Hi everyone, I'd like to put in a quick plug for a book that may be of interest to infovis researchers. It's titled "Information Visualization: Human-Centered Issues and Perspectives" and is the result of a summer 2007 Dagstuhl seminar. After the meeting, a number of the attendees put together some chapters related to main discussion topics there at the seminar. What's most interesting is that the chapters reflect many meta-topics in infovis and are more overview-ish in nature (value of infovis, teaching, evaluation, paper writing, etc.) and you normally wouldn't find these papers in typical journals or conferences. Chapters 1 The Value of Information Visualization (J.-D. Fekete, J.J. van Wijk, J.T. Stasko, and C. North) 2 Evaluating Information Visualization (S. Carpendale) 3 Theoretical Foundations of Information Visualization (H.C. Purchase, N. Andrienko, T.J. Jankun-Kelly, and M. Ward) 4 Teaching Information Visualization (A. Kerren, J.T. Stasko, and J. Dykes) 5 Creation and Collaboration: Engaging New Audiences for Information Visualization (J. Heer, F. van Ham, S. Carpendale, C. Weaver, and P. Isenberg) 6 Process and Pitfalls in Writing Information Visualization Research Papers (T. Munzner) 7 Visual Analytics: Definition, Process, and Challenges (D. Keim, G. Andrienko, J.-D. Fekete, C. Görg, J. Kohlhammer, and G. Melançon) For more info about the book, please see http://www.springer.com/computer/user+interfaces/book/978-3-540-70955-8 http://books.google.com/books?q=isbn:978-3-540-70955-8&hl=en --John Stasko
