Special Issue of JISE: Discovering knowledge through highly interactive
information based systems

Aims & scope

In the current digital information age, a critical issue is how we process
the knowledge behind the huge amount of information that appears every day
through every aspect of life (news, social media, TV, radio, email, blogs,
papers and so on). Everywhere you look, the quantity of information in the
world is soaring, at the beginning of 21st century there was the estimation
that the world produced one to two exabytes (billion gigabytes) of unique
information every year (Lyman and Varian, 2000), The Economist estimates
that mankind created 150 exabytes of data in 2005 and 1,200 exabytes in
2010. That means lots of data in form of text, numbers, images, sounds, etc.
that are deemed important by humans for different purposes.

The problem is the capacity to process, understand and take advantage from
this information overload. Visualization techniques have the ability to
convey information at the high bandwidth of the human perceptual system,
facilitating recognition of patterns in the information space and supporting
navigation in large collections (Thomas et al., 2001). However, the
challenge is not only knowledge representation in information system but
highly interactive environments that offer a deep data interaction that
allows non trivial knowledge discovering and decision making by users.

The combination of visualization techniques, visual analytics techniques,
data mining techniques, intelligent recommendation agents, user centered
evaluation and usability patterns, etc. in interactive systems is a key
issue for knowledge discovering in current and future information systems.

Topics

Areas for inclusion in this special issue comprise those related to
knowledge discovering and visual analytics in interactive information
systems. Every submission must spell out the implications of findings in the
paper for highly human-computer interactive information systems. Topics
covered include, but are not limited to:

•                     Interactive knowledge discovering

•                     Knowledge discovering in visual collaborative systems

•                     Visual representations and interaction techniques

•                     Analytical reasoning

•                     Data representations and transformations

•                     Visual analytics information systems experiences

•                     Visualization in user centered system

Contributors

Guest editors disseminate the call for paper in scientific distribution
lists and communities and specific related forums. Also the information
about this special issue will be available in the GRIAL research site.
