Data Mining and InformationVisualization: a result+data approach

There is a common agreement that integration of Data Mining and Information Visualization techniques can provide the right tools needed to handle the huge data collection we are faced with today. Data Mining and Information Visualization represent different approaches to solve a common problem: extract knowledge from data. The joint usage of these techniques can supply the lack that each one has in reaching the goal. In this paper we present a system in which the exploitation of both Data Mining and Information Visualization techniques provides a high degree of synergy and interaction, relating results coming from Data Mining activities with the underling data from which such results come up in a intuitive and usable manner.
