Big-Data Visualization

Almost all fields of study and practice sooner or later will confront the big-data problem. Visualization has proven effective for not only presenting essential information in vast amounts of data but also driving complex analyses. Big-data analytics and discovery present new research opportunities to the computer graphics and visualization community. This special issue highlights the latest advancements in solving the big-data problem through visual means, with four articles on new techniques, systems, or applications.
