Information visualisation
Information visualisation uses interactive three-dimensional (3D) graphics to create an immersive environment for the exploration of large amounts of data. Unlike scientific visualisation, where the underlying physical process usually takes place in 3D space, information visualisation deals with …

Assisting digital forensic analysis via exploratory information visualisation
… This research proposes that given the ability of information visualisation to provide an end user with an intuitive way to rapidly analyse large volumes of complex data, such approached could be applied to digital forensics datasets. Such methods will be investigated; supported by a review of …

Random sampling as a clutter reduction technique to facilitate interactive visualisation of large datasets
… do not always know what they are looking for. Information visualisation can facilitate this task through an interactive visual representation, thus making the data easier to interpret. However, we can soon reach a limit on the amount of data that can be plotted before the visual display becomes …

Probabilistic methods for drug discovery
… representation techniques developed in the information visualisation domain to help a user to explore and understand effectively large multi-dimensional datasets. The advantage of such a framework to other techniques currently available to the domain experts is that the user is directly …

A Framework for Information Architecture for Business Networks
The concept of Information Architecture (IA) has been independently explored by researchers and practitioners in Information Engineering, Information Systems (ISmanagement, information visualisation and Web site design. However, little has been achieved towards its standardisation within and across …

Measuring comprehension of abstract data visualisations
Common visualisation techniques such as bar-charts and scatter-plots are not sufficient for visual analysis of large sets of complex multidimensional data. Technological advancements have led to a proliferation of novel visualisation tools and techniques that attempt to meet this need. A crucial …

Election Data Visualisation
Visualisations of election data produced by the mass media, other organisations and even individuals are becoming increasingly available across a wide variety of platforms and in many different forms. As more data become available digitally and as improvements to computer hardware and software are …
