6th High End
Visualization Workshop
Open issues in visualization with special concentration on applications in astrophysics, numerical relativity, computational fluid dynamics and high-performance computing.
This workshop is the sixth one in a series of nearly annual meetings among researchers in the field of scientific visualization and end-users from application areas with needs for high-end visualizations of their data.Location
8-12 Dec 2010 University Center Obergurgl, AustriaFeature 2010
Design and Concepts of Visualization Frameworks
This workshop's proceeding will provide a platform for publishing papers about core and design concepts of visualization frameworks, that might not fit elsewhere. Design of visualization software is not an algorithm by itself, it is not a new graphics rendering, it is not an application. It is yet an important aspect that deserves its own platform to be presented and published.Any contributions to this year's feature will be highly welcome. As every year, we encourage also contributions outsides the specific feature which fit into the scope of the workshop.
We especially look for contributions not only from visualiziation and computer scientists but also from application scientists and possible end-users telling about their visualizatione needs and unsolved problems.
Scope
- Concepts and design for visualization frameworks, applications, libraries
- Generic and specific data structures for visualization purposes
- Demands, requirements and wishes from application domains on visualization
- Visions on "how visualization should be"
- Visualization approaches on the petascale - can we ever interactively visualize terabytes and petabytes of data? do we even want this?
- Applicability of GPUs, emerging hardware like cell processors or physics cards
- Application areas, in particular interdisciplinary work with domain experts
- Numerical models on adaptive meshes or multiblocks and resulting specific demands for visualization
- Existing visualization frameworks (e.g., VTK, Amira, Chombovis), their design benefits and limitations
- Demands and constraints on parallel rendering strategies and grid-based environments from non-regular domain decomposition, including (not limited to) workflow managements, brokering, performance-modeling etc.
- Grid technologies and parallelization techniques for visualization and rendering
- Using and interfacing databases from and for Scientific Visualization
