A User-interaction Approach in an Information-cockpit
This position paper introduces an approach for user interaction in an information-cockpit. The informationcockpit in our case is an explorative visual user interface backed by a faceted search-engine. The user interface employs several visualizations helping the user to get an overview of the data and providing intuitive drill-down functionality on search results. Besides searching and visualizing of data on a personal drive, our informationcockpit supports federated searching where files are located across heterogeneous data sources in the network.
