Timesearcher: Visual Exploration of Time-Series Data
Entry ID: timesearcher


Summary
Abstract: Widespread interest in discovering features and trends in time- series has generated a need for tools that support interactive exploration. We have built a prototype environment for interactive querying and exploration of time-series data. Queries are built using timeboxes: a powerful graphical, direct-manipulation metaphor for the specification of queries over time-series datasets. These timeboxes support interactive formulation and modification of queries, thus speeding the process of exploring time-series data sets and guiding data mining. The prototype includes windows for timebox queries, individual time-series, and details-on-demand. Other features include drag-and-drop support for query-by-example and graphical envelopes for displaying the extent of the entire data set and result set from a given query.
