IoT & Big Data

CC-BY-4.0 IoT Austria - The Austrian Internet of Things Network

Flink Forward 2016 - Conference

Itâs no secret that we live in a data driven world: a world where technology has allowed us to get to the point where, according to IBM, more than 90% of the worldâs data was created in the last two years alone. It is a phenomenon that has led to the emergence of data science and data scientists, the increased need for statisticians, and experts in informational design such as Edward Tufte, fellow of the American Statistical Organization.

The problem is that the massive amount of data that we generate is difficult to keep up with, access, comprehend, and thus effectively use to our benefit.

The Purpose of Data Visualization:

Emerging heavily as a result within the last few years are data visualization tools, designed to help us work more effectively with data.

Most of us interpret and understand information best visually and thus information visualization is often key to true comprehension. Data visualization is, as its name suggests, a visual representation of data, its main benefits being in making complex data more accessible, interpretable, and presentable. It is closely related to the fields of information visualization, information graphics, scientific visualization, and statistical graphics.

David McCandless, London based author, data journalist, information designer, and founder of the website Information is Beautiful acknowledges that, in an age where we are often plagued by âinformation overload,â in addition to looking really cool, visualizing information allows us to see patterns and connections that matter and thus design information to make more sense, to focus only on the information thatâs important, and to tell stories.

Challenges and Limitations of Data Visualization Tools:

The challenge in not only recognizing the value in big data, but in actually making use of it, lies in the ability to effectively understand it. There are some obvious limitations when it comes to using data visualization tools to decode your data and actually benefit from the results.

The original ZoomCharts team recognized these limitations. There was no data visualization library available where data could be explored interactively on all modern devices. What was out there was either data visualization tools where data could be displayed on modern devices in static visualizations, or where it could be displayed interactively, but not on all modern devices.

How ZoomCharts Aimed to Solve These Issues:

The story of how ZoomCharts got started began with recognizing the limitations of simply working with current technology, and not anticipating the needs and desires arising with the advancement of newer and future technologies. The teamâs focus thus became creating charts and graphs that would be supported by the technology of tomorrow. The resulting software:

⢠Is 100% interactive and responsive, allowing users to see only the information they need, and drill down further into the data when necessary

⢠Is able to support massive data sets

⢠Works with any modern device, including tablets, phones, and other mobile devices that use touch screens, giving users the ability to tap, swipe, and pinch their way to exploring the intricacies of their data

⢠Performs at incredibly fast speeds, with no lag or waiting time involved when making changes to data presentation, even with big data sets

ZoomCharts at DevClub.lv: Developing a Javascript SDK

On January 15, 2015, ZoomCharts Co-Founder and CTO Viesturs Zariņš presented at DevClub.lv - a community of Latvian IT specialists that gather monthly and host free talks, presentations, and events to allow the local IT community to share knowledge, network, and communicate. Zariņš discussed the unique challenges faced in developing JavaScript SDK.

Here is a brief overview of his PowerPoint presentation on ZoomCharts, the world’s most interactive data visualization software that will support all your data presentation needs with incredible speed.

What is ZoomCharts?

What defines ZoomCharts advanced data visualization software? It is NOT another HTML5 charts library. It is:

- Interactive

- Fast

- Touch enabled

- Supports big data

A long time ago

DOS 6.2 allowed for:

- 320x240x8bpp

- Direct access to pixels on screen

- Assembler for performance

Today, the Web has finally caught up in the graphics department. Now, we have access to:

- Multiple browsers and rendering technologies

- Multiple resolutions

- Performance that varies by browser and device

Development setup:

- We write in JavaScript

- Commit to GitHub

- Build system in JavaScript

- Debug in Chrome

- Run automated tests

- Like WebStorm (and Vim)

Graphics:

Canvas (fast)

SVG (slow)

WebGL (>50%)

Interactive animations:

Zoom in and out of the graph, drag and drop data, all with your mouse or trackpad.

Graceful degradation:

High FPS (frames per second) lets you scale graphics with low image degradation.

Third party libraries:

- Raphael

- Hammer.js

- Leaflet

- Moment.js

Challenges:

- Responsive design: layouts can shift and look nice on desktop screens vs. not so nice on vertical, mobile screens

- Big screen resolutions: uses devicePixelRatio for sharp rendering, but no hardware acceleration beyond 2048x2048

- Safari compatibility: with 100% CPU, input events are blocked and browser locks up; strange code offers fixes

- HTML on canvas: DOM is slow; basic HTML markup must be parsed and rendered manually; text caching helps

Support:

- Process: TrialSupportBuy

- 1 day issue resolution

- #1 Tell me what I did wrong

- #2 Can you do…

Testing:

- Automated tests on every GIT push

Automatically:

- Compare images

- Record performance

- View errors in console

Interactive testing:

- Next step: record and playback

BrowserStack:

- Interactive mode

- Automated: Selenium API

Debugging:

Chrome Developer tools (F12)

- Debugging

- Profiling

- Timeline

Remote debugging available: developer.chrome.com/devtools/docs/remote-debugging

Future:

- More charts

- Extension API

- Memory allocation tracking

- WebGL

We are looking for statically-typed language:

- Error checking

- Performance

- Superior minification

- Easy to write and read

- Easy to call from JS

Building

Custom build script:

- Compile

- Minify

- Extract documentation

- Embed customer data
