  abstract =   "We provide a description of the tools and techniques used in
               our analysis of the VAST 2008 Challenge dealing with mass
               movement of persons departing Isla Del Sue˜no on boats for
               the United States during 2005–2007. We used visual
               analytics to explore migration patterns, characterize the
               choice and evolution of landing sites, characterize the
               geographical patterns of interdictions and determine the
               successful landing rate. Our ComVis tool, in connection with
               some helper applications and Google Earth, allowed us to
               explore geo-temporal characteristics of the data set and
               answer the challenge questions. The ComVis project file
               captures the visual analysis context and facilitates better
               collaboration among team members.",
