[Sigmet-officers] Panel proposal for ASIST2012

[bei wen]

A panel focusing on information visualization tools and techniques sounds
interesting for me.  I also feel it will be useful to have a look at
open-source toolkits extracting, processing and analyzing raw data, such as
Leydesdorff’s tool (inputting and processing), SAINT (inputting and
processing), Network Workbench (analyzing and visualizing), VOSviewer
(analyzing and visualizing), etc.



Best regards,

Bei
