SoftwareDate: June 11, 2001 Subject: TimeFinder environment for querying and exploration of time-series data Recent ComputerWorld article profiles TimeFinder software, developed by Harry Hochheiser, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland. Timefinder is a prototype environment for interactive querying and exploration of time-series data. Timefinder queries are built using timeboxes: a powerful graphical, direct-manipulation metaphor for the specification of queries over time-series datasets. Timefinder's timeboxes support interactive formulation and modification of queries, thus speeding the process of exploring time-series data sets and guiding data mining. TimeFinder includes windows for timebox queries, individual time-series, and details-on-demand. Other features include drag-and-drop support for query-by-example and graphical envelopes for displaying the extent of the entire data set and result set from a given query. visual interface that lets users manipulate simple graphical tools to query huge databases and then lets them see the results represented on a graph. Here is TimeFinder page and Computerworld article |
