Abstract

Most of the existing computer security visualization programs are data centered. However, some studies have shown that task centered visualization is perhaps more effective. To test this hypothesis, we have developed a new framework of visualization and apply it to computer security visualization. This framework provides a new way for users to interact with data set and potentially will provide new insights into how visualization can be better constructed to serve users' specific tasks.
