This collection of peer-reviewed workshop papers provides comprehensive coverage of cutting-edge research into topological approaches to data analysis and visualization. It encompasses the full range of new algorithms and insights, including fast homology computation, comparative analysis of simplification techniques, and key applications in materials and medical science. The book also addresses core research challenges such as the representation of large and complex datasets, and integrating numerical methods with robust combinatorial algorithms. In keeping with the focus of the TopoInVis 2017 Workshop, the contributions reflect the latest advances in finding experimental solutions to open problems in the sector. They provide an essential snapshot of state-of-the-art research, helping researchers to keep abreast of the latest developments and providing a basis for future work. Gathering papers by some of the world's leading experts on topological techniques, the book represents a valuable contribution to a field of growing importance, with applications in disciplines ranging from engineering to medicine.

This book is a result of a workshop, the 8th of the successful TopoInVis workshop series, held in 2019 in Nykoeping, Sweden. The workshop regularly gathers some of the world's leading experts in this field. Thereby, it provides a forum for discussions on the latest advances in the field with a focus on finding practical solutions to open problems in topological data analysis for visualization. The contributions provide introductory and novel research articles including new concepts for the analysis of multivariate and time-dependent data, robust computational approaches for the extraction and approximations of topological structures with theoretical guarantees, and applications of topological scalar and vector field analysis for visualization. The applications span a wide range of scientific areas comprising climate science, material sciences, fluid dynamics, and astronomy. In addition, community efforts with respect to joint software development are reported and discussed.
