Categorical data dimensions appear in many real-world data sets, but few visualization methods exist that properly deal with them. Parallel Sets are a new method for the visualization and interactive exploration of categorical data that shows data frequencies instead of the individual data points. The method is based on the axis layout of parallel coordinates, with boxes representing the categories and parallelograms between the axes showing the relations between categories. In addition to the visual representation, we designed a rich set of interactions. Parallel Sets allow the user to interactively remap the data to new categorizations and, thus, to consider more data dimensions during exploration and analysis than usually possible. At the same time, a metalevel, semantic representation of the data is built. Common procedures, like building the cross product of two or more dimensions, can be performed automatically, thus complementing the interactive visualization. We demonstrate Parallel Sets by analyzing a large CRM data set, as well as investigating housing data from two US states.

Understanding the temporal evolution of features of interest requires the ability to: (i) extract features from each snapshot;(ii) correlate them over time;and (iii) understand the resulting tracking graph. This paper provides new solutions for the last two challenges in the context of large-scale turbulent combustion simulations. In particular, we present a simple and general algorithm to correlate hierarchical features, embedded in time-dependent surfaces. This, for the first time, provides a parameter independent approach to track embedded features. Furthermore, we provide a new technique to adaptively change feature parameters over time to both: alleviate artifacts due to insufficient temporal resolution as well as to simplify the resulting tracking graphs to promote new scientific insights. Our solutions are integrated into a general and flexible analysis environment that allows users to interactively explore the spatio-temporal behavior of large-scale simulations. We demonstrate the results using the analysis of extinction holes in turbulent combustion as primary case study and a number of other applications to illustrate the generality of the approach.

This paper presents an interactive visualization toolkit for navigating and analyzing the National Science Foundation (NSF) funding information. Our design builds upon the treemap layout and the stacked graph to contribute customized techniques for visually navigating and interacting with the hierarchical data of NSF programs and proposals, supporting visual search and analysis, and allowing the user to make informed decision. In this visualization toolkit, we propose two visualization techniques to simplify the navigation of the hierarchical data: 2.5 Dimensional treemaps to make the hierarchical structure more easily to be recognized, and labeled treemap to help the user to get a clear overview of the content of the structure and make the internal area of rectangles correspond to the weights of the data set. Furthermore, an incremental layout method is adopted to handle information on a large scale. The improved treemap visualization will help to visually analyze the static funding data and the stacked graph is utilized to analyze the time-series data. Through these visual analysis techniques, research trends of NSF, popular NSF programs are quickly identified. The primary contribution is a demonstration of novel ways to effectively present and analyze NSF funding data.

Common security tools generate a lot of data suitable for further analysis. However, the raw form of the data is often too complex and useful information gets lost in a large volume of records. In this paper, we propose a system for visualization of the data generated by a DNS firewall and outline a process of visually emphasizing information important to incident handlers. Our prototype suggests that such visualization is possible, keeping the balance between the amount of displayed information and the level of detail.

Beamtrees are a new method for the visualization of large hierarchical data sets. Nodes are shown as stacked circular beams, such that both the hierarchical structure as well as the size of nodes are depicted. The dimensions of beams are calculated using a variation of the treemap algorithm. A small user study indicated that beamtrees are significantly more effective than nested treemaps and cushion treemaps for the extraction of global hierarchical information.

In this paper we present a new approach to the interactive visual analysis of time-dependent scientific data both from measurements as well as from computational simulation-by visualizing a scalar function. over time for each of tenthousands or even millions of sample points. In order to cope with overdrawing and cluttering, we introduce a new four-level method of focus+context visualization. Based on a setting of coordinated, multiple views (with linking and brushing), we integrate three different kinds of focus and also the context in every single view. Per data item we use three values (front the unit interval each) to represent to which degree the data item is part of the respective focus level. We present a color compositing scheme which is capable of expressing all three values in a meaningful way, taking semantics and their relations amongst each other (in the context of our multiple linked view setup) into account. Furthermore, we present additional image-based postprocessing methods to enhance the visualization of large sets of function graphs, including a texture-based technique based on line integral convolution (LIC). We also propose advanced brushing techniques which are specific to the time-dependent nature of the data (in order to brush patterns over time more efficiently). We demonstrate the usefulness of the new approach in the context of medical perfusion data.

Interactive exploration of flow features in large-scale 3D unsteady-flow data is one of the most challenging visualization problems today. To comprehensively explore the complex feature spaces in these datasets, a proposed system employs a scalable framework for investigating a multitude of characteristics from traced field lines. This capability supports the examination of various neighborhood-based geometric attributes in concert with other scalar quantities. Such an analysis wasn't previously possible because of the large computational overhead and I/O requirements. The system integrates visual analytics methods by letting users procedurally and interactively describe and extract high-level flow features. An exploration of various phenomena in a large global ocean-modeling simulation demonstrates the approach's generality and expressiveness as well as its efficacy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The discrete nature of categorical data makes it a particular challenge for visualization. Methods that work very well for continuous data are often hardly usable with categorical dimensions. Only few methods deal properly with such data, mostly because of the discrete nature of categorical data, which does not translate well into the continuous domains of space and color. Parallel Sets is a new visualization method that adopts the layout of parallel coordinates, but substitutes the individual data points by a frequency-based representation. This abstracted view, combined with a set of carefully designed interactions, supports visual dataanalysis of large and complex data sets. The technique allows efficient work with meta data, which is particularly important when dealing with categorical datasets. By creating new dimensions from existing ones, for example, the user can filter the data according to his or her current needs. We also present the results from an interactive analysis of CRM data using Parallel Sets. We demonstrate how the flexible layout eases the process of knowledge crystallization, especially when combined with a sophisticated interaction scheme.
