Aims and Objectives of Course: First we will look at current work and results in the area of information visualisation. Then students will resarch and present one particular aspect of information visualisation. Finally, students will design their own visualisation for a particular kind of information or application.
Teaching method: A mixture of lecture, seminar, and practical, with lots of group discussion.

Course Newsgroup: tu-graz.lv.ivis
Registration: In TUGonline.

This is an advanced course. To allow teaching in small groups, a maximum of 20 places are available.

Priority will be given to PhD and Master's students in one of the computer science degree programmes. Students in other degree programmes will be allocated places in chronological order of registration as far as places are still available (see TUGonline).

Examination Method: The grade will be determined by your group presentation of a research topic (20%), the group development of an infovis prototype (40%), and an individual oral exam (40%).
