We present a nested model for the visualization design and validation with four layers:
characterize the task and data in the vocabulary of the problem domain, abstract into …

We propose an extension to the four-level nested model of design and validation of
visualization system that defines the term" guidelines" in terms of blocks at each level …

We propose the nested blocks and guidelines model for the design and validation of
visualization systems. The nested blocks and guidelines model extends the previously …

Visualization researchers and practitioners engaged in generating or evaluating designs are
faced with the difficult problem of transforming the questions asked and actions taken by …

We develop a new perspective on research conducted through visualization design study
that emphasizes design as a method of inquiry and the broad range of knowledge …

Visualizations often appear in multiples, either in a single display (eg, small multiples,
dashboard) or across time or space (eg, slideshow, set of dashboards). However, existing …

Design studies are an increasingly popular form of problem-driven visualization research,
yet there is little guidance available about how to do them effectively. In this paper we reflect …

Recently, an approach for determining the value of a visualization was proposed, one
moving beyond simple measurements of task accuracy and speed. The value equation …

There exists a gap between visualization design guidelines and their application in
visualization tools. While empirical studies can provide design guidance, we lack a formal …

An important aspect in visualization design is the connection between what a designer does
and the decisions the designer makes. Existing design process models, however, do not …
