Preliminary Study on Support of Determining Timing to Monitor Stream Data

Abstract

This paper reports the preliminary study on the development of monitoring support system for stream data. It is supposed that stream data such as online news has to be monitored during break of user's primary job. If a user check a stream data at wrong time, the efficiency of his/her primary job would go down. In order to help a user to monitor stream data, we are developing a system that gives a user a clue for determining the timing to monitor with using a dynamic bar chart. This paper reports the result of preliminary experiment, in which the effect of color of bars and individual differences on the timing decision is investigated.
