Uma ferramenta visual para acompanhamento de fluxo de documentos

Abstract

The control of the documents flow was always a target of general interest, be for information s management that it represents or as results to stakeholders. This paper presents the prototype of a visual tool for monitoring the flow of documents through the use of computational resources based on information visualization techniques. Thus, in order to present a differentiated metaphor from those already implemented in systems with such purposes, this prototype allows users to record and monitor any type of administrative event in a more intuitive, through interaction with graphical or manipulation of the information representation. So, visualization techniques are investigated to provide resources to do the perception and interaction of users with information easier. In this context, the manipulation refers to change the scenario of the documents´ flow by user demand.
