This semester the 6559 (888 before) of Prof. Shen will meet every Friday from 2:00 to 3:30 PM in Dreese Lab 698. The goal is to review the paper from recent VisWeek proceedings.

The presentation schedule is maintained by Tzu-Hsuan Wei.

The following links are interesting papers (to me) from Vis '11 and SciVis '12.

PS. As this semester we are trying to know more about the recent trends in vis area, we have Google Discussion group (here) to share the topic. I also listed some important names in visualization area. My criteria is simple: If a person has been awarded by IEEE VGTC or s/he severed as paper chairs, you should know his/her name.
