Coordinated multiple views

Hundreds of papers have been presented at the five conferences on Coordinated and Multiple Views (CMV) in Exploratory Visualization and related conferences on information visualization and visual analytics [R07]. However, CMV are still rarely implemented in commercial systems and many users are even not aware that multiple views are useful and coordination can help them to solve their problems. Even toolkits especially designed for information visualization often do not offer any coordination mechanisms for multiple views. One of possible reasons for this may be that existing CMV tools and approaches are insufficiently suited to real-life problems.
