针对工作流特点,提出一种将工作流性能分析进行图形化和可视化的方法。向工作流运行阶段的实际业务数据提出评估模型,并给出基于三维管道隐喻的工作流可视化方法,将抽象的工作流运行阶段实际业务数据映射到三维可视形态中;继而通过显著的视觉编码手段,将用户感兴趣的指标和参数结合可视形态进行呈现,提高用户观察效率,从而提供一个改进和优化工作流的有力工具。
Aiming at the characteristic of workflow, we propose a graphical and visual approach for workflow performance analysis. First, we put forward the evaluation model for practical business data in work_flow runtime, and present the 3D pipeline metaphor-based workflow visualisation approach; then, we map the abstract practical business data in workflow runtime onto 3D visual form, and followed by representing user interested indicators and parameters in combination with visual form through distinct visual encoding method to improve user observation efficiency, so as to provide a powerful tool for improving optimising workflow.
