Abstract

This paper presents a data analysis tool for mobile devices. Coordinated views are used to enhance the user´s perception over data and diminish the difficulties caused by the lack of resources these mobiles present, specially when it comes to display size. The tool was totally developed in JavaME, what guarantees portability, scalability and code reuse. It presents two visualization techniques, implemented and coordinated with filters, scatterplot graph with georeferenced maps and treemap. Besides, preliminary usability tests were performed with users.
