International Conference on Coordinated and Multiple Views in Exploratory Visualization (CMV 2003)

Over the past few years the rise of Information Visualization has produced a diverse range of dynamic and highly interactive visual environments. These exploratory tools enable a user to investigate, try out scenarios and search the information and visual space to generate clearer hypothesis and develop a greater understanding of the underlying information. Such investigative environments often utilize many different views of the same data, so the user understands the information from different perspectives; the views are also tightly coupled together to allow rapid coordinated investigation and exploration. The goal of this conference is to bring together top practitioners, who are researching in the area of coordinated and multiple views in exploratory visualization (CMV), and to analyze and discuss state-of-the art concepts and future opportunities in this area. The papers presented in CMV 2003 represent novel ideas and current thoughts of coordinated and multiple view exploratory visualization. They demonstrate its importance, diversity, and breadth of application and permit the reader to study this exciting research area.
