Combining Design and Performance in a Data Visualization Management System

Summary: Introduce DeVIL, a SQL-like language that models static and interactive visualizations as relational views over database relations plus user event streams, demonstrating expressiveness across interaction taxonomies. The relational lens enables provenance-based interaction optimization, concurrency-control for interactions, a streaming framework for near-interactive latency, and automated interface synthesis, unifying design and performance in a DVMS.
