This Master’s thesis focuses on the Design, Development and Evaluation of a novel Visual Analytics Dashboard for Big Data Analytics. The presented dashboard connects social activity from Facebook with a thorough event timeline of the factory disasters in the Bangladesh garment industry. Bangladesh depicts one of the largest garment industries in the world, and their mostly female workers only r...

Future applications in the home will make use of a variety of distributed sensing devices that use detailed information about the home occupants and their environment. To address users’ privacy concerns, we argue that systems that support rich sensor applications in the home should provide users with adequate transparency and control over how sensor data is collected, processed, and shared arou...

This paper presents an analytics platform that has been developed for designers and teachers who build and use interactive e-books for learning. The analytics dashboard aims to increase awareness of the use of the e-books so that designers (and teachers in their role as designers) can make informed decisions on how to redesign and improve them taking into account both the overall learning desig...

In this paper, we propose the dashboards of the Pco-Vision platform to support and enhance Project-Based Learning (PBL). Based on the assumption that Self-Regulated Learning (SRL) is a major component of PBL, we have focused our attention in the design of a dashboard to enhance SRL in PBL. We describe the characteristics of PBL and show why a dashboard can help involved SRL processes, more part...

Monitoring and controlling business processes is a challenging task: different data sources need to be combined, appropriate visualizations need to be defined to observe certain goals or Key Performance Indicators (KPI). In this paper, a new semantic dashboard description language used in a process-oriented dashboard design methodology is introduced, to help users focus more on business process...

Management of complex chronic diseases such as diabetes requires the assimilation and interpretation of multiple laboratory test results. Traditional electronic health records tend to display laboratory results in a piecemeal and segregated fashion. This makes the assembly and interpretation of results related to diabetes care challenging. We developed a diabetes-specific clinical decision supp...

Research shows that nurses want to provide more input into assessing patient acuity, changes in patient needs and staffing requirements. The Dashboard Project involved the further development and application of an electronic monitoring tool that offers a single source of nursing, patient and organizational information. It is designed to help inform nurse staffing decisions within a hospital set...

Flood management is an important approach to reduce damage caused by floods. In this context, technological architectures which work in real-time are needed. However, Brazil has faced many structural difficulties in obtaining updated information on the current state of its rivers. To address this problem, this paper outlines a geosensor dashboard called AGORA-GeoDash, which processes data strea...

In this design study, we present a visualization technique that segments patients’ histories instead of treating them as raw event sequences, aggregates the segments using criteria such as the whole history or treatment combinations, and then visualizes the aggregated segments as static dashboards that are arranged in a dashboard network to show longitudinal changes. The static dashboards were ...
