Special issue introduction: Approaching spatial uncertainty visualization to support reasoning and decision making

Mason, J. S., Klippel, A., Bleisch, S. , Slingsby, A. & Deitrick, S. (2016). Special issue introduction: Approaching spatial uncertainty visualization to support reasoning and decision making. Spatial Cognition and Computation, 16(2), pp. 97-105. doi: 10.1080/13875868.2016.1138117

Abstract

While research on uncertainty and decision-making has a long history across several disciplines, recent technological developments compel researchers to rethink how to best address and advance the understanding of how humans reason and make decisions under spatial uncertainty. This introduction presents a visual summary graphic to provide an overview of each article in this special issue. Upon viewing these visual summaries, the reader will find that each of these articles covers different topics in the uncertainty visualization domain, offering complementary research in this field. Extending this body of research and finding new ways to explore how these visualizations may help or hinder the analytical and reasoning process of humans continues to be a necessary step towards designing more effective uncertainty visualizations to support reasoning and decision-making.
