Title: Intelligent User Interfaces for Information Analysis: A Cognitive Model

Conference ·
OSTI ID:894871

Intelligent user interfaces (IUIs) for information analysis (IA) need to be designed with an intrinsic understanding of the analytical objectives and the dimensions of the information space. These analytical objectives are oriented around the requirement to provide decision makers with courses of action. Most tools available to support analysis barely skim the surface of the dimensions and categories of information used in analysis, and almost none are designed to address the ultimate requirement of decision support. This paper presents a high-level model of the cognitive framework of information analysts in the context of doing their jobs. It is intended that this model will enable the derivation of design requirements for advanced IUIs for IA.
