The application of visualization technology in advancement degree of difficulty computing process

Abstract

In order to avoid the subjectivity and limitation of advancement degree of difficulty evaluating method based on lists, a visualizing method which applies the visualization technology in advancement degree of difficulty computing process is proposed. This method takes the improved technology readiness level assessing result of the technology to be assessed as the input of the visualizing process, and visualizes the readiness status of the technology to a two-dimension coordinate graph. The area which denotes the advancement degree of difficulty of the technology developing from one readiness level to a higher readiness level is shown in the coordinate graph. A computing formula is established to get the advancement degree of difficulty of the technology. The experimental results show that the proposed visualizing method can get the difficulty degree of the technology developing from one readiness level to another readiness level objectively and accurately. © (2012) Trans Tech Publications.
