  • Abstract
    This paper describes a browsing system for a database using visualization of user preferences. The system has the following features: the use of 3D thumbnail objects to represent their contents and properties; the use of some property views and multidimensional scaling (MDS) to lay out the objects in information space; and the use of an update mechanism to perform the adaptive visualization to changes in user preferences. In this environment, the user becomes aware that there are information sets which the user seems to be interested in, from objects in the information space, and stroll there
