A prototype of interactive data visualization is proposed for Building Management Systems (BMS). The aim is to enhance traditional data presentation format such as graphs and tables to support expert users in early open-ended exploration of building data. Based on data recorded over 3 years in areal office building in Switzerland, a case study is conducted involving 12 practicing expert users with engineering background. Both exploratory and qualitative in nature, this evaluation allows to : (1) show the ability of expert users to use advanced visualization tools to derive meaningful conclusions in limited time, (2) demonstrate the relevance of visual analytics results for the building physics field.

Today's common business phenomena, such as globalization, outsourcing of operations, mergers and acquisition, and business renovation require rapid changes of business operations. In order to support such changes, it is critical to gain the total visibility of the entire business operation environment and to understand the impact of the potential changes so that people can react properly in time. Business OPerations Management environment (BOPM) is a system that is on the top of existing business application systems and other IT systems and is responsible for users to understand, manage and change business operations. The development of an effective BOPM system is necessarily complex since it needs to deal with multiple dimensions of artifacts - people, information, processes, and systems - across the extent of a company's business operations, both within and outside the company boundaries, to provide the visibility and control, to discover where to make changes, to evaluate new business processes or changes, and to govern all business operations, particularly new or changed ones. This paper presents a conceptual architecture for BOPM framework and discusses some key technical features.

With urban development in cities, shared bicycle systems are increasingly used as a way to avoid traffic caused by cars, promoting sustainable mobility and contributing for traffic and pollution reduction in urban areas. The imbalance in the availability of bicycles and docks at the stations of the systems makes it impossible to rent and return bicycles, making it necessary to redistribute them across the network. However, this process has flaws, mainly during rush hours. In this paper, we analyse data provided by the Lisbon City Council regarding their bike sharing system, which has the rebalancing operations' influence. Since the original data was contaminated with the rebalancing operations, an analysis was conducted in an attempt to remove this influence from the data. Following this analysis, a new dataset was created using only the trip data to enable model development for each station and predict the bicycle demand. The plateaus in the created dataset were then analysed to determine if they're due to lack of demand from costumers, or due to stations being full or empty.

Analysis of data to detect transaction anomalies is an important fraud detection procedure. interactive data visualization tools that allow the investigator to change the representation of data from text to graphics and filter out subsets of transactions for further investigation have substantial potential for making the detection of fraudulent transactions more efficient and effective. However, little research to date has directly examined the efficacy of datavisualization techniques for fraud detection. In this paper, we develop a theoretical framework to predict when and how investigators might use datavisualization techniques to detect fraudulent transactions. We use this framework to develop testable propositions and research questions related to this topic. The paper concludes by discussing how academic research might proceed in investigating the efficacy of interactive data visualization tools for fraud detection. (C) 2015 Elsevier Inc.

Intervention planning is crucial for maintenance operations in particle accelerator environments with ionizing radiation, during which the radiation dose received by maintenance workers should be reduced to a minimum. In this context, we discuss the development of a new software tool and the entailed methodology, including the visualization aspects. The software tool integrates interactive exploration of a scene depicting an accelerator facility augmented with residual radiation level simulations, with the visualization of intervention data such as the followed trajectory and maintenance tasks. Its conception allows for future inclusion of measurements performed by mobile robotic devices. In this work, we explore the systems engineering life cycle of the development process of an interactive intervention planner, which includes the needs analysis, specification explicitation, conceptual mathematical modelling, iterative implementation, design and prototype testing and usability testing.

D3 is a free, open-source JavaScript library for visualizing data [1]. The low-level approach of coding with D3 allows flexibility in creating dynamic, data-driven graphics; thus, D3 is behind the creation of groundbreaking and award-winning visualizations. Though the first version of D3 was released in 2011, it is still relevant for visualizing data in 2024 [4]. D3 is excellent for building datavisualizations that are either standard and familiar (bar charts, line charts, force-based layouts, etc.) or non-standard and innovative [3]. In this tutorial we will start with a quick introduction to the field of datavisualization [2], then we will provide an overview of D3, its benefits, structure, development environment, and methods of adding it to a JavaScript file. Then there will be opportunities for attendees to get hands-on experience with D3: setting up a simple server to host data files, adding code to D3 files, loading and building a visualization from an accessed data file, and adding interaction. Next, we will explore the myriad of ways that D3 can be (and has been) applied to advanced interactive data visualization problems. Finally, we will share resources that attendees can refer to as they get up-to-speed with D3.

data clustering algorithms have proved to be important and widely used methods of artificial intelligence and data mining for discovering unknown yet important patterns in datasets. Nevertheless, one of the additional aspects of data clustering is proper interpretation of the clustering results. In this paper we aim to investigate possibilities of using both data clustering and visualization methods to analyze a sample diabetes dataset. In the first part, we focus on how to cluster a highly-dimensional sample dataset and then, we concentrate on how to properly visually present the clustering results in the most meaningful way to uncover potentially interesting behavioral patterns or features of diabetes patients. In this work we examine two clustering algorithms (DBSCAN, k-Means) along with several different distance measures. We also present sample visualizations of clustering results generated by an application which we have developed and discuss if the proposed way of clustering results visualization can be helpful in understanding the analyzed dataset and lead a viewer to drawing valuable conclusions about it.

The application potential of Visual Analytics (VA), with its supporting interactive 2D and 3D visualization techniques, in the environmental domain is unparalleled. Such advanced systems may enable an in-depth interactive exploration of multifaceted geospatial and temporal changes in very large and complex datasets. This is facilitated by a unique synergy of modules for simulation, analysis, and visualization, offering instantaneous visual feedback of transformative changes in the underlying data. However, even if the resulting knowledge holds great potential for supporting decision-making in the environmental domain, the consideration of such techniques still have to find their way to daily practice. To advance these developments, we demonstrate four case studies that portray different opportunities in datavisualization and VA in the context of climate research and natural disaster management. Firstly, we focus on 2D datavisualization and explorative analysis for climate change detection and urban microclimate development through a comprehensive time series analysis. Secondly, we focus on the combination of 2D and 3D representations and investigations for flood and storm water management through comprehensive flood and heavy rain simulations. These examples are by no means exhaustive, but serve to demonstrate how a VA framework may apply to practical research.
