@conference{111, author = {Johannes Gärtner and Silvia Miksch and S Carl-McGrath}, title = {{ViCo: A Metric for the Complexity of Information Visualizations}}, abstract = {Information Visualization produces a visual representation of abstract data in order to facilitate a deeper level of understanding of the data under investigation. This paper introduces ViCo, a metric for assessing Information Visualization complexity. The proposed metric allows for the measurement of Information Visualization complexity with respect to tasks and users. The algorithm for developing such a metric for any chosen collection of visualizations is described in general and then applied to two examples for purposes of illustration.}, year = {2002}, journal = {Second International Conference on Theory and Application of Diagrams (Diagrams 2002)}, pages = {249–263}, publisher = {Springer}, url = {http://www.cvast.tuwien.ac.at/sites/default/files/publications/PDF/2002/diagrams_2002/gae_diagrams2002.pdf}, language = {eng}, }
