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.
