Abstract

While the amount of business information increases at a phenomenal rate, decision makers could easily feel overloaded. Simultaneously, they could also feel the lack of related information for decisions at hand. Various visualization techniques have been developed to help people gain more value from large-scale information collections, but applying visualization in the context of decision-making is not well understood. Through a review of related literature in information visualization and decision support, we identify different roles that visualization technologies could play in decision support. We also elaborate how evaluation studies could help decision makers take better advantage of existing visualization technologies.
