End Users, Applications, Criteria Crew members Flight controllers System specialists Cross-check automated diagnoses Telemetry display during procedure execution Collaboration among flight controllers Need for Effectiveness, Flexibility > Need for Predictability End Users Applications Best Target Applications Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  9. Cross-Checking MBR Diagnoses • Insufficient instrumentation to discriminate among faults • Insufficient instrumentation to detect fault • Unanticipated fault mode • Unanticipated interaction between components • Signal processing provides unreliable pass/fail test • Detect incorrect mis-diagnoses • Correct diagnosis different from user intuition • Isolate specific fault • Isolate root cause Potential for MBR misdiagnosis Reasons for cross-checking Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

Mission Operations System Visualization Content Editors Signals Visualization Designer Questions, analysis goals Analysis Goals Visualization Goal Manager Intelliviz User Interface Visualization Design Manager Visualizations Visualizations User Profiles Telemetry Database Data catalog Reference Data System Models Analysis Goals Proposals Visualizations Visualization Design Specialists Visualization Content Objects, Templates System Design Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  11. Key Modules Visualization Goal Manager (VGM) Visualization Designer Visualization User Interface User Profile Tracks user tasks. Infers data analysis goals. Visualization Design Manager (VDM) manages visualization selection and layout. Visualization Design Specialists (VDMs) propose and generate visualizations. Accepts direct, indirect requests for visualizations. Exploits context to streamline user interaction. Enables tailoring to user-specific preferences. Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  12. Viz Goal Manager – Tracks User Tasks Inputs Outputs Task Model Heuristics Signals from mission ops software User commands Indications of user tasks Open tasks Possible next tasks Decomposition of tasks into subtasks Signals indicating start/end of task Classification of signals (system event, user command) Track when tasks start and stop Generate possible user subtasks Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  13. Viz Goal Manager - Goal Inference KB Variables Datasets Components Analysis Goal Types Heuristics Descriptions of variables available for visualization Associated with variables Attributes: role, data type, cardinality Associated with each variable Variables that characterize component’s operation Whether variables are inputs or outputs of component See current value of scalar, 1D, or N-dim variable Compare current values w/ each other or nom range Compare tuples of variables with reference model See variable’s history Compare history with reference model See functional, power, or monitoring/control topology Relate current values to topology of components Infer data analysis goals from user tasks Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  14. Viz Goal Manager – Sample Rule If Then User task = verify component, and VGM can determine input and output variables of the suspected component. Assert analysis goals to see the current value of each operational input and output variable. Assert lower-level user tasks to relate these current values to their nominal ranges, if any. Check if there is only one input and one output variable, and if so, Assert a user task to compare their current values to any known nominal reference multivariate relation. Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  15. Visualization Designer Algorithm Algorithm Characteristics 1. VDS accepts analysis goals from VGM. 2. VDM requests proposals from Visualization Design Specialists (VDSs). 3. VDM selects proposals that maximize visualization effectiveness and minimize cost. 4. VDSs generate selected visualizations Modular – can extend to support new visualizations. Flexible – accommodate VDSs using diverse knowledge and algorithms. Variable automation – ranging from manually-designed to highly customized at run-time.

  16. Iterative Selection of Visualizations One graph per analysis goal Unfilled bars show unselected visualizations Colors bars show selected visualizations Gray bar shows goal’s importance Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  17. Visualization Design Specialists Tables Meters Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  20. Scenario 1 – Corroded Relay Contacts Situation Analysis Goals Candidate Visualizations Selected Corrosion or foreign matter between contacts of relay switch controlling thermal loop pump causes higher resistance and lower pump voltage. FP detects low coolant flow rate. MBR diagnoses problem with pump. From user task: Verify Pump. VGM generates goals to view values of pump’s differential pressure and impeller speed, relate these to nominal ranges and nominal relation curve.

  21. Scenario 1 – Corroded Relay Contacts   Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  22. Scenario 2 – Mis-calibrated Sensor Situation Analysis Goals Candidate Visualizations Selected Current sensor for EPS device is mis-calibrated, reporting higher than normal values.

  24. Scenario 3 – Degraded Battery Capacity Situation Analysis Goals Candidate Visualizations The battery operates, accepting and providing charge, but it loses charge earlier than expected. MBR correctly diagnoses battery failure which enables safing procedure to use redundant battery. However, this does not explain why the battery failed (shorter charge cycle, lower charge current, higher discharge current, or degraded battery capacity?) See failed battery voltage history. Relate to nominal reference curve. See nominal battery voltage history. Relate to nominal reference curve. Time sequence graphs of voltages over complete charge/discharge cycle Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  25. Scenario 3 – Degraded Battery Capacity  Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  26. Scenario 4 – Same Data, Alternate Views Situation Data Intelliviz selects different visualizations for the same data when analysis goals are varied across four test cases. The primary variation is the “priority” associated with each analysis goal. Current values and range limits of pump voltage and pump speed for three similar pumps/ Functional topology of pump interconnections. Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  27. Scenario 4 – Same Data Alternate Views Analysis Goals 1. View current values of voltage, speed for pumps 2. Relate current values to reference ranges 3. Relate current values to locations in the functional topology diagram where they are measured 4. Relate current voltage values from distinct pumps 5. Relate current speed values from distinct pumps 6. Relate (voltage, speed) current value tuples from distinct pumps to each other and to nominal reference curve Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  33. Phase II Objective and Plan Objective Version 1 Version 2 Version 3 Develop operational prototype of Intelliviz at technology readiness level 6 to demonstrate its feasibility, utility, and usability by a NASA-relevant user community and task area. Baseline end-to-end functionality, limited scenarios, demo Extended coverage of situations and visualizations, leave-behind for test usage by NASA user group Operational prototype, supports extended usage Intelliviz – intelligent telemetry data visualization assistant – final briefing at NASA Ames

  34. Intelliviz Risks Risk Cannot generate “good” visualizations Cannot infer or accept analysis goals Knowledge base is hard to maintain Automated visualization is disorienting Risk Assessment, Mitigation Selection algorithms can be parameterized. Can specify methods for setting parameters. User profiles encode preferences. Can create general or specific Specialists. Goal inference demonstrated. Menus allow user selection of generic goals elaborated automatically from context. Visualization Designer is modular, extensible. Visualization Goal Manager less understood. Can configure degree of automation. Can use as design time tool vs. run-time. Should carefully select target users, task areas.
