Starting with a selective retrospective of the history of software visualization, I will identify various trends and paradigms of previous and current research. In particular, I will discuss examples of applying visualization techniques to analyze the past and present state of software as well as to predict its future development. I will argue that prediction is an important task, but that software...
Our society is creating, storing and using an ever increasing volumes of digital multimedia content. We have access to hundreds of billions of images and videos on the Internet, in the archives of professional content creators and owners, and in the personal libraries of home users.

One of the grand challenges in our networked world are the large, weakly structured and unstructured data sets. This is most evident in Biomedicine (Medical Informatics + Bioinformatics): The trend towards personalized medicine results in increasingly large amounts of (-omics) data. In the life sciences domain, most data models are characterized by complexity, which makes manual analysis very time-consuming...
With augmented reality becoming increasingly mobile, the need for ubiquitously available and flexibly configurable tracking services is becoming more and more urgent. At TU Munich we envision AR-ready environments that offer stationary tracking resources - to be fused on mobile devices with their own, built-in tracking facilities, depending on availability and application requirements. The talk will...
