摘要: Creating meaningful visualizations of multi-dimensional human, social, cultural, and behavioral (HSCB) data will provide greater insights to operational decision makers across a large variety problem domains. Developing deploying visualization tools presents challenges the analytic community, these are further compounded when presenting information on non-traditional dimensions battlefield encompassed by HSCB domain. Given that center gravity in Irregular Warfare is population, need for commanders understand this operationally relevant ways clear. Here we an overview providing visual displays support, methods chosen communicating output social simulation. We use Cultural Geography model as example simulation with accompanying visualizations, discuss importance display configurations, propose several paths forward future work visualization.
