Abstract

We present a navigatable multi-dimensional visualization of data named coaxial interactive visualization which is based on the coaxial axes. In this visualization, the dimensions of data in n-dimensional space are mapped to n concentric circular axes drawn in a planar space with polar coordinates. A data item in n-dimensional space is represented as a poly-curve with n vertices across all circular axes. Via the spatial distortion in polar system, the view of multi-dimensional data is interactively adjusted to satisfy viewer's interest. The viewer, thus, can effectively navigate the underlying visual pattern to reach the great detail for uncovering trends and patterns in the visualization. One novelties of this work is performing focus+context viewing in polar coordinate system.

Visualizing inference process of a rule engine

VINCI '11: Proceedings of the 2011 Visual Information Communication - International Symposium

In this paper, we introduce an approach to visualize the inference process in a rule engine -- Drools, which employs Rete as its pattern matching algorithm. As a software visualization work, our approach is focused on both static structure of the Rete ...
