Interactive Visualization in Support of Decision Making Under Uncertainty
Abstract
In this project, the performer proposes a theoretical framework that unites a set of somewhat disparate areas of research cutting across the computer and cognitive sciences in order to better understand the development and application of visualization technologies, interactive visualization capabilities, and the scaffolding of complex cognitive processes. They will focus more broadly on the problem of uncertainty and how decision makers are challenged by reasoning with, and about, uncertainty as a function of how uncertainty is represented. Their proposed work will have both basic and practical application that further scientific knowledge as well as provide utility to the way Naval C2 personnel accomplish their missions. The performer will build an interactive visualization testbed with a focus on drug interdiction and ship routing visualization and planning that will be used to conduct experiments to answer questions such as: (1) How can they understand visualization manipulations and their impact on variations in complexity in C2 contexts? (2) How can they understand visualization manipulations and their impact on variations in uncertainty in C2 contexts? (3) Can they triangulate on the efficacy of visualizations through improved measures? In addition, the performer will also develop novel visualization strategies based on our empirical findings.
