The term Visual Analytics has been around for almost five years by now, but still there are on-going discussions about what it actually is and in particular what is new about it. The core of our view on Visual Analytics is the new enabling and accessible analytic reasoning interactions supported by the combination of automated [...]

Remote sensing image repositories are the fastest growing archives of spatio-temporal information. This leads to large time-series that geoscientists need to explore and understand. Effective exploratory tools are urgently needed to handle the large data sets efficiently. Common application areas that require such tools are, amongst others: climate change and environmental monitoring studies, hazard analysis, [...]
Harald Bosch, Julian Heinrichm, Benjamin Höferlin, Markus Höferlin, Steffen Koch, Christoph Müller, Guido Reina, Michael Wörner Description The VAST 2009 Challenge consisted of three heterogeneous synthetic data sets organized into separate mini-challenges with minimal correspondence information. The challenge task was the identification of a suspected data theft from cyber and real-world traces. The grand challenge [...]
Environmental simulation models are created to understand environmental processes and to analyse future scenarios. To asses the quality of simulation models various methods are applied, one is to validate model output against collected data. [...]
The Swedish road administration has for this winter season introduced an advanced road warning prediction system that has been developed in close collaboration with Swedish Meteorological and Hydrological Institute SMHI. [...]
The shipping industry has a need to draw accurate conclusions and make well planned decisions regarding routes and weather factors. There are a large number of variables affecting the success of every sea voyage performed by vessels such as cargo ships. Important aspects being considered are speed, safety and costs because of their direct impact [...]
VoSON (Visualization of Self-Organizing Network) is developed in close collaboration with our research telecom partner Ericsson and allows the operators to follow, interact with and analyze the evolution of a self-organizing network under the operation of an automatic algorithm such as ANR. VoSON increases comprehension of the behaviour of a self-organizing network and supports network [...]
http://ncva.itn.liu.se/explorer Recent advances in web-enabled graphics technologies have the potential to make a dramatic impact on developing highly interactive Geovisual Analytics applications for the Internet. An emerging and challenging application domain is geovisualization of regional (sub-national) statistics. Higher integration driven by institutional processes and economic globalisation is eroding national borders and creating competition along regional [...]
