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 Full details of the event can be found in the conference flyer: http://www.viznet.ac.uk/files/viznet_flyer_viznet2009.pdf ----------------- Registration ----------------- Registration is free for all UK university postgraduates and staff, however space is limited. Please note registration closes on the 25th of October.
