Source of Challange - VAST 2018 Challange

The Visual Analytics Science and Technology (VAST) Challenge[1] is an annual contest with the goal of advancing the field of visual analytics through competition. The VAST Challenge is designed to help researchers understand how their software would be used in a novel analytic task and determine if their data transformations, visualizations, and interactions would be beneficial for particular analytic tasks. VAST Challenge problems provide researchers with realistic tasks and data sets for evaluating their software, as well as an opportunity to advance the field by solving more complex problems



Mini-Challenge 3 Background

An ornithology grad student from Mistford College named Mitch Vogel, who worked to find causes of the apparent reduction of the number of nesting pairs of the Rose-Crested Blue Pipit( VAST Mini Challenge 2 2017), has shifted to the small town of Sulev in Northern Europe. Mitch started to see the telltale signs of Methylosmolene damage at the nearby Panteleimon Aviary Sanctuary. Populations of the Greater Eurasian Red-Throated Pipit have been affected as per local bird watchers. Since furniture manufacturer EuroKasios factory, located at the nearby area from Mitch's University, is subsidiary of Kasios International.Inc (Company responsible for Methylosmolene damage), Mitch is immediately suspicious that EuroKasios is contaminating the aviary Sanctuary and endangering the Greater Eurasian Red-Throated Pipit. Even though Kasios International CEO claims that company is using an environmentally friendly replacement for Methylosmolene, Mitch is skeptical about it.

To verify his these things Mitch tried to contact the company spoke representative from their environmental compliance division. However, he was not granted permission. A fellow pipit lover who works at Kasios International has gathered up a variety of company data and identified a suspicious group within the company. Attached to the letter Mitch received a USB drive with the phone, email, meeting, and procurement records for Kasios International over the past 2 1/2 years. The VAST Mini Challenge 2 2018 is to put this data together to see if the problems with Kasios are much larger than Mitch initially suspected.
