A proposal on leveraging workflow technology for building process aware visual analytics system.

Workflow analysis, conducted using both cognitive workflows and process workflows, has been employed to build and improve visual analytics systems. However, workflows and the visual analytics system have to date remained computationally separate. In this paper, we propose that workflow technology be leveraged to create process aware visual analytics systems. We argue that a process aware visual analytics system would be better able to support users, collect provenance information on user activity and track user decision pathways. This will enable visual analytics systems to become process.
