Abstract
We present drillboards, a technique for adaptive visualization dashboards consisting of a hierarchy of coordinated charts that the user can drill down to reach a desired level of detail depending on their expertise, interest, and desired effort. This functionality allows different users to personalize the same dashboard to their specific needs and expertise. The technique is based on a formal vocabulary of chart representations and rules for merging multiple charts of different types and data into single composite representations. The drillboard hierarchy is created by iteratively applying these rules starting from a baseline dashboard, with each consecutive operation yielding a new dashboard with fewer charts and progressively more abstract and simplified views. We also present an authoring tool for building drillboards and show how experts users can use to build up and deliver…
