This work presents a survey of previously proposed mappings of power system data to visual representations and based on this analysis a set of alternative mappings are demonstrated.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129253163","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}

Several coordination techniques have been proposed in the literature, resulting in a diversity of tools to generate mappings among the multiple views. These mappings can be highly dynamic, and their history reveals the settings employed in the multiple exploratory tasks conducted in a discovery process. Several solutions have been proposed to help users to recover the steps performed in exploratory tasks, but little support is found for registering the multiple coordination mappings employed. This paper provides a contribution in this direction, proposing a model for storing and recovering such mappings. We believe such a facility is an important feature of CMV systems, so that users can recover and rerun the coordinations performed when exploring their data. We present details of the proposed model and show some potential applications.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"109 6 Suppl 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131078413","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}

By open - ended environments we refer to physical spaces that construct content and associated semantics through non-didactic methods supportive of non - linear navigation. This work presents an overview of an approach to interactions as mapping human actions and their characteristics, through which behavior features can be identified. The interpretation is based on the extension of previous work, the Kinetic Inter-Acting System, that interprets, visualises and offers means for analysis of the interaction process between parties enabling visual reasoning about the quality of interactions. The approach is examined in the context of new developments in museums that perceives them as becoming creative and reflective agents in digital humanities. Examples are taken from a large public immersive exhibition that relies upon interaction delivered through various modalities for content assimilation and participant experience.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115348021","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}

Based on these results, a lot of interactive tools are now available to help with color design based on various sorts of color themes, templates, palettes, swatches, brushes, etc. However, despite the numbers of tools and results available, in many situations, color design is still tedious and time consuming for both amateurs and professionals. In this paper, we introduce visual color design as a new approach to handling coloring problems interactively. The coloring of web documents is used to illustrate our approach with a real case study. The case study takes as input (1) a given color image and (2) an HTML/CSS document to be colored.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"777 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114094939","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}

It is argued that it is not enough for all users to deploy focused BIM software, however adroitly. Broader construction information management visualisation and collaboration tools are needed, including web tools, applications, apps, and portals, benefiting from the extension of contemporary ICT through âWeb 2.0' and beyond.

Many existing approaches explore the discussions from the point of view of individual participants, often omitting interesting information about the discussion itself. We present a visualization technique that centers around the discussion, its dynamics, intensity and topic changes. The flow of the text is divided into uniform time spans that aggregate the data and where the text analyzer runs. Then, the discussion is visualized using three different levels of details. The topmost shows the global view of the discussion development over time, the middle shows an inside view on discussions' main topics, and the bottom level displays individual word clouds. The technique is demonstrated on data from an Internet Relay Chat (IRC) but it can be used for visual analysis of any time-dependent text data such as email communication, search terms, keywords and similar.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"10 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130780060","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}

We all want to make urban areas pleasant and functional. Both lay public and professionals have to be included in the design process. They have different knowledge backgrounds and expertise, but they need to communicate and collaborate with each other, using a wide variety of digital tools available. However, it can be argued, that existing interfaces cannot meet the needs of this communication process: one of the main problems is that they are not integrated into a recognizable system of tools for public participation in urban design. At different stages of public participation in urban design special needs for specific digital tools can be identified (e.g. digital tools for decision making process, digital tool for informing lay public etc.). These stages and their related suitable digital tools will be defined in the following article as starting points for the development of the digital system of tools mentioned above. 3D city models represent a special digital tool for communication and collaboration between lay public and professionals through the whole process of participation. They are really important for visualization and simulation in cooperative design. The criteria for cooperative design using the 3D city models will be defined in this article: as essential elements of the digital system of urban design collaboration and communication tools.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129549647","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}

{"title":"More Than Meets the Eye: Cross-cultural Interpretations of Digitally Manipulated Photography","authors":"C. Nicholls","doi":"10.1109/IV.2012.93","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1109/IV.2012.93","url":null,"abstract":"Interpreting visual information conveyed by artistic traditions based on culturally different epistemological and conceptual frameworks offers significant challenges. There is a good deal of anecdotal evidence that deeply monocultural Australian students learning about certain 'Asian' artistic traditions for the first time are particularly susceptible to making serious interpretive errors when reading 'other-culture' visual imagery, despite the fact that such visual information may look - on the surface at least - very similar to imagery in artworks with which they are culturally familiar. This is a problem that goes well beyond the purely pedagogical, affecting all persons working towards an understanding of the visual information conveyed by cultural products outside of their own experience. Furthermore, this applies to digital art as much as to painting and other media. Therefore it is important that when working in such cross-cultural contexts the understanding that there is often a good deal more to understanding visual artwork than the purely visual - or that which meets the eye - be nurtured and developed. The following analysis of photographic artworks exhibited by South Korean-born, Newcastle-based digital artist Tae Yang ('Sunny') Hong in his recent exhibition WOMEN, TECHNOLOGY, UTOPIA, presents such an interpretive challenge. Sunny Hong uses a blurring technique based on the Chinese philosophical tradition of Taoism, arising directly from the Hun Yuan Qi system. To understand and engage with Hong's oeuvre it is thus essential that one develop a visual and cultural knowledge-based understanding of the belief system underlying Hong's approach. The aim of this paper is therefore to contribute to a greater understanding of the fundamental principle that cultural difference is deeply encrypted in visual information, and that such difference goes beyond the visual, insofar as it resides at the level of the episteme. It should be added that today, as a result of increasing globalisation, there is very little visual art that does not draw upon a range of cultural influences, or evince a level of cultural hybridity, and Hong's oeuvre is no exception. Rosenberg's poetic model of research, developed specifically in relation to visual art and design research, will be brought into play here in order to illuminate Sunny Hong's body of visual artwork.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"60 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125800138","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}

There is a growing demand for new design approaches that would help to slow down urban sprawls, move away from modernist urban planning models and improve the quality of urban centers overall [15]. One important aspect that contributes to the overall sustainability of contemporary cities is the quality of pedestrian space. To enhance urban environment at pedestrian scale new design strategies must be investigated. Contemporary urban centers must provide various options for public transport, contain fine-grained urban functions, mixed-use building types and good-quality public open spaces to facilitate their use by pedestrians. The aim of this paper is (a) to identify the initial set of design parameters of urban form at the pedestrian scale and (b) to demonstrate the exemplary implementation of these parameters within parametric software, e.g. Grasshopper for Rhinoceros [26] and Esri CityEngine [25] for analysis, optimization and evaluation of urban settings.","PeriodicalId":264951,"journal":{"name":"2012 16th International Conference on Information Visualisation","volume":"47 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-07-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116645260","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}
