A state transition approach to understanding users´ interactions

Understanding users´ interactions is considered as one of the important research topics in visual analytics. Although numerous empirical user studies have been performed to understand a user´s interaction, a limited study has been successful in connecting the user´s interaction to his/her reasoning. In this paper, we present an approach of understanding experts´ interactive analysis by connecting their interactions to conclusions (i.e. findings) through a state transition approach.
