A proposed UML-based common model for information visualization systems

Abstract

Nowadays, visualization of large amounts of data has become a key issue for processing data in many fields. This paper presents a conceptual model for describing information visualization systems. This conceptual model has been represented using the Unified Modeling Language, therefore it takes advantage of the understandability, unambiguity, flexibility, and adaptability provided by this notation. The proposed model outlines concepts such as visualization workspace, device, visual representation and its features, information visualization task and its effects on visualization, inter-item relationship, etc. The main applications of the proposed model are: (1) to guide the development of a new visualization system by specifying which are the main concepts that have to be considered and how they relate to each other; (2) to characterize or describe an already existing visualization system; and (3) to thoroughly compare existing visualization systems. To illustrate the use and applications of the model, several examples of information visualization systems are provided.

Design Demand Trend Acquisition Method Based on Short Text Mining of User Comments in Shopping Websites

“…Based on the network data access platform. Moral et al proposed an integrated modeling language to formulate the information visualization system's conceptual model and gave several examples of information visualization [45]. According to data visualization and technology of IoT, Ceccarini et al created and applied a test platform, which can enhance the sustainable development and security of the campus [56].…”

“…Data clustering is often an initial procedure in the process of data analysis [28]. Data clustering is widely used in many fields today [24,[27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45], but most research is concentrated in the biomedical field [29]. Kmeans has been developed for more than 60 years, and is mainly used in the clustering period of data mining technology.…”

Research on the Modelling and Development of Flexibility in Production System Design Phase Driven by Digital Twins

“…Therefore, the Unified Modelling Language (UML) is utilized to construct the system descriptive metamodel to describe system generic attribute information in the design phase by presenting the attribute information of different system components and the relationship between them. UML can standardize and visualize the whole process of entities, properties, relations, structures, states and dynamic changes of things [30,31]. Furthermore, UML provides mechanisms that enable new kinds of modelling elements to be defined and also enable relate the information to new modelling elements [32,33].…”

“…Therefore, 41 groups of experiments are carried out for each processing equipment, and each group is observed five times to obtain the simulation experiment of the production system production volume, and then the dynamic prediction results of two design schemes are obtained. Finally, the production capacity of each processing equipment at different failure rates is processed according to Equations ( 28)- (30), which obtains the comprehensive flexibility evaluation index of the production system design scheme in Table 5.…”
