Objetivos

1. To introduce students to the fundamental problems, concepts, and approaches in the design and analysis of data visualization systems.


2. To familiarize students with the stages of the visualization pipeline, including data modeling, mapping data attributes to graphical attributes, perceptual issues, existing visualization paradigms, techniques, and tools, and evaluating the effectiveness of visualizations for specific data, task, and user types.


3. To enable students to develop complex / advanced interactive information visualization systems.

Métodos de ensino e atividades de aprendizagem

Teaching will have 3 major components:

• Theoretical-practical classes - partly expository and with intensive recourse to the accompanied resolution of exercises, analysis of case studies and two seminars on specific topics, which will take place 50% in person and 50% virtual (online).
• - Laboratory classes and/or seminars - for supervised execution and individual assessment of practical work in a computing environment for personal computers, internet, and mobile devices.
• - Tutorial guidance - for personalized monitoring of the execution of distance projects.

Document files will be made available with the subject of laboratory exercises to be executed autonomously (asynchronous regime), but with monitoring by videoconference at the established time and, the use of synchronous classes (by video conference) for clarification of doubts and individual monitoring.

Obtenção de frequência

The evaluation will cover all 3 components, namely:

• Through two seminars for which students will have to independently prepare their presentations. Theoretical knowledge, analysis and interpretation skills will be assessed.
• Through a selection of the best laboratories, accompanying execution skills will be evaluated.
• Through the execution of a project (individual or up to 2 students) the capacity for autonomous work and execution will be evaluated.
