A Visual Analytics Framework for Distributed Data Analysis Systems

This paper proposes a visual analytics frameworkthat addresses the complex user interactions required througha command-line interface to run analyses in distributed dataanalysis systems. The visual analytics framework facilitates theuser to manage access to the distributed servers, incorporate datafrom the source, run data-driven analysis, monitor the progress,and explore the result using interactive visualizations. We providea user interface embedded with generalized functionalities andaccess protocols and integrate it with a distributed analysissystem. To demonstrate our proof of concept, we present two usecases from the earth science and Sustainable Human BuildingEcosystem research domain.
