Research Projects


VIENA - Visual Enterprise Network Analytics

The research project VIENA (Visual Enterprise Network Analytics) aims to develop and test a prototype software of visual network analysis that will be capable to support organizational consulting services. As its focus will be the visualization of change, its main purpose is the display and evaluation of change management processes.

VisMaster - Mastering the Information Age

VisMaster is a European Coordination Action Project focused on the research discipline of Visual Analytics: One of the most important challenges of the emerging Information Age is to effectively utilise the immense wealth of information and data acquired, computed and stored by modern information systems.

VisuExplore - Gaining New Medical Insights from Visual Exploration

The project's objective is the implementation of a flexible, interactive visualization environment for time-oriented, medical data and information. These methods and tools will facilitate data analysis and interpretation tasks for physicians and clinical personnel in order to support medical treatment and enhance quality of care.

DisCō - Visual DIScovery and COmmunication of complex time patterns in non regularly gathered multigranular and multivariate data

The aim of this project is to develop novel Visual Analytics methods to visually as well as computationally analyse multivariate, time-oriented data and information to discover new and unexpected trends, patterns, and relationships.

TimeViz - Interactive Information Visualization to Explore Temporal Data

TimeViz is a visualization framework for supporting the interactive visual exploration of time and time-oriented information over a broad range of domains and applications.

in2vis - Interactive Information Visualization: Exploring and Supporting Human Reasoning Processes

The aim of this project is to explore and to compare different methods (Information Visualization, Exploratory Data Analysis and Machine Learning) to ease the understanding (the human reasoning process), to find their strengths and limitations and to estimate how combinations of these methods can contribute to more in-depth reasoning processes.

CareVis - Interactive Visualization Methods to Support Protocol-Based Care

The aim of this project is the development of interactive visualization methods to support protocol-based care. We provide multiple simultaneous views to cover different aspects of a complex underlying data structure of treatment plans and patient data.

InfoVis:Wiki

The InfoVis:Wiki project is intended to provide a community platform and forum integrating recent developments and news on all areas and aspects of Information Visualization. Using editable-by-anyone Wiki technology turned out to be the only way of keeping the presented information up to date and knowledge exchange vivid.

Students Projects



Semantic Zoom of Time-oriented Quantitative Data

A reusable software component for the qualitatively enriched and space-efficient visualization of time-oriented data.

Stack Flow 3D

Goal: Development of an interactive visualization technique to interactively explore a library. Books should be represented as cards that are organized in stacks. The individual stacks should be interactively explorable in (quasi-)3D.

Water Quality Measurement

The water supply company of a city in north-west China has commissioned KSC to build a remotely controlled system for monitoring of the water quality. The water quality is measured by measuring probes supplied by the company s::can.

Visualizing Patient Cohorts by Animated Scatter Plots

The aim of this project is to show the development of medical parameters over time. These (30) parameters result from examinations of patients who are treated for diabetes. The examinations take place in irregular intervals from six weeks up to three months.

Interactive Information Visualization to Support Protocol-based Care

The aim of this project was to develop a interactive visualization toolkit to support protocol-based care. Based on the Software Prototype CareVis, this project is a approach to communicate the complex logic of Asbruplans to domain experts like physicians or nursing staff.

Interactive visualization of train schedules

The goal for this project is the design and the implementation of an interactive system that can visualize train schedules.

A Detailed Comparison of Information Visualization Tools Using a Reference Data Set

The aim of this project is a detailed comparison of several visualization tools, focusing on the temporal aspects of data.

Visualizing Temporal Data using prefuse

The aim of this project was to extend and generalize PlanViewer, a Software Prototype applying PlanningLines to MS-Project and Asbru plans.

FishEye JTree

The aim of this project is to develop user interface components to display tree structures and navigate in such hierarchies applying the information visualization method “Fisheye view”.

Planviewer - Treating Temporal Uncertainties of Complex Hierarchical Data Visually

This work is an attempt to apply PlanningLines in a modern and highly sophisticated visualization which treats MS-Project plans as well as medical treatment plans written in Asbru.

MetaDataEditor

MetaDataEditor is a graphical user interface for collecting metadata enhancing medical readings. The collected Data is stored in an XML based database, from which it can later be retrieved.
