This panel includes participants from academia and industry who have each made significant contributions to the design of effective visualizations to support decision making in a variety of domains. Panel members will offer an example of an innovative decision support visualization concept and discuss the underlying cognitive demands it is meant to support as well as any artifacts they used in its development. Both the nature of the visualization itself, and the linkage to the processes ‘behind the curtain’ will be presented. Panelists will discuss the various techniques used and the pro's and con's of each.
