ABSTRACT
Tailoring visualization and interaction design to the demands of an application is challenging if domain information is unavailable or confidential. This article discusses a process-centric design approach, allowing for inferring design goals indirectly from informal interviews with practitioners and stakeholders. The design benefits from their expertise, while secrets remain secret.
ABSTRACT
An interactive decision-support system (DSS) can help experts prepare water resource management plans for decision makers and stakeholders. The design of the proposed prototype incorporates visualization techniques such as circle views, grid layout, small multiple maps, and node simplification to improve the data readability of water distribution systems. A case study with three urban water management and sanitary engineering experts revealed that the proposed DSS is satisfactory, efficient, and effective.
