Visual Analysis of Massive Data for Decision Support and Operational Management

Hawaii International Conference for Systems Sciences 45
Grand Wailea, Maui, Hawaii, Jan 4-7 2012
Submissions due June 15, 2011

This minitrack seeks to define commonalities between analytical methods that utilize interactive visualization to cope with challenges posed by data, platform, and application. These include:

    Processing massive data from data archives and real-time data streams.
    Need for predictive and real-time analytics and operations management,
    Mobile device limitations: battery, processing capacity, screens and interactivity.
    Need to coordinate across multiple roles and tasks within and across organizations.
    Interoperability of mobile, desktop, tabletop, wall, and virtual environments

    We invite mathematical, computational, cognitive, and organizational perspectives on the use of advanced data processing and interactive visualization approaches to understanding and controlling complex systems across a range of human endeavors.
    We also invite participation from researchers who are looking at scaling issues and multi-scale issues, whether these scales refer to the time of decision making, the form-factor and operational constraints of mobile devices, the number of decision makers or the more traditional notion of multi-scale simulation and real-world scales of data.
    We are particularly interested in papers that report on an effective synthesis of algorithms and visualization with an impact on decision-making and/or coordination of operations, as evidenced by either realist simulations or adoption in a concrete mission.

This minitrack seeks to bring together researchers and problem owners working in these areas to present research methods and findings and to discuss their approaches and ideas to advance the state-of-the-art for this class of complex "wicked" problems.
