      Abstract
      The need to understand and track files (and inherently, data) in cloud computing systems is in high demand. Over the past years, the use of logs and data representation using graphs have become the main method for tracking and relating information to the cloud users. While being used, tracking related information with 'data provenance' (i.e. series of chronicles and the derivation history of data on metadata) is the new trend for cloud users. However, there is still much room for improving data activity representation in cloud systems for end-users. We propose 'User-centric Visualization of data provenance with Gestalt (UVisP)', a novel user-centric visualization technique for data provenance. This technique aims to facilitate the missing link between data movements in cloud computing environments and the end-users uncertain queries over their files security and life cycle within cloud systems. The proof of concept for the UVisP technique integrates an open-source visualization API with Gestalt's theory of perception to provide a range of user-centric provenance visualizations. UVisP allows users to transform and visualize provenance (logs) with implicit prior knowledge of 'Gestalt's theory of perception.' We presented the initial development of the UVisP technique and our results show that the integration of Gestalt and 'perceptual key(s)' in provenance visualization allows end-users to enhance their visualizing capabilities, to extract useful knowledge and understand the visualizations better.
