		<description><![CDATA[With the advent of the Web, search has become the prominent paradigm for information seeking, both across the online space and within enterprises. Search frameworks and components can be used to build search-based applications in diverse vertical fields. However, no precise engineering methods and approaches have been devised for this class of applications.

ACM Queue has just published an interesting survey by Jeffrey Heer, Michael Bostock, and Vadim Ogievetsky on advanced visualization techniques.

The survey provides an introduction to several techniques for visualizing and interacting with diverse data  sets, including:

Time-Series Data

Index Charts
Stacked Graphs
Small Multiples
Horizon Graphs


Statistical Distributions

Stem-and-leaf Plots
Q-Q Plots
Scatter Plot Matrix
Parallel Coordinates ( you can appreciate a running example of Parallel [...]]]></description>

Their lack of fixed table schemas and the avoidance of join operators allow these tools to scale horizontally, storing huge amounts of data and providing high-performance access to it.
This class of databases (also known as NoSQL databases) often employs a distributed [...]]]></description>
