Abstract

This book is written in honor of Jim Thomas by colleagues and friends who were inspired by his energy and enthusiasm for the fields of visual analytics and visualization. Resources that introduce these fields are provided, and these also contain bibliographies of further references. In addition, a number of organizations and institutions have provided repositories, portals, and libraries of further information that can be accessed on-line. Information is also provided on international conferences. The content of this present volume is summarized. Chapters are contributed by leading international researchers in the field with an emphasis upon exciting new aspects which are driving the field forward. It is certain that the challenges of Big Data will increase and therefore it is important to continually innovate and devise new ways of addressing these.
