The goal of the CMV 2006 conference is to bring together top coordinated and multiple view visualization practitioners in order to share state-of-the-art concepts and discuss future research opportunities in exploratory visualization. Information visualization has produced a diverse assortment of highly interactive visual environments. Coordinated and multiple view visualization tools enable users to generate hypotheses and test scenarios by exploring and analyzing multi-dimensional information spaces visually. Multiple views help users conceptualize information from different perspectives simultaneously. Coordination allows users to investigate information through rapid, tightly-coupled interaction within and between multiple views.
