Abstract:
this report is to look at interactions in Visualization User Analysis DataBase Fig. 1. Interactions between the user, Database, Visualization, and Ana lysis The components of scenarios in user interaction explored in the report database exploration, from a system and user perspective. The ultimate research goal is to effectively support user-data interactions in both the underlying data models and high-level data interfaces. The two primary focus areas are: 1. Interactions Between System Components - What are the system components, and how do they interact/communicate with each other? What are the duties and responsibilities of each component? What constraints must be considered to integrate the components? 2. Interactions Between User and System - What does the user interact with and how does the user interact with each system component? What additional constraints does the user impose on the system, or what constraints are placed on the user by the system? In this report we describe the system components and outline several research issues necessary to make the visualization component the interface to the analysis, database, and visualization. Figure 2 shows the user interacting directly with the visualization, which then acts as an intermediary to the other systems. This changes the user from being surrounded by many tools, to one using and interacting with a single tool, but managing the same sophistication of analysis, data-mining, knowledge discovery, and visualization. Visualization's effective human communication qualities enable it to play this important role.
