With increasingly powerful computers, the problem of visualizing large, complex data sets is central to empowering intelligence analysts to make informed decisions. With respect to the context of UI as applied to human-computer interaction (HCI), very few applications demonstrate the mission-centric criticality and power of good design than intelligence software. There are currently several tools available to analysts, one of the most prominent being i2's Analyst's Notebook. Although Analyst's Notebook is somewhat lagging in its user interface, i2's recent acquisition by IBM means that it will have the most advanced powerful computational back-end of all data analysis tools. For our project, we will explore ways to design an improved GUI as a web application on top of Analyst's Notebook, focusing on . Building off of existing data visualization frameworks, we will address usability problems in the way users interact with visualizations. To guide our efforts, we will focus on a specific case study of data sets concerning WiFi networks in Africa.
