Design and Evaluation in Visualization Research
نویسندگان
چکیده
Until very recently, the emphasis in Visualization research has been on methods, their algorithmic underpinnings, and their implementation in systems. Most papers have been of the proof of concept variety: describing new ideas for attacking a visualization problem and demonstrating feasibility and quality by presenting visual and performance results from a prototype implementation. Typical published evaluations might consist of 1) a compelling visual presentation on one or two data sets, 2) a comparison of computational efficiency with known algorithms, and 3) anecdotal visual comparison with other techniques. Such tests have driven creativity and advances within our community, but they do not often lead us to design principles to guide future work nor are they compelling to potential collaborators.

متن کاملToward a Heuristic Model for Evaluating the Complexity of Computer Security Visualization Interface
Computer security visualization has gained much attention in the research community in the past few years. However, the advancement in security visualization research has been hampered by the lack of standardization in visualization design, centralized datasets, and evaluation methods. We propose a new heuristic model for evaluating the complexity of computer security visualizations. This compl...
متن کاملto Help Developers Stay Oriented in Their Code
This paper presents the creation, deployment, and evaluation of a large-scale, spatially-stable, paperbased visualization of a software system. The visualization was created for a single team, who were involved systematically in its initial design and subsequent design iterations. The evaluation indicates that the visualization supported the “onboarding” scenario but otherwise failed to realize...
متن کاملA Design, Analysis and Evaluation Model to Support the Visualization Designer-User
Existing visualization design and evaluation frameworks rest on a distinction between the designer and the user. However, there is little explicit guidance on design, analysis and evaluation when the designer is the user. A simple solution to this problem is for the researcher (who combines the designer and user roles) to be clear about which activity they are conducting at which point in time....
