The Information Mural: Increasing Information Bandwidth in Visualizations
نویسندگان
چکیده
Information visualizations must allow users to browse information spaces and focus quickly on items of interest. Being able to see some representation of the entire information space provides an initial gestalt overview and gives context to support browsing and search tasks. However, the limited number of pixels on the screen constrain the information bandwidth and make it diicult to completely display large information spaces. The Information Mural is a two-dimensional, reduced representation of an entire information space that ts entirely within a display window or screen. The mural creates a miniature version of the information space using visual attributes such as grayscale shading, intensity, color, and pixel size, along with anti-aliased compression techniques. Information Murals can be used as stand-alone visualizations or in global navigational views. We have built several prototypes to demonstrate the use of Information Murals in visualization applications ; subject matter for these views includes computer software, scientiic data, text documents, and geographic information.

متن کاملA New Framework for Increasing the Sustainability of Infrastructure Measurement of Smart Grid
Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) is one of the most significant applications of the Smart Grid. It is used to measure, collect, and analyze data on power consumption. In the AMI network, the smart meters traffics are aggregated in the intermediate aggregators and forwarded to the Meter Data Management System (MDMS). The infrastructure used in this network should be reliable, real-time an...
متن کاملIncreasing performance in Data grid by a new replica replacement algorithm
Data Grid provides sharing services for very large data around the world. Data replication is one of the most effective approaches to reduce access latency and response time. In addition to the benefits, replication has costs such as storage and bandwidth consumption, especially when storage space is low and limited. Therefore, the data replacement should be done wisely. In this p...
