Description
The field of Computer Supported Argument Visualization is currently
attracting increasing attention in education and business as a means of
helping co-located and virtual groups model and debate controversial
problems. Visualizing Argumentation brings together the leading
practitioners and researchers to provide the first in-depth coverage of
this field. It gives an overview of both the conceptual and technical
foundations, and also provides good coverage of practical issues,
illustrated by real-life case studies. It will be of particular interest
to practitioners and researchers concerned with knowledge management,
software usability, information visualization and knowledge
representation.
Reviews / Votes
From the reviews:
"Clearly written and well organized in this edited book, the purpose of Argument Visualization is to enlighten human intellect by creating collective intellect through dialogues as well as by fostering sense-making learning . . Indeed, this book presents its pioneer role in the CSCW research, and gives visions on the application of CSAV. The experiences from case studies in this book will be highly valuable for any reader who is interested in information technology, computer-in-education, psychology, HCl, knowledge management, computer engineering, or policy makers."
