Abstract: "The primary challenge of computing society in the current and coming decades is not computational power; it is dealing with the collected or generated data in the computers, especially in the incomprehensible form in which they are currently presented to users. In most management domains, problem-solving is overwhelming because of the large volume of complicated data, multiple complex relationships among data, and the negotiability of the constraints. Efforts have been made in introducing graphical representations. However, little research has resulted in the development of effective visual representations for large-volume, multi-dimensional, non-geometric-based data for human beings to gain insight into the data. It is extremely vital and urgent to improve the communication between users and computers, to transform the vast computing-related data into comprehensible representations that help humans to understand the data. Humans are visual creatures. Most of what we learn comes through our sight. An effective solution to the challenge is to shift some of the user's cognitive load to the human visual perceptual system by using computer-generated, domain-specific visualizations. |
