Description:

The abundance of information available to today’s managers makes it essential to efficiently represent, filter, and present information for effective decision making. The rapid advances in hardware and software development have made it possible to present data visually from multiple perspectives. However, the challenge is the design of visualizations such that (1) they are useful in presenting non-numeric as well numeric information, and (2) they are integrated with other components of existing decision support systems. From that perspective, the topic of information visualization spans several disciplines, including decision support and human-computer interaction. Specifically, the graphical presentation of information applies to an array of topics such as data modeling, interface design, data mining, and data warehousing. This mini-track will focus on the design, development, and use of information visualization, as well as its ability to function as a tool to aid managerial decision-making.

Potential topics include:

• Techniques for the organization of information (e.g., clustering)
• Visual presentation of data mining results
• Design of visual interfaces that facilitate decision support
• Evaluation of visual interfaces especially from a decision effectiveness perspective
• Application of animation techniques to the presentation of information
