Part of your assignment is to find and hand in one or more InfoVis papers

Finding one paper is required. Finding a second one, from a distinct source, will increase your project grade by 2% (not two course points). Finding a third paper, also from a distinct source, will give a total increase of 5% for your project grade. By distinct source, I mean for example, that one could be from an IEEE publication, another from an ACM publication and still another from neither IEEE or ACM. Below, I give you three useful leads toward finding papers.

Journals and proceedings of the IEEE and ACM can be found and downloaded using the NU Library website. Another useful source is papers posted to CiteSeer. You can search those sites directly using the search options that they provide. Alternative, you can try the following Google search strings which can be quite helpful.

• site:citeseer.ist.psu.edu "information visualization"
  (700 hits) But the important thing about CiteSeer is that the papers are from many sources, not just ACM or IEEE, and many are available free for downloading.


• site:portal.acm.org "information visualization"
  (5,400 hits)


• site:computer.org "information visualization"
  This doesn't give you individual papers, so you might have more luck with:
  filetype:pdf ieee "information visualization"
  Once you find IEEE papers by this latter search, they should be retrievable through the NU Library site, or through your student membership in IEEE, ACM or both.

An example of a paper easily obtained through CiteSeer is:
Graph Visualization and Navigation in Information Visualization: a Survey (2000) by Ivan Herman, Guy Melançon, M. Scott Marshall in IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, located at http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/herman00graph.html This is a paper with 47 citations on CiteSeer, quite a good number.
