Visual DM is an emerging area of explorative and intelligent data analysis and mining, based on the integration of concepts from computer graphics, visualization metaphors and methods, information and scientific data visualization, visual perception, cognitive psychology, diagrammatic reasoning, visual data formatting, and 3-D collaborative virtual environments. Research and developments in the methods and techniques for visual DM have helped to identify many of the research directions in the field, including visual methods for data analysis, visual DM process models, visual reasoning and uncertainty management, visual explanations, algorithmic animation methods, perceptual and cognitive aspects, and interactivity in visual DM. Other key areas include the study of domain knowledge in visual reasoning, virtual environments, visual analysis of large DBs, collaborative exploration and model building, metrics for evaluation, generic system architectures and prototypes, and methods for visualizing semantic content (Han & Kamber, 2001).
