4th High-End Visualization Workshop

> *** CALL FOR PAPERS ***
>
> 4th High-End Visualization Workshop
> University Center Obergurgl, Tyrol, Austria
> 17.06. - 22.06.2007
> http://www.vizworkshop.at/
>
>
> Open issues in visualization with special concentration on applications
> in astrophysics, numerical relativity, computational fluid dynamics and
> high-performance computing.
>
>
> This year's feature:
> Visualization of Non-Trivial Data Structures
>
>
> With the advancement of numerical simulations beyond uniform grids,
> visualization methods are also challenged to cope with the more complex
> data structures. We intend to discuss which data structures are out there
> (e.g., amr, multiblock, multipatches), what visualization methods already
> exist, and what the highest demands and needs for yet unsolved issues are.
> Focus is intended to be on topological issues of complex data sets,
leading
> to possible overlap among feature extraction, numerical algorithms and
> access methods to topologically non-trivial data itself.
>
> This workshop is inter-disciplinary by nature, and as every year we also
> encourage contributions that are outside the focus topic.
>
>
> TOPICS OF INTEREST
>
> * Visualization concepts for non-trivial spacetimes
> * Generic data structures for visualization purposes
> * Applicability of GPU's, 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) and
> their support for such data
> * Extending commonly used visualization techniques such as isosurfaces
> and raycasting to cover complex data structures
> * Demands and constraints on parallel rendering strategies and grid-based
> environments from non-regular domain decomposition, including (but not
> limited to) workflow managements, brokering, performance-modeling etc.
> * Utilizing modern rendering, display and interaction device, e.g.
> high-resolution, high-dynamic range, multitiled screens, for examining
> complex data structures
> * Grid technologies and parallelization techniques
>
