Graph-Level Operations (GLOs) are a holistic vocabulary of encapsulated manipulations of graph visualization elements. GLOs allow analysts to explore their network data in new and interesting ways, freeing them from being restricted to predefined graph visualization techniques. GLOs also provide software engineers with an alternative, extensible means of writing extensible graph visualization applications. Finally, GLOs provide an elegant method for generating animated transitions between graph visualization techniques. GLO-STIX is a user-centered application for exploring a network using GLOs.
At the Information Interfaces Lab, computing technologies are developed that help people take advantage of information to enrich their lives. The lab group develops ways to help people understand information via user interface design, information visualization, peripheral awareness techniques and embodied agents. The goal is to help people make better judgments by learning from all the information available to them.
