}Modern interactive visualizations are akin to distributed systems, where user interactions, background data processing, remote requests, and streaming data read and modify the interface at the same time. This concurrency is crucial to provide an interactive user experience---forbidding it can cripple responsiveness. However, it is notoriously challenging to program distributed systems, and concurrency can easily lead to ambiguous or confusing interface behaviors. In this paper, we present DIEL…

Combining Design and Performance in a Data Visualization Management System
- Computer ScienceCIDR
- 2017
DeVIL is introduced, a SQL-like language to express static as well as interactive visualizations as database views that combine user inputs modeled as event streams and database relations, and it is shown that DeVIL can express a range of interaction techniques across sever.
Reactive Vega: A Streaming Dataflow Architecture for Declarative Interactive Visualization
- Computer ScienceIEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
- 2016
Reactive Vega is presented, a system architecture that provides the first robust and comprehensive treatment of declarative visual and interaction design for data visualization and the results of benchmark studies indicate superior interactive performance to both D3 and the original, non-reactive Vega system.
A DeVIL-ish approach to inconsistency in interactive visualizations

This paper presents a meta-declarative version of SQL shield application programmers from changes to physical and logical properties like disk layouts, indexes and schema changes, considered a foundational step forward in both the database systems and data visualization communities.
ConstraintJS: programming interactive behaviors for the web by integrating constraints and states
- Computer ScienceUIST
- 2012
ConstraintJS is described, a system that integrates constraints and finite-state machines (FSMs) with Web languages and illustrates that constraints combined with FSMs can be a clearer way of defining many interactive behaviors with a series of examples.
Voyager 2: Augmenting Visual Analysis with Partial View Specifications
- Computer ScienceCHI

This work presents Voyager 2, a mixed-initiative system that blends manual and automated chart specification to help analysts engage in both open-ended exploration and targeted question answering and contributes two partial specification interfaces.
imMens: Real‐time Visual Querying of Big Data
- Computer ScienceComput. Graph. Forum

Methods for interactive visualization of big data, following the principle that perceptual and interactive scalability should be limited by the chosen resolution of the visualized data, not the number of records are presented.
Vega-Lite: A Grammar of Interactive Graphics
- Computer ScienceIEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics
- 2017
Vega-Lite combines a traditional grammar of graphics, providing visual encoding rules and a composition algebra for layered and multi-view displays, with a novel grammar of interaction, that enables rapid specification of interactive data visualizations.
FORWARD: Data-Centric UIs using Declarative Templates that Efficiently Wrap Third-Party JavaScript Components

An end-to-end system implementation of the FORWARD web framework is demonstrated, including a web-based IDE, academic and commercial applications built in FORWARD and a wide variety of JavaScript components supported by the declarative templates.
Consistency Analysis in Bloom: a CALM and Collected Approach
- Computer ScienceCIDR
- 2011
This work introduces Bloom, a distributed programming language that is amenable to high-level consistency analysis and encourages order-insensitive programming, and proposes a program analysis technique that identifies points of order in Bloom programs: code locations where programmers may need to inject coordination logic to ensure consistency.
