2. What we do, normally
• Judiciously select a handful of combinations of various factors and run
those as scenarios. Then, we use these few points of reference to
interpolate/extrapolate to cover a large solution space to draw overall
conclusions.
3. What we can do, easily
• Significantly larger combinations offer two advantages:
• They improve the quality of insights as you can identify the tipping points and
not just the different disjoint configurations.
• This large set of solutions can be made available to policy-
makers/stakeholders/domain experts as a kind of “expert system”, which they
can interrogate meaningfully even without having deep knowledge of the
model.

13. What is VEDAViz?
• A powerful and intuitive web tool for constructing and sharing views
of model results.
• Specifically designed for three distinct uses:
• Individual analysis
• Collaborative analysis
• Dissemination
14. What makes is special?
• VEDAViz makes model results truly accessible to analysts and
stakeholders at different technical levels to explore and interpret
results, pose questions, and share insights.
• It can convert a model into an expert system that can promote and
support logical discussion among policy makers, stakeholders and
modelers.
15. Basic operations
• Filter
• allows filtering of multiple elements from each of the
following dimensions: Scenario, Variable, Model, Region
and Year. Can define sets of elements often selected
together.
• Configure
• Any dimension can be: put on x-axis, summed over, used
for small multiples or put on separate tabs
• Render
• Several predefined chart types, or even in tabular form
(pivot table), which can be downloaded to Excel
17. All this takes three things
• Create clusters of scenarios
• Run all these scenarios
• Visualize a large number of scenarios in an intuitive way
18. Dense scenario experiments
• More points of reference
• Possibility to turn the model into an expert system

20. New functionality to combine such
dimensions – Scenario clusters
• All tables would go into a single file
• One SYNC operation will create the entire cluster
• Case manager will run the cluster as a single case
• Cluster members will be available in browse
• Create DD only will create DD files and scripts in separate wrk folders
23. VEDAViz offer: modus operandi
• User Provides:
• Scenario files that specify each state of each scenario dimension (along with the
model)
• SnT file with views for VEDAViz. Each row of each table will be created as a variable.
• Scenario Matrix, with a few runs marked to be tested first. Ref case identified.
• Workflow:
• KanORS-EMR sends VD files of pilot runs. User may want to tweak the scenario
definition or the matrix.
• KanORS-EMR runs the matrix and creates a VEDAViz project with the variables for all
scenarios and scenario differences
• Views of SnT file will be created for interactive use.
• Set up portals, in discussion with the User.
