A continuación un mensaje de Xavier Ferré a la lista: --- Estimados miembros de la lista de correo de Cadius,
En el marco del Día Mundial de la Usabilidad, que se celebra el próximo 14 de noviembre, Ben Shneiderman, de la Universidad de Maryland, pronunciará en la Facultad de Informática de la Universidad Politécnica de Madrid <http://www.fi.upm.es/> (Boadilla del Monte) una conferencia a las 11:30 horas con el siguiente título: "The Thrill of Discovery: Information Visualization for High-Dimensional Spaces". El profesor Shneiderman es ampliamente conocido en la comunidad IPO, tanto por su libro "Designing the user interface" como por sus aportaciones en este campo, por las cuales obtuvo en 2001 el ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Achievement Award. No es necesario reservar plaza, pero se ruega se informe a [EMAIL PROTECTED] de la intención de asistir para poder prever el número de asistentes. Cómo llegar a la Facultad de Informática de la UPM <http://www.fi.upm.es/?pagina=166>. Esta conferencia es una actividad que forma parte del día mundial de la usabilidad (World Usability Day 2006 <http://www.worldusabilityday.org/>). Se repartirá material promocional de este evento a los primeros asistentes que asistan al evento. Más abajo se describe el contenido de la conferencia, la cual durará 75 minutos. Un saludo, Xavier Ferré. -- Xavier Ferré Facultad de Informática - Universidad Politécnica de Madrid - Spain http://is.ls.fi.upm.es/xavier/index_e.html <http://is.ls.fi.upm.es/xavier/index_e.html> The Thrill of Discovery: Information Visualization for High-Dimensional Spaces Ben Shneiderman (University of Maryland - College Park) Martes 14 de noviembre, 11:30. Salón de Actos <http://www.fi.upm.es/?pagina=223> Interactive information visualization provide researchers with remarkable tools for discovery. By combining powerful data mining methods with user-controlled interfaces, users are beginning to benefit from these potent telescopes for high-dimensional spaces. They can begin with an overview, zoom in on areas of interest, filter out unwanted items, and then click for details-on-demand. With careful design and efficient algorithms, the dynamic queries approach to data exploration can provide 100msec updates even for million-record databases. This talk will start by reviewing the growing commercial success stories such as www.spotfire.com <http://www.spotfire.com/>, www.smartmoney.com/marketmap <http://www.smartmoney.com/marketmap> and www.hivegroup.com <http://www.hivegroup.com/>. Then it will cover recent research progress for visual exploration of large time series data <http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/timesearcher> applied to financial, Ebay auction, and genomic data. Our next step was to combine these key ideas to produce the Hierarchical Clustering Explorer 3.0 <http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/hce> that now includes the rank-by-feature framework. By judiciously choosing from appropriate ranking criteria for low-dimensional axis-parallel projections, users can locate desired features of higher dimensional spaces. Demonstrations will be shown. Professor Shneiderman's short bio Ben Shneiderman <http://www.cs.umd.edu/%7Eben/> is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science and Founding Director (1983-2000) of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory <http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/> at the University of Maryland. He was elected as a Fellow of the Association for Computing (ACM) in 1997 and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) in 2001. He received the ACM SIGCHI Lifetime Achievement Award in 2001. Ben is the author of "Designing the User Interface: Strategies for Effective Human-Computer Interaction <http://www.awl.com/DTUI/>" (4th ed. April 2004). With S. Card and J. Mackinlay, he co-authored "Readings in Information Visualization: Using Vision to Think" (1999). With Ben Bederson he co-authored "The Craft of Information Visualization" (2003). His book "Leonardo's Laptop <http://mitpress.mit.edu/leonardoslaptop>" appeared in October 2002 (MIT Press) and won the IEEE book award for Distinguished Literary Contribution. _______________________________________________ altas, bajas y modificaciones: http://www.cadius.org/lista/opciones.html
