论文摘要
图形历史机制已在许多领域中广泛使用，以支持人类在视觉分析中的有限的工作记忆，错误恢复，协作和呈现。然而，在为视觉分析系统设计图形历史系统时，仍有一些方面尚未探索，以帮助具有复杂工作流程的分析师。在本文中，我们报告了与域专家进行的设计研究，在该研究中，我们表征了域任务并设计了一个视觉图形工作流程管理环境。我们的环境使分析师能够与同事有效审查，编辑，导航和探索他们的复杂工作流程。为了评估环境，我们提出了案例研究和用户研究。在案例研究中，我们探讨了两个领域专家如何与环境进行协作审查，沟通和培训；在使用汽车数据的用户研究中，我们揭示了我们的环境如何帮助用户以及历史机制如何影响用户的视觉问题解决行为。
Graphical history mechanisms have been widely utilized in many domains to support humans' limited working memory, error recovery, collaboration, and presentation in visual analysis. Yet, there are aspects that remain under-explored in designing graphical history systems for visual analytics systems to help analysts who have complicated workflows. In this paper we report on our design study performed with domain experts, where we characterize domain tasks and designed a visual graphical workflow management environment. Our environment allows analysts to efficiently review, edit, navigate, and explore their complex workflows with their colleagues. In order to evaluate the environment, we present a case study and user study. In the case study, we explore how two domain experts perform collaborative review, communication, and training with our environment; while in the user study with the car data, we reveal that how our environment helps users and how the history mechanism affects users' visual problem-solving behaviors.
