Presented by: Edmond Rogers, Grace Rogers, John Stillwell
Date: Wednesday July 26, 2017
Time: 15:30 - 16:00
Location: Ground Truth

As researchers we all struggle and push the limits of available data visualization libraries. Availability of real time network flows have exceeded the capacity of current visualization libraries and the ability of the human to grasp densely visualized information. How much data is too much? We will explore the current state of the art in visualization as we try to answer the question of how to visualize backbone level enterprise data.

Grace Rogers

Grace Rogers is a student involved in several data analysis and visualization projects. She is currently designing the front end of CyPSA’s visualization tool for Kaedago. Additionally, Grace is working with researchers at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on a tool to visualize the information presented in the NISTIR 7628 document. A journalistic background and childhood exposure to industry lingo has given her a knack for breaking down technologically advanced concepts into something the average person can understand. In her free time, Grace embraces her inner child by watching Disney movies and playing Dungeons & Dragons.
