Knowing What You See - Let's Talk About Front-end Consistency

Explore a new view-based model for interactive visualization and learn how database transaction techniques can be applied to maintain consistency in modern data visualizations. Dive into the challenges of managing consistency in the face of inherent asynchrony and event reordering. Discover a set of declarative policies for visualization consistency and witness a demonstration of this Domain-Specific Language (DSL) in action. Examine time diagrams, anomalies, and the balance between functionality and performance. Investigate real-time interaction updates, incremental visualization, and consistency definitions for mission-critical scenarios. Analyze the design space for dealing with inconsistency, including a relational model and interaction as a transaction. Learn about conflict types, interaction constraints, merge functions, and visualization snapshots. Gain insights from practical examples such as cross-filtering and explore related work in this 36-minute conference talk from Strange Loop Conference.
