Summary
Visualization research aims at providing insight into large, complicated data. Topological methods stand out by their solid mathematical ground guiding the algorithmic analysis and its presentation among the various visualization techniques. This book contains papers from the second workshop on 'Topology-Based Methods in Visualization'
