Resumo(s)
Atualmente, existem cada vez mais dados que necessitam de ser processados e analisados.
No âmbito da visualização interativa de dados, o uso de dashboards tem aumentado, uma
vez que estes permitem análises mais eficientes de conjuntos da dados. Os dashboards têm
como objetivo responder a questões analíticas dos seus utilizadores, fazendo uso de téc-
nicas de visualização e de taxonomias de interação. Enquanto as técnicas de visualização
permitem que os dados sejam mostrados de forma visual, as interações fazem com que
os mesmos possam dar diferentes perspetivas a quem os analisa. Ainda assim, o processo
de conceção e implementação de dashboards é iterativo e complexo, sendo necessário que
os designers de dashboards consigam perceber quais as melhores formas de mostrar os
dados, de que forma estes devem estar organizados e quais as interações mais relevantes
para responder às questões analíticas dos utilizadores. O processo de implementação
acaba por não ser eficiente pelo facto de estar constantemente a sofrer alterações uma vez
que o diálogo entre designer e stakeholders acontece mais nesta fase por não existir uma
forma eficiente de prototipar dashboards. Tendo em conta a falta de ferramentas para o
desenho de protótipos de dashboards, surgiu a Interactive Visualization Modeling Language
(IVML). A IVML é uma proposta de linguagem, que pretende documentar e desenhar
todos os componentes de um dashboard. O objetivo desta dissertação é a criação de uma
ferramenta interativa e formal que tenha como base a IVML e permita a prototipagem
de dashboards. Esta ferramenta irá permitir que o utilizador consiga especificar todos os
componentes que estão num dashboard, tendo a capacidade para interagir com o mesmo
de forma mais simples. O desenvolvimento desta ferramenta contribuiu para a existência
de uma ferramenta própria que usa a IVML e que permitiu o processos de desenho de
dashboards fosse mais simples e direto.
Currently, there is more and more data that needs to be processed and analyzed. In the context of interactive data visualization, the use of dashboards has increased, since these allow more efficient analysis of data sets. The objetive of a dashboard is to an- swer the analytical questions of its users, making use of visualization techniques and interaction taxonomies. While visualization techniques allow data to be displayed vi- sually, interactions give different perspectives to those who analyze the data. Still, the process of designing and implementing dashboards is iterative and complex, requiring that dashboard designers recognize the best ways to show the data, how they it should be organized, what are the most relevant interactions and how can they give an answer to the users analytical questions. This process is even more time-consuming because the communications between designer and stakeholder happens more during the develop- ment of the dashboard process, due to the lack of solutions to design and prototype the dashboards. Because of the lack of tools to prototype dashboards the language IVML was developed. The Interactive Visualization Modeling Language (IVML) is a proposal language, which intends to document all the components of a dashboard. The goal of this dissertation is to create an interactive and formal tool that is based on IVML, and allow the users to create prototypes of dashboards. This tool will give the users the possibility to specify all the dashboards components and to interact with the prototype in an easy way. The development of this tool as contributed for the existance of a tool that is based on IVML and can apply it’s concepts, making the process of designing a dashboards simpler.
