However, the specific requirements of interactive Information Visualization (InfoVis) applications in terms of graphics performance and interactivity have not yet been investigated systematically in this context. In order to assess browser-based application platforms, we provide a systematic comparison of server-based rendering, Java applets, Flash, and Silverlight from several points of view. We aim to aid InfoVis developers in choosing the appropriate technology for their needs.{\textless}/p{\textgreater}}, booktitle = {Proceedings of 12th {International} {Conference} on {Information} {Visualisation} ({IV08})}, publisher = {IEEE Computer Society Press}, author = {Lammarsch, Tim and Aigner, Wolfgang and Bertone, Alessio and Gärtner, Johannes and Miksch, Silvia and Turic, Thomas}, editor = {Banissi, Ebad and Stuart, Liz and Jern, Mikael and Andrienko, Gennady L. and Marchese, Francis T. and Memon, Nasrullah and Alhajj, Reda and Wyeld, Theodor G. and Burkhard, Remo Aslak and Grinstein, Georges G. and Groth, Dennis P. and Ursyn, Anna and Maple, Carsten and Faiola, Anthony and Craft, Brock}, year = {2008}, keywords = {Extern, evaluation, information visualization, programming}, pages = {194--199}, }
