Abstract
This chapter briefly summarizes the content of the book and describes practical concerns of visualizing time-oriented data in real-world data settings. Visual analytics is briefly outlined as a modern approach that combines visualization, interaction, and computational analysis more tightly to facilitate data analysis activities better. Finally, research opportunities for future work are discussed.
