This short active tutorial has been designed to equip Information Visualization specialists with geo-spatial knowledge and skills that will help them use geographic information techniques and technologies effectively in their visualization.
The tutorial will be organised as an 'active learning' session. Each of the major topics will be introduced by an instructor. This will be followed by time for participants to complete a short task that allows them to incrementally build a simple visualization application from diverse data sources.
Those participating will be expected to do so in a 'hands on' manner and a notebook computer will be required.
