[SIGCHI] [Fwd: DIST. LECTURESHIP SERIES, Shneiderman, Dec. 8]

[Joshua Benjamin <jebenjam@xxxxxxxx>]

Sounds like a really interesting talk.

Ben Shneiderman is a major player in Human-Computer Interaction. Some of 
the future of interaction is coming out of his labs. Feel free to browse 
around his lab's projects http://www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/

        The Eyes Have It: User Interfaces for Information Visualization


                Ben Shneiderman
                Department of Computer Science
                University of Maryland
                College Park, Maryland

                1320 Digital Computer Laboratory


Human perceptual skills are remarkable, but largely underutilized by
current graphical user interfaces.  The next generation of animated GUIs
and visual data mining tools can provide users with remarkable
capabilities if designers follow the Visual Information-Seeking Mantra:

Overview first, zoom and filter, then details-on-demand

Then dynamic queries allow user control of widgets, such as sliders and
buttons that update the result set within 100msec.  Seven types of
information visualizations (1-, 2-, 3-, multi-dimensional data,
temporal, tree and network data). Demos include multi-dimensional data
in dynamic scattergrams (www.spotfire.com) and time series data applied
to financial and genomic data (www.cs.umd.edu/hcil/timesearcher).

Examples of hierarchical data presentations include treemaps for stock
market data (www.smartmoney.com/marketmap), production
monitoring/product catalogs (www.hivegroup.com), and Census data.
Demonstrations will be shown.


Bio.
Ben Shneiderman is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science,
founding director of the Human-Computer Interaction Laboratory, and a
member of the Institutes for Advanced Computer Studies and for Systems
Research, all at the University of Maryland, College Park. He was
elected as a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) in
1997 and of the American Association for the Advancement of Science in
2001. The ACM's Special Interest Group in Computer Human Interaction
bestowed a Lifetime Achievement Award on Shneiderman in 2001.
