During cluster analysis domain experts and visual analysis are frequently relied on to identify the optimal clustering structure. This process tends to be adhoc, subjective and difficult to reproduce. This work shows how competency questions can be used to formalise expert knowledge and application requirements for context specific evaluation of a clustering application in the residential energy consumption sector.

Comparing Similarity Perception in Time Series Visualizations

Overall, this work indicates that the choice of visualization affects what temporal patterns the authors consider as similar, i.e., the notion of similarity in time series is not visualization independent.
