Abstract

We present FLOWMATRIX, a system for the interactive exploration of time-labeled multivariate flows between pairs of geographic locations. FLOWMATRIX offers a coordinated visualization based on the interplay between a geographic map and a matrix that allow to discover trends tied to specific locations while offering an overview of metrics of the flows between all pairs of locations. The input data is clustered following a geographic hierarchy and the user can navigate between different levels of detail. The design of our system privileges the execution of simple tasks like assessing the volume and features of the flows between pairs of locations, enumerating destinations with poor performance, and sorting flow streams based on their volume.
