Effective visualization of a big data banking application

Abstract

Data analysis and monitoring is currently carried out within enterprises using Business Intelligence tools that are subject to major limitations (as outlined in the state of the art analysis that we perform). Effective visualization support is a very much needed feature in Big Data applications. In this paper we examine the visualisation requirements of a real world banking application, and identify generic visualisation tasks that are essential for doing effective analysis of a complex process that produces amazingly large amounts of data. The requirements for the visualization support that we propose are modelled using an application wireframe that acts a story-board. The effectiveness of the visualization facilities that we propose is demonstrated through their application to the Big Data banking use-case.
