5th High-End Visualization Workshop

(sponsored by the Center for Computation & Technology at LSU and LITE)

This workshop has been postponed. It was initially set to take place Oct. 27-31, 2008, but now will take place during the Spring 2009 semester. Please check this site often for updates and to see when the new dates for the conference as well as new dates and instructions to submit proceedings for the conference are announced.

PROGRAM:

Open issues in visualization with special concentration on applications in astrophysics, numerical relativity, computational fluid dynamics and high-performance computing. This workshop is the fifth one in a series of meetings among researchers in the field of scientific visualization and end-users from application areas with needs for high-end visualizations of their data. Previous events took place in Obergurgl, Austria, hosted by the University of Innsbruck. This year, for the first time, it will take place in Louisiana. We envision alternating locations on future events.

This year's feature: Remote and Collaborative Visualization

With the technological resources of networking resources, scientific visualization is no longer not only bound to local desktop machines, but it has even become mandatory to utilize the ability to connect to other resources. On the one hand, the sheer amount of data from modern supercomputing simulation makes it impossible to transfer all data to a single machine or even laptop, and the scientists face the question how to inspect their data without loosing possibly important details. On the other hand, with collaborations among the globe, it is as relevant to share views of data same as sending emails or browsing websites. Yet, no such technology exists for scientific data. We intend to discuss current implementations, visions for future directions and what the highest demands and possible bottlenecks are for such technology.

This workshop is inter-disciplinary by nature, and as we do every year, we also encourage contributions that are outside the focus topic.

TOPICS OF INTEREST

* Remote visualization servers
* Collaborative visualization
* Interoperability among different visualization software
* Distributed and parallel visualization
* Scalability of visualization algorithms
* Existing visualization frameworks (e.g., VTK, Amira, Chombovis) and their support for remote and collaborative visualization
* Workflow management systems and integrability with visualization software
* Demands and constraints as seen from end-users
* Availability of Grid technologies for visualization, in particular interactive
