Towards Characterizing Visualizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
The ability to characterize visualizations would bring several benefits to the design process. It would help designers to assess their designs, reuse existing designs in new contexts, communicate with other designers and write compact and unambiguous specifications. The research described in this paper is an initial effort to develop a theory-driven approach to the characterization of visualizations. We examine the Card and Mackinlay characterization tool and we show its limitations when it comes to performing a complete characterization.

Providing EA decision support for stakeholders by automated analyses
Enterprise architecture management (EAM) is a holistic approach to tackle the complex Business and IT architecture. The transformation of an organization’s EA towards a strategyoriented system is a continuous task. Many stakeholders have to elaborate on various parts of the EA to reach the best decisions to shape the EA towards an optimized support of the organizations’ capabilities. Since the ...
متن کاملVisual to Parametric Interaction (V2PI)
Typical data visualizations result from linear pipelines that start by characterizing data using a model or algorithm to reduce the dimension and summarize structure, and end by displaying the data in a reduced dimensional form. Sensemaking may take place at the end of the pipeline when users have an opportunity to observe, digest, and internalize any information displayed. However, some visual...
متن کاملTowards a dialogue system that supports rich visualizations of data
The goal of our research is to support fullfledged dialogue between a user and a system that transforms the user queries into visualizations. So far, we have collected a corpus where users explore data via visualizations; we have annotated the corpus for user intentions; and we have developed the core NL-to-visualization pipeline.

Visualizations are a crucial component in CAD systems, typically displaying design layout or physical behavior. In this paper we introduce in an innovative way visualizations, that combine both, the display of physical dimension and abstract concepts. These types of visualizations are part of MAGDA a CAD system for Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS). In MAGDA we display the geometries of t...
