The perspective tunnel: An inside view on smoothly integrating detail and context. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., & Kennedy, J. (1997, April). The perspective tunnel: An inside view on smoothly integrating detail and context. Presented at Proc. of Eurographics Workshop on Visualisation in Scientific Computing

The perspective tunnel, a general kind of information visualisation artefact, embodies a visual form which exploits natural human visual perception. Perspective tunnels map information on to the floor, ceiling and walls of a tunnel, so that both ever...

Using active constructs in user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. (1997)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1997, August). Using active constructs in user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. Presented at In Procs of the 1st International Database engine

This paper examines the use of active constructs in the definition of user-interfaces to object-oriented databases. A development environment for user-interfaces to databases is presented which features the interactive use of active features of an ob...

Describing and characterising visualisations. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kennedy, J. B., Mitchell, K. J., & Barclay, P. J. (1996, May). Describing and characterising visualisations. Presented at 3rd FADIVA Workshop

A generic framework for describing and specifying interfaces to databases has been proposed [1]. Currently this
framework is being used as a model for the development of an environment for the construction of user interfaces to object oriented datab... Read More about Describing and characterising visualisations..

A framework for information visualisation (1996)
Journal Article
Kennedy, J., Mitchell, K., & Barclay, P. J. (1996). A framework for information visualisation. SIGMOD record, 25, 30-34

In this paper we examine the issues involved in developing information visualisation systems and present a framework for their construction. The framework addresses the components which must be considered in providing effective visualisations. The fr... Read More about A framework for information visualisation.

DRIVE: An environment for the organised construction of user interfaces to data. (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1996, July). DRIVE: An environment for the organised construction of user interfaces to data. Presented at 3rd International Workshop on User Interfaces to Databases - IDS3, 1996

This paper describes a runtime user-interface development
environment (UIDE) for the novel capability of interactively using and specifying user-interfaces to object-oriented databases (IDSs). A framework provides the foundation for IDSs constructed... Read More about DRIVE: An environment for the organised construction of user interfaces to data..

A framework for user-interfaces to databases (1996)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1996, May). A framework for user-interfaces to databases. Presented at International Workshop on Advanced Visual Interfaces, AVI\'96

A framework for user-interfaces to databases (IDSs) is proposed which draws from existing research on human computer interaction (HCI) and database systems. The framework is described in terms of a classification of the characteristic components of a... Read More about A framework for user-interfaces to databases.

3D information visualisation: Identifying and measuring success (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Kennedy, J., Mitchell, K., Barclay, P., & Marshall, B. (1995, July). 3D information visualisation: Identifying and measuring success. Presented at 2nd FADIVA Workshop, 1995, University of Glasgow

This paper presents some of our views on information visualisation and interfaces to databases with respect to the theme of the workshop.

Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface (1995)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Mitchell, K., Kennedy, J., & Barclay, P. J. (1995, July). Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface. Presented at 13th British National Conference on Database - BNCOD13, 1995, University of Manchester

We propose a conceptual approach to defining interfaces to databases which uses the features of a fully object oriented data language to specify interface objects combined with database objects. This achieves a uniform, natural way of describing data... Read More about Using a conceptual data language to describe a database and its interface.
