Abstract

Data available in today's information society is ever growing in size and complexity--i.e., unstructured, multidimensional, uncertain, etc.--making it impossible to survey and understand this data. Traditionally, most of these datasets are stored and depicted as huge tables, hindering efficient retrieval of salient information--similarities, outliers, structures, origin, etc. Interactive visualization provides an interface to this data that can help gleaning valuable information from it, thus supporting better data understanding by significantly reducing cognitive load on the analyst. Two fundamental concepts, visualization and interaction, form the basis of the underlying scientific methods. Combining these concepts connects two key research areas in computer science: visualization and human-computer interaction (HCI) and brings together practitioners from many disciplines. The result is highly multi-disciplinary work with significant impact and virtually unlimited application areas. However, truly interactive visualizations are hard to design and implement, so researchers have to solve multiple problems. This Special Issue provides an overciew over the current state-of-the-art of "Interactive Visualization." It shows recent work in the field, as well as trends for future development.

Abstract

The anthology Theoretical applications in art science demonstrates, presents and problematizes the application of semiotic theory to art science study objects. The central ambition is to discuss and exemplify the specific questions and problems that semiotics' encounter with objects of study in art studies gives rise to. These include questions about visual communication and visual codes, materiality and mediality as well as in other contexts overlooked aspects of the sign, as well as the historicity of the sign and thus the interpretation. The anthology's six chapters include studies of contemporary fashion photography and sculpture, pre- and post-industrial furniture, 17th- and 19th-century oil painting, and 19th-century press images.

Abstract

Real-time, web-based, and interactive visualisations are proven to be outstanding methodologies and tools in numerous fields when knowledge in sophisticated data science and visualisation techniques is available. The rationale for this is because modern data science analytical approaches like machine/deep learning or artificial intelligence, as well as digital twinning, promise to give data insights, enable informed decision-making, and facilitate rich interactions among stakeholders.The benefits of data visualisation, data science, and digital twinning technologies motivate this book, which exhibits and presents numerous developed and advanced data science and visualisation approaches. Chapters cover such topics as deep learning techniques, web and dashboard-based visualisations during the COVID pandemic, 3D modelling of trees for mobile communications, digital twinning in the mining industry, data science libraries, and potential areas of future data science development.
