Figure 13 shows an example of a how user
activity is currently visualized. It is available to users of CASCADE as the
private eye function, although its primary purpose is to aid researcher in
understanding connection patters for the purpose of developing agents that
might have to analyze this data stream. In its intermediate form, the analysis
shows the number and duration of CASCADE sessions for any group or subgroup of
users over any number of days and over any period during the day. A histogram
of current connection time at the bottom of the display shows possible good
times for setting up synchronous meetings. The data might also be used to
better understand which users are active on the project and who is inactive,
etc.
