization, enabling better communication of information and more effective use of the information highways, reducing the number of documents end users such as journalists must access.
