Product architects will be on hand to discuss the latest product developments and answer product technical questions that you may have. There will be a hints/tips presentation and a review of the various public domain tools that have been developed for Data Explorer. The meeting will end with a review of some sample animations created using Data Explorer. If there are any topics that you would like to see discussed, please send a note to Ray Anderson (rayps@watson.ibm.com). Integrating Data Analysis with Virtual Environments Wednesday, 3:30 pm - 5:30 pm contact: Eric Greenwade leg@inel.gov Idaho National Engineering Laboratory Post Office Box 1625, Mail Stop 2608 Idaho Falls, Idaho 83415 (208) 526 - 1276 (208) 526 - 9936 (fax) This BoF will invoke an in depth discussion on the integration of multi-platform data analysis software and an advanced database system with virtual environment generation software. Ideally, the resulting combination would enable the various programs to respond to calls from each other allowing automation of data storage, analysis and display. A primary discipline focus prompting this juncture includes visualization of waste site characterizations and remediation using immersive environments. We would like to promote a discussion on this topic that will address such issues as strategy, potential problems and solutions, hardware/software, and implementation. Activities proposed include an open discussion and a short video presentation of work to date. An Agenda for Education in Visualization Thursday, 7:00 pm - 9:00 pm contact: Gitta Domik domik@uni-paderborn.de University of Paderborn FB 17 Warburgerstrasse 100 D-33098 Paderborn, Germany +49/5251/60-2605 +49/5251/60-3836 (fax) Education and Visualization are often focused on a narrow aspect, namely the use of visual techniques for education. Within the education community, the interest in visual and interactive techniques for teaching constantly increases. The gain for the students is rooted in increased motivation, improved intuition for complex problems, and better communication and collaboration skills. While the use of visualization for teaching is important, visualization utilizes new methods and tools that also need to be taught in order to be used correctly. The correct use of visualization is not inherent in a person, but needs to be trained similarly to the use of statistics or the design of user interfaces. This BoF will therefore focus on teaching visualization at the university level. Education in visualization will benefit professionals in areas such as the sciences, technology, business and education. TUESDAY EVENING SPECIAL SESSION Tuesday 7:00pm How to Lie and Confuse with Visualization (VizLies '94) People have lied with statistics and maps for years. Now it's time to look again into lying and confusing in the field of visualization. Your once-a-year big chance to do just that, in the open, will be in this special session on Tuesday, October 18, 1994 at 7:00 pm. You are invited to bring with you visualization lies and confusing articles, yours or others, on 35 mm slides or video. During this evening, it will be allowed to lie but not to borrow credit, so please do not forget to mention the producers' names. After the informal presentations and truthful debates, the audience will choose the biggest (visualization) lie for 1994. When the evening is over, lying will be outlawed again (for another year). Then, we will be all able to benefit from this teaching of what it takes to produce realistic and faithful visualizations. Reservations and advance submissions are now being accepted (c/o Nahum Gershon, The MITRE Corporation, 7525 Colshire Drive, McLean, VA 22102). Both are not required but are strongly recommended. For more information (genuine!), please contact gershon@mitre.org. Visualization 94 Tutorials TUTORIAL 1 Sunday 1:30-5:30 Volume Visualization Algorithms and Applications Arie E. Kaufman, State University of New York at Stony Brook William E. Lorensen, General Electric Company Roni Yagel, Ohio State University Level: Intermediate Volume visualization is a key technology for visualizing three- dimensional sampled, simulated, and synthetic datasets. This tutorial provides an overview of the nomenclature, the technology, and the techniques, with an emphasis on algorithms and applications. The course covers different approaches in surface extraction, volume viewing, volume shading, volume synthesis, and applications. Slides, videos, and live demos will demonstrate state-of-the-art techniques. TUTORIAL 2 Monday 8:30-5:30 Scientific Visualization: From Data to Photons Mike Bailey, San Diego Supercomputer Center Chuck Hansen, Los Alamos National Laboratory Lloyd Treinish, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center Todd Elvins, San Diego Supercomputer Center Level: Beginning/Intermediate This tutorial discusses the scientific visualization process from beginning to end. It will focus five key elements that are common to most scientific visualization procedures: (1) Scientific data--representation and management, (2) 2D data visualization, (3) 3D data visualization-- vector fields, (4) 3D data visualization--scalar volume visualization, and (5) Visualization display--colors and hardcopy. This course is useful to those who have not yet acquired visualization software and hardware, because it will provide a sense of what to look for and ask about. TUTORIAL 3 Tuesday 8:30-5:30 Virtual Reality for Visualization Steve Bryson, Computer Sciences Corp./NASA Ames Research Ctr. Steve Feiner, Columbia University Level: Intermediate This course surveys the theory and development of interactive visualization systems based on virtual reality interface techniques. These techniques encompass a variety of hardware and software technologies and allow natural display and control in three-dimensional interactive environments. These technologies will be surveyed with a focus on applications in scientific visualization. TUTORIAL 4 Monday 8:30-12:30 Integrating Visualization with Database Management: Concepts, Applications, and Prospects John Peter Lee, University of Massachussets at Lowell Venu Vasudevan, Motorola, Inc. Georges Grinstein, University of Massachussets at Lowell and The MITRE Corporation Level: Beginning This tutorial discusses the concepts and techniques involved in integrating database management system technology with data visualization applications, in order to improve the end- user's interface to data. In addition to the lecture material on both systems, there will be several video presentations and evaluations of a number of state-of-the-art research projects from a variety of institutions. TUTORIAL 5 Tuesday 8:30-5:30 Color Theory and Models for Computer Graphics, Visualization, and Multimedia Applications Haim Levkowitz, University of Massachussets at Lowell Level: Beginning/Intermediate What are correct usages of color? What are the most effective usages of color? How to achieve those? How to avoid pitfalls? How to present color images to color deficient viewers? How to deal with distributed environments where color resolutions, capabilities, and specifications differ from one location to another. The objective of this tutorial is to answer these questions, but even more so, provide students with the tools to answer these questions themselves. The tutorial will introduce basic color theory and will continue to address the specific needs of those who put images on computer screens. TUTORIAL 6 Tuesday 8:30-5:30 The Process of Visualizing Environmental Data Sets (Exploring geography, the oceans and the atmosphere) Theresa M. Rhyne, Martin Marietta/U.S. EPA Visualization Center Bill Hibbard, University of Wisconsin at Madison Kevin Hussey, Jet Propulsion Laboratory Lloyd Treinish, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center Level: Intermediate This tutorial explores the application of visualization tools and techniques to examining environmental sciences data sets. Highly illustrative atmospheric, oceanographic and geographic examples will be demonstrated. The process of developing effective visualization paradigms for supporting high speed networking, database management, heterogenous computing platforms, user interface design, collaborative computing and the application of animation techniques will be highlighted. TUTORIAL 7 Monday 8:30-5:30 The Khoros 2.0 Software Development and Visualization Environment Tom Sauer, Khoral Research, Inc. John Rasure, Khoral Research, Inc./University of New Mexico Level: Intermediate The purpose of the tutorial will be to teach new and existing users of Khoros about the most recent release of Khoros. The tutorial will combine overview lecture of the Khoros 2.0 technology, including its object-oriented architecture and visualization capabilities, and programming examples to provide the attendee a head start in fully utilizing Khoros 2.0. The Khoros 2.0 application development environment redefines the software engineering process to include all members of the work group; the visualization end-user, the visual language programmer, the toolbox programmer, and the infrastructure programmer. The tutorial will concentrate more on issues related to the productive creation of visualization software by the visual language and toolbox programmer. TUTORIAL 8 Monday 1:30-5:30 Visualizing Multi-Dimensional Geometry & Applications to Multi-Variate Problems Alfred Inselberg, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center K. Esbensen, SINTEF A. Chatterjee, University of Southern California Level: Beginning/Intermediate The desire to augment our 3-dimensional perception and the need to understand multi-variate problems has attracted considerable attention and motivated several visualization methodologies. Starting with a review of the field, the connection between multi-variate problems and multi- dimensional geometry will be established. Understanding the underlying geometry of a multi-variate problem provides important insights into what is possible and what is not. With this motivation, the visualization of multi-dimensional Geometry and multi-variate relations using Parallel Coordinates will be rigorously developed. Relations among N real variables are mapped uniquely into subsets of 2-space having geometrical properties enabling the visualization of the corresponding N-dimensional hypersurfaces. After the basic representation results, associated algorithms for constructions, intersections, transformations, containment queries, proximity and others will be given. The theoretical material will then be applied to a variety of application areas.
