Abstract

This project aims at designing and developing the Web tools to support data visualization from tweets and hashtags collected by TSViz (Time Series Visualization). As main objective, we intend to provide information to researchers of different application domains so they can understand the impacts of public opinion and how they are mapped to social networks. The Web tools to be developed are: I) a cointegration analyzer; II) a concept drift analyzer; III) a filter to select information from specific World regions; and a IV) search engine to support word queries.
