Database Issues for Data Visualization -

. .

Résumé :
This volume presents the proceedings of the International Workshop on Database Issues for Data Visualization, held in conjunction with the IEEE Visualization '93 conference in San Jose, California in October 1993. The book contains 13 technical contributions organized in sections on datamodels; system integration issues; and interaction, user interfaces, and presentation issues. In addition there are three introductory section surveys and an overall workshop description summarizing the whole event. In total, the reader is presented with a thoroughly refereed and carefully edited state-of-the-art report on the hot interdisciplinary topic of database issues and data visualization.
