iis -0642771伊利诺伊州厄巴纳-香槟分校的韩家伟hanj@cs.uiuc.eduUniversity SGER: DataScope：在指尖的多分辨率下查看数据库内容本研究项目的目标是研究一个名为DataScope的多分辨率数据查看系统的设计和开发问题，该系统基于对数据库内容的可视化理解和探索，以灵活、用户友好、多维和多分辨率的方式与数据库系统进行交互。该方法包括对设计原则和实现注意事项的研究，包括维的结构、属性值的排序、数据值的布局、灵活选择布局、属性和约束、丰富的信息显示，以及自动生成和自定义可视化界面。该研究综合了数据库系统、数据仓库、数据可视化、人机交互和数据挖掘等技术。它强调有效地实现对数据库内容进行可视化探索的功能，并将这些功能扩展为实时使用。研究成果将在数据库系统、数据挖掘、人机交互等领域的研究论坛上发表，并与UIUC的研究生教育相结合。该项目预计将在商业、工业、政府机构、科研和教育等许多需要探索大量数据的领域得到广泛应用。项目进展和研究结果将通过项目网站（http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/~hanj/projs/datascope.htm）发布。

IIS-0642771Jiawei Han hanj@cs.uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign SGER: DataScope: Viewing Database Contents in Multi-Resolution at Your Finger TipsThe goal of this research project is to investigate issues in the design and development of a multi-resolution data viewing system, called DataScope, which interacts with database systems based on visual comprehension and exploration of database contents in a flexible, user-friendly, multidimensional, and multi-resolution way. The approach consists of investigation of the design principles and implementation considerations, including structures of dimensions, ordering of attribute values, layout of data values, flexible selection of layouts, attributes, and constraints, rich information display, and automated visualization interface generation and customization. The research integrates the technologies in database systems, data warehouse, data visualization, human-computer interaction, and data mining. It emphasizes on efficient implementation of the functions for visual exploration of database contents and scale-up of such functions for real-time usage. The research results are to be published in research forums on database systems, data mining, and human computer interaction, and be integrated into the graduate education at UIUC. This project is expected to have broad applications in many fields that need to explore huge amounts of data, including business, industry, government agencies, scientific research, and education. The progress of the project and the research results will be disseminated via the project Web site (http://www.cs.uiuc.edu/~hanj/projs/datascope.htm).
