Abstract
Tactical decision makers rely on highly processed information to make decisions and solve problems. Such highly processed information spaces place unique demands on visualization and information management technologies. The purpose of this paper is to describe our use of a visualization tool, called the Reasoning Systems and Information Space (RSIS) Navigator, which is being used to represent the information associated with a tactical scene for Navy command decision makers. The paper begins with a discussion of the rationale for our approach, shows how a cognitive metaphor is being used to construct visualizations, and concludes with a discussion of relevant research and development issues, and future work.
