In particular, the transfer of certain data types requires high sampling rates, such as haptic and velocity data. This paper presents a two-step approach which reduces the total amount of data sent across a network, while attempting to reconstruct the original data series. The first step utilises a deadband approach to eliminate the transfer of redundant data. In this sense, redundant refers to the fact that the data will be undetectable or of no consequence at the receiving end. The second step is a prediction implementation to best reconstruct the reduced series to its original form. This combined deadband and prediction approach is applied to velocity data extracted from a telepresence scenario, resulting in an 86% reduction in the amount of data transferred, and good data reconstruction properties","PeriodicalId":222118,"journal":{"name":"Tenth International Conference on Information Visualisation (IV'06)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126112054","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The proposed deadline to achieve this is 2010. Today, research areas in visualization are isolated. What is missing is the big picture and mutual agendas. To establish visualization science as a discipline, researchers need to agree on the origins and areas of visualization research; then on the long-term (e.g., 2020) research goals. The benefit of an established discipline is more impact, both in teaching (curricula) and research (e.g., framework programmes of the European Union). This article aims to start the discussion on a synthesis through extended definitions and a big picture. It provides an example for a sharp and extended definition of a field that today is vaguely defined: information architecture. Finally, it proposes a draft of the big picture of the fields, the visualization science fingerprint, thus a step towards an established visualization science","PeriodicalId":222118,"journal":{"name":"Tenth International Conference on Information Visualisation (IV'06)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2006-07-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129403421","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Conversations about technologies like PGD typically center on issues of genetic determinism and autonomy. \"Distorted conversations\" exposes these issues by pushing the metaphor of ethical determinism as expressed through anonymous \"conversations\" distorted through online isolation and offline visualization technology. Participants are invited to contribute their hopes and concerns about this technology on a blog site. Portions of these conversations are converted into minuscule text and adhered to petri dishes that would typically be used during PGD procedures. Observers are then invited to join in this distorted conversation through the aid of a microscope.

It is important to note that the number of records in the data being analyzed is only one (and perhaps a small) factor in determining the complexity of a given data mining technique. Most complexity in data mining arises from the distribution of values contained in the data - not the number of records. In this paper, we utilize straightforward histogram-based visualizations to gain insight into how the performance of a well-studied data mining technique, the naive-Bayes classifier, performs under various discretization schemes for both continuous and discrete values. The resulting visualization system provides users with a tool that describes the underlying model of the data used by the classifier.

Single visual representations of design models only provide a limited perspective, hiding important information from the designer.

The case study showed an industrial need for improved visualisation techniques, as the currently used method -Gantt charts of design tasks - did not provide enough information in order to properly steer the design process and predict process behaviour.
