Subject: TimeFinder environment for querying and exploration of time-series data
Recent ComputerWorld article profiles TimeFinder software, developed
by Harry Hochheiser, a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the
University of Maryland.

Timefinder is a prototype environment for interactive querying and
exploration of time-series data. Timefinder queries are built using
timeboxes: a powerful graphical, direct-manipulation metaphor for the
specification of queries over time-series datasets. Timefinder's
timeboxes support interactive formulation and modification of queries,
thus speeding the process of exploring time-series data sets and
guiding data mining. TimeFinder includes windows for timebox queries,
individual time-series, and details-on-demand. Other features include
drag-and-drop support for query-by-example and graphical envelopes for
displaying the extent of the entire data set and result set from a
given query.  visual interface that lets users manipulate simple
graphical tools to query huge databases and then lets them see the
results represented on a graph.
