    Guidance or No Guidance? A Decision Tree Can Help
    (The Eurographics Association, 2018) Ceneda, Davide; Gschwandtner, Theresia; May, Thorsten; Miksch, Silvia; Streit, Marc; Tominski, Christian; Christian Tominski and Tatiana von Landesberger
    Guidance methods have the potential of bringing considerable benefits to Visual Analytics (VA), alleviating the burden on the user and allowing a positive analysis outcome. However, the boundary between conventional VA approaches and guidance is not sharply defined. As a consequence, framing existing guidance methods is complicated and the development of new approaches is also compromised. In this paper, we try to bring these concepts in order, defining clearer boundaries between guidance and no-guidance. We summarize our findings in form of a decision tree that allows scientists and designers to easily frame their solutions. Finally, we demonstrate the usefulness of our findings by applying our guideline to a set of published approaches.

    A Set-based Visual Analytics Approach to Analyze Retail Data
    (The Eurographics Association, 2018) Adnan, Muhammad; Ruddle, Roy A.; Christian Tominski and Tatiana von Landesberger
    This paper explores how a set-based visual analytics approach could be useful for analyzing customers' shopping behavior, and makes three main contributions. First, it describes the scale and characteristics of a real-world retail dataset from a major supermarket. Second, it presents a scalable visual analytics workflow to quickly identify patterns in shopping behavior. To assess the workflow, we conducted a case study that used data from four convenience stores and provides several insights about customers' shopping behavior. Third, from our experience with analyzing real-world retail data and comments made by our industry partner, we outline four research challenges for visual analytics to tackle large set intersection problems.
