Information Visualization With Text Data Mining for Knowledge Discovery Tools in Bioinformatics | 2009-07-18 | Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology |
| An abundant amount of information is produced in the digital domain, and an effective Information Extraction (IE) system is required to surf through this sea of information. This paper shows that an interactive visualization system works effectively to complement an IE system. In particular, three-Dimensional (3D) visualization can turn a data-centric system into a user-centric one by facilitating the human visual system as a powerful pattern recognizer to become a part of the IE cycle. Because information as data is multidimensional in nature, 2D visualization has been the preferred mode. However, one argues that the extra dimension available for them in a 3D mode provides a valuable space where one can pack an orthogonal aspect of the available information.

Using Clustered File System Software for Superior Application Availability | 2009-07-01 | IDG (International Data Group) |
| Managers across organizations of all types and sizes would prefer not to experience downtime, but that might not be realistic expectation. Organizations for which downtime - say, even 20 minutes - is a costly proposition have the option of using a clustered file system to deliver faster failover and less downtime than is possible using some of more traditional high-availability approaches. Deploying a cluster file system and running clustered services on top of it can simplify the failover process, reduce time to operation, and reduce the costs associated with application downtime. These benefits are achieved by delivering truly shared storage across a series of locally or geographically distributed nodes that eliminate the need to go through all those steps that take up so much time.

Visio Partner Uses Process Visualization to Cut Sales Engagement From Months to Days | 2009-06-01 | Microsoft |
| Since 1998, Bluespring Software, a Microsoft Gold Certified Partner, has been a leading business process analysis and management software innovator. To give customers better visibility into their processes, help justify process improvements, optimize and standardize processes, and reduce costs, Bluespring needed to add process visualization functionality to its software. Now, with Microsoft Office Visio 2007 and its process modeling capabilities at the core of all Bluespring process modeling efforts, the company has been able to decrease the length of its sales engagements from several weeks or months to just three to five days, realize a 100 percent closure rate for reengagements with previously hesitant customers, and increase sales pipeline growth by 50 percent in three months.

HP Integrity NonStop System and PDSG CDX Software at the Heart of Successful NCHCI/State of Montana Pilot | 2009-06-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| National Center for Health Care Informatics wanted to demonstrate that the HP-PDSG solution could enable health information exchange among disparate data sets quickly, easily, and cost-effectively. Source data was collected from four geographically dispersed Montana hospitals and fed through the HP-PDSG solution into the syndromic surveillance system at the Montana Department of Public Health and Human Services (DPHHS). The PDSG software, which complies with all relevant data-sharing and technology standards, normalized the data into the required format for the DPHHS system.

Maritime Agency Provides Real-Time Data With Enhanced Visualization Technology | 2009-06-01 | Microsoft |
| As part of the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Maritime Administration acts as the information advocate for the Marine Transportation System, which consists of waterways, ports, and intermodal connections that allow the various modes of transportation to move people and goods to, from, and on the water. The agency's process for gathering critical information - especially during a crisis - caused frustration and delays, so it wanted to find a solution that would give decision makers a single, geographic view of the vast array of data sources. Working with IDV Solutions, the agency developed MarView, a solution based on the Microsoft Single View Platform (Microsoft SVP), a framework for developing data visualization solutions.

Discovering Devices: Using HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 | 2009-06-01 | Hewlett-Packard (HP) |
| Discovery features enable HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 to find both network-connected and PC-connected printers and Multi-Function Peripherals (MFPs) and then add them to the HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 All Devices list. In many cases, the administrator may have information about the network that can be used in HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 discovery settings. Some discovery features enable the administrator to search for devices without the benefit of networking details. A powerful discovery engine exists within HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 enabling administrators to locate most devices on both small and large networks. Web Jetadmin 10.2 includes a new discovery for printers located in Active Directories. Scheduling and discovery templates allow administrators to tailor HP Web Jetadmin 10.2 features to any topology or geographically deployed printer fleet.

Missing data: the hidden problem - Draw more valid conclusions with SPSS Missing Value Analysis | 2009-06-01 | SPSS |
| Just about everyone doing analysis has some missing data, especially survey researchers, market researchers, database analysts, researchers and social scientists. Missing data includes questions without answers or variables without observations. Even a small percent of missing data can cause serious problems with your analysis leading you to draw wrong conclusions. This white paper presents a case study demonstrating how missing data can affect your analysis and the decisions you make based on your results. It uses PASW Missing Values to overcome a missing data problem to make better decisions.
