Mission: Visualizing and accessing the heterogeneous processes and data in

the entire policy lifecycle design Objectives:

Enhancement of the visualization framework as a fundament for interfacing and providing modularity

Supporting of adaptable and adaptive visualizations and user interfaces for a human-centered visual interaction with the complex policy processes

Development of visualizations as key components integrated in the framework and supporting the FUPOL Core Platform

Providing visual support of the heterogeneous level of users’ expertise

Developing a set of semantics visualizations for accessing and interacting with the complex data and policy processes

Work Package Breakdown Structure (I)




Task 5.1: Visual Policy Lifecycle-Modeling Framework (I)

Design and development of an adaptable and adaptive visualization-

and interaction framework:

Providing interfaces to the Fupol Core Platform Providing interfaces between visualizations and interaction

modules developed in WP5 Providing application interfaces for interacting and (visual)

integrating of Fupol components and user interfaces Supporting of adaptability and adaptation for the visual

components Supporting heterogeneous data formats as core technology




Design and development of concepts adapting the components to users’ requirements Users’ pre-knowledge and expertise (novice to expert) Data characteristics and structure (Quantitative, Ordinal) Current activity and process support

Composition of visualizations and user interface components as

visualization cockpits Recommendation of a “best-fit” user interface based on current activity Support of the framework functionalities (Task 5.1)

Task 5.2: User Adaptation (I)




Design and development of interactive application interfaces especially for the integration of the Fupol simulation software Interfacing to simulation software Visual integration of the simulation software Support of interaction with the simulation software (UI-Mashup)

Task 5.3: Visual Simulation Support

Visualization / User Interface

Data & Process Analysis

application interface simulation support




Design and Development of social data- and networks visualizations for supporting collaboration (Web 2.0)

Based on WP3 to support managing the stakeholders’ collaboration facilitate the analysis of stakeholder collaboration for e.g. policy

requirements elicitation

Existing social network technologies will be investigated and integrated to support the visualization of the networks with semantics visualizations (multichannel social computing)

Task 5.4: Visual Collaboration Environment (I)




Design and development of heterogeneous visualizations for supporting user in the Policy Lifecycle-Modeling Process: Decision making Information finding Policy retrieving Policy life-cycle understanding

Development of three “classes” of visualizations: Semantics visualization Policy Lifecycle visualization Geographical Visualization (GIS)

Task 5.5: Policy Lifecycle-Modeling Process Visualization (I)




Semantics visualizations are used to model and visualize the semantic aspects of the FUPOL model

By orchestration with simulations and other types of visual representations, the information can be presented more effective

In FUPOL, the visualizations are investigating: time-dependent and variable models support of decision making support of information finding

Task 5.5: Policy Lifecycle-Modeling Process Visualization (III)
