Supporting explanation in the CZSaw Visual Analytics system

The intern will enhance a module of the CZSaw Visual Analytics system. The module is called the Script, and the enhancement will provide “semantic zoom” on the Script (when zoomed out, details are hidden, or replaced by summaries of them). Refinements will include (1) enabling the user to adjust the parameters by which the zoom is constructed, and (2) coordinate the semantic zoom with an existing note taking feature in CZSaw, toward supporting the analyst to construct explanations of what he or she did. The intern will also interview Boeing people to find out what Boeing products could benefit from the approaches illustrated by CZSaw, and what other requirements Boing might have.
