Thema: Information Visualization

Ziele:

Informationsvisualisierung (InfoVis) befasst sich mit der visuellen Darstellung von abstrakten Daten, wie sie z.B. in der Medizin, aber auch in vielen anderen Bereichen vorkommen. Interaktive InfoVis Tools ermöglichen es den UserInnen, das Datenmaterial zu untersuchen und wichtige Informationen rasch zu erfassen. Im Rahmen der Forschung zur Informationsvisualisierung wurde bereits eine beachtliche Anzahl an verschiedenen Methoden entwickelt. Ausgehend von grundlegenden Publikationen und konkreten InfoVis Tools sollen sich die Studierenden in die Problemfelder und Potentiale dieser Methoden einarbeiten und durch eigenständige Recherchen einen ersten Einblick in den Wissenschaftsbetrieb bekommen. Neben dem Thema Informationsvisualisierung steht das wissenschaftliche Arbeiten im Vordergrund.
