Abstract

We present BiDaML (Big Data Analytics Modeling Languages), an integrated suite of visual languages and supporting tool to help end-users with the engineering of big data analytics solutions. BiDaML, our visual notations suite, comprises six diagrammatic notations: brainstorming diagram, process diagram, technique diagrams, data diagrams, output diagrams and deployment diagram. BiDaML tool provides a platform for efficiently producing BiDaML visual models and facilitating their design, creation, code generation and integration with other tools. To demonstrate the utility of BiDaML, we illustrate our approach with a real-world example of traffic data analysis. We evaluate BiDaML using two types of evaluations, the physics of notations and a cognitive walkthrough with several target end-users e.g. data scientists and software engineers.
