Cooperative concept map based on cognitive model for visual analysis

The ability to recognize users and their intention during the visual analysis process is important to interact intelligently and effortlessly in a cooperative environment. In this paper, we present the framework for creating and modifying a concept map that allows analysts to collaborate and utilize live collection of enterprise data in a visual interface. Based on modeling users and tasks in visual analysis, a user model supporting collaborative analysis is given. Furthermore, we propose the algorithm of concept map layout to facilitate the visual analysis. The interface presents the analyst with the dashboard configuration of certain data that users deems relevant, provides tools to facilitate the decision making process. Finally, we apply it to a collaborative visual decision support system. Experimental results show that it enhances the accessibility and the individualization of collaborative concept map for configuring enterprise data and helps to enhance user experience during the visual analysis process.
