Abstract

Visual analytics (VA) integrates the outstanding capabilities of humans in terms of visual information exploration with the enormous processing power of computers to form a powerful knowledge discovery environment. In other words, VA is the science of analytical reasoning facilitated by interactive interfaces, capturing the information discovery process while keeping humans in the loop. Process mining (PM) is a data-driven and process centric approach that aims to extract information and knowledge from event logs to discover, monitor, and improve processes in various application domains. The combination of interactive visual data analysis and exploration with PM algorithms can make complex information structures more comprehensible and facilitate new insights. Yet, this combination remains largely unexplored. In this article, we illustrate the concepts of VA and PM, how their combination can support the extraction of more insights from complex event data, and elaborate on the challenges and opportunities for analyzing process data with VA methods and enhancing VA methods using PM techniques.

期刊介绍： IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications (CG&A) bridges the theory and practice of computer graphics, visualization, virtual and augmented reality, and HCI. From specific algorithms to full system implementations, CG&A offers a unique combination of peer-reviewed feature articles and informal departments. Theme issues guest edited by leading researchers in their fields track the latest developments and trends in computer-generated graphical content, while tutorials and surveys provide a broad overview of interesting and timely topics. Regular departments further explore the core areas of graphics as well as extend into topics such as usability, education, history, and opinion. Each issue, the story of our cover focuses on creative applications of the technology by an artist or designer. Published six times a year, CG&A is indispensable reading for people working at the leading edge of computer-generated graphics technology and its applications in everything from business to the arts.
