不断增长的数据量为促进技术进步和商业成功提供了巨大的机遇。视觉分析(VA)旨在通过相互交织的交互可视化、数据分析、人机交互以及认知科学和感知科学来探索和理解大型和复杂的数据集。我们提出了一个设计三角形，它考虑了三个主要方面：(1)数据的特性，(2)用户，(3)用户的任务。处理时间和面向时间的数据的特殊特征侧重于VA方法，但将设计空间转变为更复杂和更具挑战性的空间。我们通过三个用例明确地处理面向时间的方面来演示设计三角形的适用性。我们的设计三角提供了一个高层次的框架，对于设计过程来说是简单和非常有效的，并且很容易适用于研究人员和实践者。(C)2013爱思唯尔有限公司。保留所有权利。
Increasing amounts of data offer great opportunities to promote technological progress and business success. Visual analytics (VA) aims at enabling the exploration and the understanding of large and complex data sets by intertwining interactive visualization, data analysis, human-computer interaction, as well as cognitive and perceptual science. We propose a design triangle, which considers three main aspects to ease the design: (1) the characteristics of the data, (2) the users, and (3) the users' tasks. Addressing the particular characteristics of time and time-oriented data focuses the VA methods, but turns the design space into a more complex and challenging one. We demonstrate the applicability of the design triangle by three use cases tackling the time-oriented aspects explicitly. Our design triangle provides a high-level framework, which is simple and very effective for the design process as well as easily applicable for both, researchers and practitioners.
