    A Business Intelligence Dashboard for the Phone: Small-scale Visualizations Embedded into a Mobile Analysis and Monitoring Solution
    (The Eurographics Association, 2023) Höll, Nils; Latif, Shahid; Beck, Fabian; Hoellt, Thomas; Aigner, Wolfgang; Wang, Bei
    Although smartphones have become ubiquitous, most of the visualization applications are still designed for large-screen devices. In a business intelligence context, dashboard solutions for monitoring key performance indicators and performing simple analysis tasks can profit from being available on the phone.We identify usage scenarios and design requirements by interviewing 20 business experts. Our solution adapts existing diagrams and proposes novel visualizations for the small-screen environment, and integrates them into an easy-to-use visual dashboard.

    A Deeper Understanding of Visualization-Text Interplay in Geographic Data-driven Stories
    (The Eurographics Association and John Wiley & Sons Ltd., 2021) Latif, Shahid; Chen, Siming; Beck, Fabian; Borgo, Rita and Marai, G. Elisabeta and Landesberger, Tatiana von
    Data-driven stories comprise of visualizations and a textual narrative. The two representations coexist and complement each other. Although existing research has explored the design strategies and structure of such stories, it remains an open research question how the two representations play together on a detailed level and how they are linked with each other. In this paper, we aim at understanding the fine-grained interplay of text and visualizations in geographic data-driven stories. We focus on geographic content as it often includes complex spatiotemporal data presented as versatile visualizations and rich textual descriptions. We conduct a qualitative empirical study on 22 stories collected from a variety of news media outlets; 10 of the stories report the COVID-19 pandemic, the others cover diverse topics. We investigate the role of every sentence and visualization within the narrative to reveal how they reference each other and interact. Moreover, we explore the positioning and sequence of various parts of the narrative to find patterns that further consolidate the stories. Drawing from the findings, we discuss study implications with respect to best practices and possibilities to automate the report generation.
