Visual Analytics for Software Engineering: a Rich Opportunity to Turn Complexity into Understanding

Visual Analytics enables analyses, assessments and communications of results from analytics on large complex multi-source, multi-type information sources. It goes beyond traditional information visualization for software engineering as seen in the recent special issue of Journal of Information Visualization Summer 2009 and at ACM SOFTVIZ 2008. This talk will provide an introduction to this science of visual analytics, the history and unique rapid growth in visual analytics, examples of early systems and technologies that demonstrate the value, and set the stage for producing a roadmap for future solutions to these rich opportunities, and encourage areas for collaboration.
