As an important national strategy infrastructure, the Space Information Network (SIN) is a powerful platform for future information support. In this paper, we design and implement a user-centered, dynamic, interactive visualization system (SINDVis), and aim to assist multi-class users to understand, build, develop, maintain, and manage the SIN. We introduce the concept and architecture of SIN, summarize the key technologies of dynamic visualization and visual analysis, and analyze the basic characteristics of three types of users. Combining the content above, we design the architecture of SINDVis from an input module, a core-processing module, an output module, and a user body. We also describe eight basic functions of the entity domain view (GeoView) and topology domain view (TopolView). Meanwhile, we analyze the implementation methods of the GeoView and TopolView, including an improved Force-Directed Algorithm (FDA) layout, Fusion of Animation and Timeline (FAT) visualization, and Panning and Zooming (P&Z) interactions. We analyze the experiment platforms and running environments of the GeoView and TopolView and realize the main contents of both views with a typical SIN. The results also verify the validity and feasibility of the theories and methods proposed. Finally, we discuss and analyze experimental results and the advantages and disadvantages of the SINDVis and look forward to future work. With the development of visualization and visual analysis technology, both application-driven and user-interaction features are gradually highlighted. We introduce the visualization technology into the field of SIN in order to provide new ideas for the basic theory and key technology research of SIN.

<p><strong>Abstract.</strong> With the development of geographic information technology, the way to get geographical information is constantly, and the data of space-time is exploding, and more and more scholars have started to develop a field of data processing and space and time analysis. In this, the traditional data visualization technology is high in popularity and simple and easy to understand, through simple pie chart and histogram, which can reveal and analyze the characteristics of the data itself, but still cannot combine with the map better to display the hidden time and space information to exert its application value. How to fully explore the spatiotemporal information contained in massive data and accurately explore the spatial distribution and variation rules of geographical things and phenomena is a key research problem at present. Based on this, this paper designed and constructed a universal thematic data visual analysis system that supports the full functions of data warehousing, data management, data analysis and data visualization. In this paper, Weifang city is taken as the research area, starting from the aspects of rainfall interpolation analysis and population comprehensive analysis of Weifang, etc., the author realizes the fast and efficient display under the big data set, and fully displays the characteristics of spatial and temporal data through the visualization effect of thematic data. At the same time, Cassandra distributed database is adopted in this research, which can also store, manage and analyze big data. To a certain extent, it reduces the pressure of front-end map drawing, and has good query analysis efficiency and fast processing ability.</p>

Структура дискретного временного ряда тесно связана со свойствами процесса, который он описывает. В рамках дискретного математического анализа имеется несколько подходов к анализу структуры дискретных рядов: геометрические меры, динамические коридоры и концепция тренда. Для дискретного временного ряда, заданного в общем случае на нерегулярной сетке, с характером тренда тесным образом связана регрессионная производная: области ее положительного (отрицательного) значения соответствуют возрастающим (убывающим) трендам, а границы между ними - экстремумам. В настоящей работе исследуются возможности применения методов дискретного математического анализа для разработки процедуры регистрации вступления волны цунами по оперативным данным измерения уровня моря. The research addresses the possibility of application of the methods of discrete mathematical analysis to develop a procedure for recording tsunami wave arrival on the base of the operational data for measuring sea level. As a basis for constructing a tsunami wave registration procedure, this research uses a schematization of the actions of the oceanographer on-duty during visual analysis of the sea level records. The task of automatic registration of a tsunami wave by sea level recording arises in various situations of information support of the oceanographer on duty. Requirements for the processing of sea level records depend on the situation. The structure of a discrete time series is closely related to the properties of the described process. As part of the discrete mathematical analysis, there are several approaches to the analysis of the structure of discrete series: geometric measures, dynamic corridors and the trend concept. For a discrete time series, given in the general case on an irregular grid, the regression derivative is closely related to the nature of the trend: the areas of its positive (negative) values correspond to the increasing (decreasing) trends, and the boundaries between them are extremes. The content of this research is a presentation of data processing techniques using regression derivatives, constructing data processing procedures based on derivatives, as well as a demonstration of their applicability to the problem of recording tsunami wave arrival according to the measuring of sea level.

Magnet Mail (MM) is a visualization system for emails based on a zoomable interface and on manipulation of objects. Users are able to search, analyze and understand relations among email messages as long as they provide searching keywords to do so, as well as interact with graphical objects in the display in a pro-active manner. The underlying concept is a magnet metaphor that relates user interaction, searching keywords and relations among emails. In this paper, the authors present a prototype that interacts with a mass-market email system and most of its graphical implementation relies on the Piccolo toolkit.

For many tasks of exploratory data analysis, visualization plays an important role. It is a key for efficient integration of human expertise — not only to include his background knowledge, intuition and creativity, but also his powerful pattern recognition and processing capabilities. The design goals for an optimal user interaction strongly depend on the given visualization task, but they certainly include an easy and intuitive navigation with strong support for the user’s orientation.
