Exploratory Visualization is an approach for helping users learn about distributed computations without requiring users to examine source code. Instead, visualizations provide intuition about the program's behavior and serve as an interface through which the programs are controlled. We have developed an exploratory visualization system with the goals of providing an intuitive and user-friendly user interface and developing an infrastructure that minimizes perturbation. We present a case-study to describe how a naive user can interact with the system to learn about and experiment with the running computation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations鈥揷itations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
