Current Plans and Goals (Summar/Fall '10)
Caroline
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
David
- get diffusion normals, one library, and one executable distributed
- good TBI talk in Chicago
- support 5 phd students' + trevor's progress
- si^2 proposal for 6/14, then expedition?
- wrist proposal possibilities, w/eni (check with Trey?)
- keep Vis '11 on track
Çağatay
- Resolve crossings, count cycles.
