| |  | Weaver, Stephen D. | On the Brink: Using Visual Analytics to Explore Decisions Made During the Cuban Missile Crisis read moreAbstract: The 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis was a pivotal time in the history of civilization. Many difficult decisions were made by a plethora of persons having different backgrounds, motives, beliefs, and intentions—while under extraordinarily intense pressure. In our paper, we discuss an approach designed for exploratory analysis of the decisions made using ontologies and based in visual analytics. With customized software to support our work, we will demonstrate how the Cuban Missile Crisis unfolded with a novel approach.  This article is not yet tagged | 2007 |
| |  | Agrawal, Ritesh J. | Space Time Analysis in an Enterprise GIS read moreAbstract: The spatial and non-spatial data is increasingly used in the disease ecology and ecosystem health analysis and management. The present state of spatial data management system and the currently available tools are restrictive in developing and analyzing complex models. Recognizing the need for better and efficient data management system and specialized tools, the College of Veterinary Medicine at University of Illinois, Urbana-Champaign initiated a project to build a central GIS data repository and develop specialized temporal analysis tools. This paper discusses the development of central spatial data repository and the temporal analysis tools that will be used by the College of Veterinary Medicine. This project is unique since it is the first initiative towards building the central database repository for the college research projects.  This article is not yet tagged | 2003 |
