vizNET'09, Loughborough University, 29th-30th October.

The 3rd Interdisciplinary Conference on Intersections of Visualization
Practices and Techniques

----------------
Description
----------------

vizNET 2009 is annual conference designed to help researchers and
postgraduates within UK academia utilise new visualization techniques
and software to improve their own analysis and research. The two day
workshop aims to introduce leading visualization techniques and
improve understanding about state of the art developments for both
novice and more experienced users.

visualization is an important tool for communicating and analysing
complex information in many disciplines. Advances in numerical
simulations and imaging techniques have provided scientists with a new
wealth of detail into the natural world, but also new challenges in
visualization analysis. This year the conference will have a special
focus on applied science and engineering disciplines, specifically
targeting large data set problems that are often encountered within
these fields.

The two day conference aims to introduce leading visualization
techniques and improve understanding about state of the art
developments for both novice and more experienced users.

This year the conference will cover a range of topics including:
*  Intersections in visualizations practice
*  Modelling and Simulation
*  A rough guide to data visualization
*  High-Performance visualization using Cloud-Computing
*  Distributed visualization and the Grid
*  GPU-based visualization and computing techniques and their application
*  Giga-Pixel display walls and applications.
*  visualization frameworks including VTK / Paraview, Visit, and AVS
*  Live high-performance visualization demonstrations and showcases

Organisation
------------------

vizNET is a collaboration between a number of visualization centres in
the UK that has been established to share knowledge, communicate best
practice between application domains, provide training and support to
researchers in visualization.
The visualization support network spans across the UK academic
research community including centres at Loughborough University,
University of Leeds, Manchester University, Cardiff University, the
Science & Technologies Facilities Council and King's College London

vizNET is funded by the JISC Support of Research Committee.
