Interactive maps for visual data exploration
TL;DR: The cartographic knowledge of Descartes allows non-cartographers to receive proper presentations of their data, and the automation of map construction helps the users to save valuable time that can better be used for data analysis and problem-solving.

Abstract: Descartes (formerly called IRIS) is a software system designed to support visual exploration of spatially referenced data, e.g. demographic, economical, or cultural information about geographical objects or locations such as countries, districts, or cities. Descartes offers two integrated services: automated presentation of data on maps, and facilities to interactively manipulate these maps. Automated mapping is enabled by incorporating generic knowledge on map design into the system. Descartes selects suitable presentation methods according to characteristics of the variables to be analysed and relationships among those variables if more than one were selected simultaneously. The cartographic knowledge of Descartes allows non-cartographers to receive proper presentations of their data, and the automation of map construction helps the users to save valuable time that can better be used for data analysis and problem-solving. Exploratory data analysis requires highly interactive, dynamic data displays. We s...

Online Prediction Under Model Uncertainty via Dynamic Model Averaging: Application to a Cold Rolling Mill
TL;DR: DMA over a large model space led to better predictions than the single best performing physically motivated model, and it recovered both constant and time-varying regression parameters and model specifications quite well.

Gennady Andrienko,Natalia Andrienko,Piotr Jankowski,Daniel A. Keim,Menno-Jan Kraak,Alan M. MacEachren,Stefan Wrobel +6 more
TL;DR: This article summarizes the results of the workshop on Visualization, Analytics & Spatial Decision Support, which took place at the GIScience conference in September 2006, and suggests a new research direction ‘Geovisual Analytics for Spatial decision Support’, which emphasizes the importance of visualization and interactive visual interfaces and the link with the emerging research discipline of Visual Analytics.
Exploratory spatio-temporal visualization: an analytical review
TL;DR: A structured inventory of existing exploratory techniques related to the types of data and tasks they are appropriate for is considered, which is potentially helpful for data analysts—users of geovisualization tools.

Twenty years of progress: GIScience in 2010
TL;DR: It is 20 years since the term "geographic information science" was suggested to encompass the set of fundamental research issues that surround GIS, and several themes are suggested for future research, based both on gaps in what has been accomplished thus far, and on technology trends that will themselves raise research questions.
