Density Displays for Data Stream Monitoring
In many business applications, large data workloads such as sales figures or process performance measures need to be monitored in real-time. The data analysts want to catch problems in flight to reveal the root cause of anomalies. Immediate actions need to be taken before the problems become too expensive or consume too many resources. In the meantime, analysts need to have the "big picture" of what the information is about. In this paper, we derive and analyze two real-time visualization techniques for managing density displays: (1) circular overlay displays which visualize large volumes of data without data shift movements after the display is full, thus freeing the analyst from adjusting the mental picture of the data after each data shift; and (2) variable resolution density displays which allow users to get the entire view without cluttering. We evaluate these techniques with respect to a number of evaluation measures, such as constancy of the display and usage of displ...
