Research of Real-Time Collaboration and Data Visualization on Online Platforms

Municipalities from all over the world use asset management software as a decision-support tool for infrastructure planning and management. Executive-level users and financial planners need to understand, adjust and collaborate over the data stored in these systems. The objective of the project will be threefold: first, I will investigate new methods for a rich real-time collaboration experience on online platforms. Second, I will find new ways to visualize aggregated output data. Third, both goals will meet and I will research about ways in which users can interact and manipulate data visualizations in real time. The results for the company will be a more collaborative, with richer data visualizations, version of their core platform.
