Installation Guide for TimeSearcher

 

 

Project Description

TimeSearcher is a HCIL tool that supports interactive exploration in discovering trends in time series data.  Queries are built using timeboxes: a powerful graphical, direct-manipulation metaphor for the specification of queries over time-series datasets.

These timeboxes support interactive formulation and modification of queries, thus speeding the process of exploring time-series data sets and guiding data mining.
