= 6th High End Visualization Workshop =

http://vizworkshop.cct.lsu.edu/viz2010/

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, Austria

* Design and Concepts of Visualization Frameworks *

 This workshop's proceedings 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 visualization
and computer scientists but also from application scientists and
possible end-users telling about their visualization 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
