This text examines the use of collaboration technologies in the problem-solving or decision-making process. These systems are widely used in both education and in the workplace to enable virtual groups to discuss and exchange ideas on issues ranging from applied problems to theoretical debate. While some systems are text-based, the majority rely on visualization techniques to allow participants to represent their ideas in a more flexible, graphical form. The text evaluates existing systems, and looks at how the specific needs of users in both educational and corporate environments can be reflected in the design of new systems.

This book is the outcome of the Dagstuhl Seminar on "Information Visualization -- Human-Centered Issues in Visual Representation, Interaction, and Evaluation" held at Dagstuhl Castle, Germany, from May 28 to June 1, 2007. Information Visualization (InfoVis) is a relatively new research area, which focuses on the use of visualization techniques to help people understand and analyze data. This book documents and extends the findings and discussions of the various sessions in detail. The seven contributions cover the most important topics: There are general reflections on the value of information visualization; evaluating information visualizations; theoretical foundations of information visualization; teaching information visualization. And specific aspects on creation and collaboration: engaging new audiences for information visualization; process and pitfalls in writing information visualization research papers; and visual analytics: definition, process, and challenges.

Dieses Buch bietet eine breit gefächerte Einführung in die Bereiche Computer Supported Cooperative Work (kurz CSCW - "Rechnergestützte Gruppenarbeit") und Groupware und wendet sich einerseits an Leser aus der Wissenschaft und andererseits an Praktiker unterschiedlicher Bereiche wie Informatik, Soziologie und Psychologie. CSCW dient dazu, soziale Interaktion zu verstehen und technische Systeme (Groupware) zur Unterstützung der sozialen Interaktion zwischen Benutzern zu entwerfen und zu evaluieren. Dieses Buch will den zweigleisigen Austausch zwischen CSCW-Forschung in der Wissenschaft und der CSCW-Entwicklung in der Praxis unterstützen.
