Group B: Information Representation and Visualization
FOCUS OF THE GROUP
Research to facilitate the development of user-centric models and systems to enable the interactive creation , exploration and manipulation of multi-modal information
RECOMMENDATIONS:
Collaborative evaluation of modes of interaction.
Development of evaluation models and strengthening the designer-user and the user-user interaction
Exploitation of spatial metaphors for interaction with non-spatial information.
The use of metadata and ontologies for effective retrieval.
Support for rapid construction of visualizations by non-experts.
Further support of underlying science and technology issues including speech understanding, image understanding and similarity evaluation, and quality of service.
Spatial and temporal integration of data of various scales and resolutions.
Scalability of access mechanisms and summarization of results.
Interdisciplinary Applications
What can we bring to this:
not domain expertise
Interdisciplinary Workshops
to educate and be educated
to establish contacts for future collaborative projects
special sessions at conferences of other disciplines
Wired Doctors
Human body.
Medical record systems.
Video clips of angiograms, ultrasound probes etc
Central problem of security and guarantee that data refers to correct patient.
Use a physical swipe card attached to patient???
Visual tools to aid medical decision methods
Digital Village
Communities providing public access to local information
visualization of neighborhoods
superposition of community statistics
local navigation; tourist attractions
integrating the digital village into the digital world
Investigation of visual metaphors for the distributed workspace environment:
iconic desktops;
virtual reality environments;
mixed metaphor environments;
the challenge of new communication and data collection devices - mobile environment
Multi-media queries:
"Find me the restaurants that are open after 11pm - that are in safe areas and look nice!"
Visual integration across database systems
Developing theories for describing metadata
Multi-resolution visualization; scaleable visual queries
Similarity measures for domain specific applications
Hierarchical arrangement of visual and non-visual information,
visualization and summarizing: overviews
Develop theories for describing and classifying metadata. Interdisciplinary workshops.
Human body.
Molecular biology.
Medical record systems. Video clips of angiograms, ultrasound probes etc
Central problem of security and guarantee that data refers to correct patient.
Use a physical swipe card attached to patient???
Visual tools to aid medical decision methods:
A New Generic Indexing Technology
Better than a B-tree
Collaborative evaluation of modes of interaction
Development of evaluation models and strengthening the designer-user and the user-user interaction (collaborative within and between domains).
Exploitation of spatial metaphors for interaction with non-spatial information.
The use of metadata and ontologies for effective retrieval.
Support for rapid construction of visualizations by non-experts.
Further support of underlying science and technology issues, including speech understanding, image understanding and similarity evaluation, and quality of service.
Spatial and temporal integration of data of various scales and resolutions.
Better than an R*-tree
