Zabala, Eugenio and Taylor, Richard W. (1993): PowerTools: New Generation Data Presentation Tools. In: Alty, James L., Diaper, Dan and Guest, D. (eds.) Proceedings of the Eighth Conference of the British Computer Society Human Computer Interaction Specialist Group - People and Computers VIII August 7-10, 1993, Loughborough University, UK. pp. 125-142.

“This paper introduces the PowerTools data presentation toolset and its application. PowerTools is the name given to a set of diverse data presentation systems, integrated under the Common Tool Control (CTC) program. At present, the system is made up of two visualisation tools (Maritxu and The Cave) and a sonification tool (SRT, Sonic Representation Tool). The system was originally developed to aid the understanding and optimisation of parallel computer systems. It is now being applied to problems in which quantity, variation and complexity of data is problematic (e.g. Control and Stock Markets). The visualisation tools have been designed to deal with large quantities of complex multivariate dynamic data. They exploit pre-attentive vision's ability to discriminate the data sub-sets that require attentive analysis. Maritxu is highly scalable and has been designed for data set comparison; The Cave portrays data evolution through time. SRT generates a sound track driven by the input data set and has been designed to represent multiple dynamic data items simultaneously.”
