Overview

These systems feature a combination of automatic data analysis procedures and interactive visualization.

Ensuring that this type of system is both technically feasible and user-friendly requires a thorough grasp of a variety of methods and technologies from different branches of computer science:

• information system development (e.g. databases, software engineering, and networks)
• visualization (e.g. computer graphics and computer vision)
• data analysis (e.g. data mining and visual analytics)
• algorithms (e.g. network science and signal processing) and
• information science (e.g. interaction design and information retrieval).
