This is a very-quickly-assembled page about some of my research projects in information visualization. It will get better with age.
The goal of the CurricVis project is to use interactive information visualization to clarify the structure and dynamics of academic curricula.
Launch the technology demo! (Updated 2/4/09 to support splines)
This demonstration runs via Java WebStart, so you will need a recent version of Java to see it. The demonstration showcases the integration of the following:
This interactive visualization is based on some work I did with static visualizations based on using knowledge representation and reasoning techniques on curricular data. This is demonstrated in poster on BSU CS majors. The diagrams in the poster were automatically generated from a curriculum knowledge base.
I presented a paper entitled Work in Progress: Curriculum Visualization at the FIE2008 conference. Here are the slides that accompanied the presentation in ODP, PPT, and PDF formats.
This software tool uses interactive visualization to highlight modules of a software system with potential security and reliability vulnerabilities. The vulnerability analysis is based on Zage metrics; my contribution was in the visualization design and software architecture. See my SERC technical report for details.
Go to the JIVE website. I was involved in the original design and development of JIVE during my doctoral studies, and the project is still maintained at the University at Buffalo.
