IIS-0642771韩家伟 hanj@cs.uiuc.eduUniversity of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign SGER：DataScope：本研究项目的目标是研究多分辨率数据查看系统DataScope的设计和开发中的问题，DataScope基于对数据库内容的视觉理解和探索，以灵活、用户友好、多维、多分辨率的方式。该方法包括调查的设计原则和实施考虑，包括结构的维度，属性值的排序，布局的数据值，灵活选择布局，属性和约束，丰富的信息显示，和自动可视化界面的生成和定制。 该研究综合了数据库系统、数据仓库、数据可视化、人机交互、数据挖掘等技术。 它强调有效地实现数据库内容的可视化探索功能，并将这些功能扩展到实时使用。 研究成果将发表在数据库系统，数据挖掘和人机交互的研究论坛上，并将纳入UIUC的研究生教育。 预计该项目将在商业、工业、政府机构、科学研究和教育等需要探索大量数据的许多领域中具有广泛的应用。该项目的进展情况和研究结果将通过该项目的网址（http：//www.cs.uiuc.edu/projs/projcope.htm）传播。

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).
