This bookintroduces a novel approach for intelligent visualizations that adapts thedifferent
visual variables and data processing to human's behavior and giventasks. Thereby a number of
new algorithms and methods are introduced to satisfythe human need of information and knowledge
and enable a usable and attractiveway of information acquisition. Each method and algorithm is
illustrated in areplicable way to enable the reproduction of the entire SemaVis system orparts
of it. The introduced evaluation is scientifically well-designed andperformed with more than
enough participants to validate the benefits of themethods. Beside the introduced new
approaches and algorithms readers may finda sophisticated literature review in Information
Visualization and VisualAnalytics Semantics and information extraction and intelligent and
adaptivesystems. This book is based on an awarded and distinguished doctoral thesis incomputer
science.
