This paper presents the Media Watch on Climate Change, a public Web portal that captures and aggregates large archives of digital content from multiple stakeholder groups. Each week it assesses the domain-specific relevance of millions of documents and user comments from news media, blogs, Web 2.0 platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and YouTube, the Web sites of companies and NGOs, and a range of...
Massive and complex data impose a challenge on the public health community to explore, analyze, and synthesize valuable information to make timely informed decisions. This study exploits the use of Visual Analytics (VA) to enable health professionals to understand heterogeneous injury data and decide about dynamic health situations. Visual Analytics is defined as the "science of analytical reasoning...
Aperture is an open, adaptable and extensible Web 2.0 visualization framework, designed to produce visualizations for analysts and decision makers in any common web browser. Aperture utilizes a novel layer based approach to visualization assembly, and a data mapping API that simplifies the process of adaptable transformation of data and analytic results into visual forms and properties. This common...
Analysis supported by interactive visual interfaces is a complex process. It involves computational analytics (the visualization of both raw and derived data) and an analytical process which requires a human to extract knowledge from the data by directly interacting and manipulating both the visual and analytical components of the system. These two types of analytics are complementary and the goal...
Successful joint industry-university projects are as rewarding as they are rare. Even more rare is the effective transfer of technology from an academic research laboratory to an industrial application. Having the transfer take less than 3 years is rarest of all. This paper describes a case study where a successful joint industry-university project resulted in a considerable reduction in the time...
There is an increasing demand for manufacturing processes to be flexible, versatile, and adaptable. Research has been done on how to create modular processes that can be rearranged rapidly. Such processes require a new kind of process planning tool to support process modifications on short notice. Applying visual analytics techniques can help users understand the effects of such modifications and...
Taken in isolation, algorithmic "data sciences" approaches and human-centred "visual analytics" methods hold great promise for operationalizing archival datasets and streaming real-time data in support of strategic and operational decision-making across a broad range of human activities.
In this article, we present a qualitative methodology for design research in the domain of visual analytics for emergency management. This specific methodology is characterized by using non-participant observation and interviews as methods and by being theoretically informed by the multidisciplinary framework of visual analytics. The methodology collects data about: (1) workflow, (2) informational...
