Abstract

The goal of this paper is to present PRISMA Mobile, an information visualization tool for android-based tablets. The application is based on a client-server model where the client uses as few resources as possible in order to preserve memory, battery and other device resources. To get better profit from the device, the tool uses the treemap technique coupled to other IV resources, as zoom, filters and details-on-demand, to improve user cognitive capabilities when analyzing data.
