Developing Qualitative Metrics for Visual Analytic Environments

Abstract

In this paper, we examine reviews for the entries to the 2009 Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) Challenge. By analyzing these reviews we gained a better understanding of what is important to our reviewers, both visualization researchers and professional analysts. This is a bottom up approach to the development of heuristics to use in the evaluation of visual analytic environments. The meta-analysis and the results are presented in this paper.
