Applying information visualization techniques to visual representations of task models

This paper shows how information visualization techniques can be used to improve the effectiveness of task model representations. In particular, we discuss how fisheye and semantic-zoom representations have been used to improve the effectiveness of the ConcurTaskTrees notation. The approach can also be useful for improving other visual modelling languages. We also report on a first evaluation of the proposed representations. Author Keywords Task model representations, information visualization, fisheye, semantic zoom, ConcurTaskTrees. ACM Classification Keywords H5.m. Information interfaces and presentation (e.g., HCI).
