| Projects
| |
|
| |
| * Support the ongoing projects including collaborators. Active projects are wrist, brain, adviser, and protein.
| |
|
| |
| * Assist Radu to integrate a test and any recent code.
| |
|
| |
| * Contribute to the design and development of the new cave. This includes integrating g3d, vrpn and hosting vrg3d. Once the software is running simplify the configuration and provide a quick start path for student projects.
| |
|
| |
| * Set up a distribution of diffusion imaging data.
| |
|
| |
| Infrastructure
| |
|
| |
| * Continue to write Wiki entries as needed.
| |
|
| |
| * Continue setting up external software for students to use. Current imported packages are: blitz, cg, g3d, qt, camino, dtk, vrpn, glut, and sdl.
| |
|
| |
| * Finish extending make files for local installs and kits for source and binary distributions.
| |
|
| |
| * Continue to make improvements to the make files so they are easier to use.
| |
|
| |
| * Upgrade migrated Linux code to work with gcc 4.3.
| |
|
| |
| * Continue to integrate any new tests written by students into nightly test runs.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| * Finish integrating the new version of the Nag libraries.
| |
|
| |
|
| |
| Knowledge
| |
|
| |
| * Learn more about the cave; particularly vrg3d software development.
| |
|
| |
| * Meet (SciVis talk) with students to address any integration issues.
| |
|
| |
| * Learn how to manage a project using Source Forge.

Current Plans and Goals (Fall '10)
Get oriented
- Find out current status of framework
- Acquaint myself with any existing modules / code / results
- Find out who else will be working on it or has worked on it, meet with them
- Literature review
- Learn CPM-GOMS, refresh on ACT-R
Do whatever needs to be done to get framework going
Create a test module based on my earlier implied dynamics work [1]
- Model a dynamics-based assessment of relationships between parts of simple visualizations
- Test whether this can predict users' actual evaluations of a chart's structural properties
- Maybe rethink to tie in more to affordances, interface prediction
Identify other potential modeling projects based on visual structure for future work...
- Predicting the patterns (trends, clusters, etc.) a user sees in a visualization
- Modeling how quickly a user can read high-level information from different vis types
- Analyze interaction affordances in a visualization system
Get funded
- Work on grant proposal
- Find and apply for fellowships / postdoc grants
