Intelligent Graphic Interfaces for Displaying Large Amounts of Information

摘要

Research was conducted on intelligent interfaces for exploring and visualizinglarge amounts of diverse information for supporting the decision-making process. This research combined technical approaches for automatically generating visualizations of information with an approach to human-computer interaction that developed interactive techniques for performing data manipulation tasks with these visualizations. The important results of this research project include: the development of multiple interactive techniques for exploring information in visualizations, the coordination of these techniques within a single environment so they can be used in a concerted way, and the integration of these techniques within the SAGE data graphic design system so that they can be applied in a consistent manner across potentially hundreds of different graphics that vary along many dimensions.
