Visual Analytics is a multi-disciplinary field that uses interactive visualisations to promote and assist the analytic reasoning and generate insights. Understanding the perceptual and cognitive factors is key to the progress in this field. This research focuses on understanding the benefits of interaction in terms of insight generation. Moreover, this investigation explores the compounding effects individual differences have with interaction when analysing data to generate insights. This study… Show more

Visual Analytics is a multi-disciplinary field that uses interactive visualisations to promote and assist the analytic reasoning and generate insights. Understanding the perceptual and cognitive factors is key to the progress in this field. This research focuses on understanding the benefits of interaction in terms of insight generation. Moreover, this investigation explores the compounding effects individual differences have with interaction when analysing data to generate insights. This study investigated the individual differences in two sets; psychometric set measures, and a sensorial preferences multimodal learning style. Show less

The changing global climate and growing population is challenging water supply systems across the world. The UK is no different; in recent years there have been periods of drought across a number of regions and at times periods of floods. Coupling this dynamic scenario with other issues facing the water supply industry, such as ageing infrastructure, which is leading to leaks and other supply failures places huge demands on the water supply companies to manage this essential resource.

The changing global climate and growing population is challenging water supply systems across the world. The UK is no different; in recent years there have been periods of drought across a number of regions and at times periods of floods. Coupling this dynamic scenario with other issues facing the water supply industry, such as ageing infrastructure, which is leading to leaks and other supply failures places huge demands on the water supply companies to manage this essential resource. This project describes the data mining and modeling of domestic water demand based on previous consumption profile and weather forecasts. One of the objectives of the research has been to see if it is possible to use visual analytics as a means of predicting future demand against short-medium term meteorological forecasts. This project has addressed new ways of presenting information to water engineers to help them manage their network. Show less

British Swimming operate five Intensive Training Centres (ITCs) around the UK to provide a world-class daily training environment for its athletes and coaches to succeed in international competitions. The AVRRC was funded by British Swimming to establish a web-platform to manage the Big Data from the ITC framework of British Swimming including functionality to capture data and text based information and produce management reports.
