Abstract

Time-critical domains, such as emergency management, demand fast decisions from expert users under stress. Our Decision-Centered Visualization (DCV) system supports decision making by integrating domain knowledge and knowledge about human situation awareness for time-critical visualization. Efficient information presentation is vital for the user's situation awareness and, in consequence, to his or her task performance. We address the problem of efficiently visualizing both existing and incoming information by connecting domain data types and presentation requirements of the domain's tasks.
