The main focus of the seminar is to survey, review, and discuss best practices and guidelines in the large field of visualization. We will review key guidelines and best practices provided on surveys and state of the art reports about their generality, applicability, and usefulness in particular scenarios.
For this purpose, a list of survey papers will be provided. Each participant will choose two surveys and prepare a summary presenta-tion for each of them. Each participant will also participate as a discussant for two other presentations and provide arguments or counterarguments to contest the presented guidelines.

The seminar targets BSc students in informatics.
Successful completion of the seminar requires the following:Select two survey papers from the provided list of papers.
Each student will thus have to present two such reading papers in detail in class.
Students also have to select papers from others on which they have to act as discussion moderator.
2 papers will be assigned to each student. (discussion papers) Each student will have to moderate the question & answer part of two such discussion papers, after their presentation.
As moderator, the presented paper must also be read and 3 key questions must be prepared to ask after the presentation. These questions can be, e.g. to challenge the method, to scrutinize the technique or to identify the limitations in the results, and must be argued for (see deliverable).
Students will thus be scheduled in pairs of presenter and moderator throughout the semester.
The seminar presentations includes two talks, followed by a discussion of your presentation and the topic. Attendance and active participation in seminar presentations and discussions of other students is mandatory.
You will need to hand in all your presentation materials, such as slides, notes, figures etc.
Close attention must be paid to the structure of the presentation, which should in general include a short introduction and motivation of the topic, a precise statement of the problem, a detailed analysis of the method, a summary of the results and a personal conclusion.
It is strongly recommended that you rehearse your presentation beforehand and review the presentation with the seminar assistant.
A good starting point for discussion of visualization guidelines is
VisGuides.org, and for finding recent related publications (besides) Google are the ACM Digital Library, the IEEE Digital Library or the Eurographics Digital Library where a majority of the relevant publications are hosted. You can access the content from these Digital Libraries from within the UZH (VPN) network.
Further publication venues include the following conferences and symposia: IEEE Visualization/InfoVis/VASR, IEEE Pacific Visualization, EUROGRAPHICS, EuroVis, EuroVA, ACM SIGGRAPH, ACM SIGGRAPH Visualization Symposium, along with the associated journals (ACM Transactions of Graphics, IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics, and Computer Graphics Forum). See Section Links further below for links.

Finally, Google is your friend -- most authors put their papers online either on their personal websites or in some University provided space. Further, you might find presentation notes, sample implementations and other notes that can help understanding otherwise technically-advanced papers.
