The primary goal for a special Exploratory Cartographic Visualization
issue of Computers & Geosciences is to provide readers with a coherent set
of papers that present research dealing with advances in map-based
visualization of geo referenced data. We are soliciting papers that cover
three key aspects of this research: (1) theoretical concepts that underpin
extension of cartographic principles to dynamic environments for supporting
research and decision-making, (2) implementation of concepts in exploratory
cartographic tools, and (3) innovative applications of those tools. A
second goal (and the goal behind the electronic component of the special
issue) is to, for the first time, provide readers with dynamic
illustrations that represent the dynamic tools being discussed (and to
provide authors with a better way to present their research into dynamic
tools). The special issue is being co-edited by Alan M. MacEachren (chair)
and Menno-Jan Kraak (co-chair) of the International Cartographic
Association Commission on Visualization and is a collaborative activity
between the Commission and Computers & Geosciences.
