Information visualization is a part of most of the day to day activities e.g. Stock market prices, Budget comparison, Football statistics. This colloquium mainly discusses the significance and purposes of information visualization, recent techniques, and tools which are in use and also the future of information visualization. Speakers and Topics Benil Joseph - Introduction Kangzangbe Chuilo - Motivation & Evolution of Information Visualization Debanjali Bain - Principles of Information Visualization Ashish dixit - Techniques of Information Visualization Gokul R - Information Visualization Tools Swagata Rana - Information Visualization and Library Sneha Bharti - Case Study Jyotima Patel - Challenges and Concerns Vaisakh Babu - Conclusion Coordinator: Dr. Biswanath Dutta Date: 23-01-2019 Time: 2 p.m. Venue: DRTC Class Room (G-16), ISI Bangalore.
