We are soliciting papers for the second annual VISTech workshop on Visualization, Infrastructure & Systems Technology held in conjunction with SC 14. Accepted papers will be archived. Please see submission details below. We look forward to receiving your submissions by October 7. Thanks, Kelly, Jason, Falko, Eric and Aditi VISTech2: Second Workshop on Visualization, Infrastructure & Systems Technology November 17, 2014 8:30 am – 5 pm New Orleans Convention Center New Orleans, LA https://www.tacc.utexas.edu/sc14/workshops/vistech Important Dates: Paper submission Deadline: October 7, 2014 Paper Notification Date: October 18, 2014 Final Manuscripts: October 22, 2014 Human perception is centered on the ability to process information contained in visible light, and our visual interface is a tremendously powerful data processor. Every day we are inundated with staggering amounts of digital data. In research for some computational sciences, visualization techniques are the only viable means of extracting information and developing a deep and clear understanding from data at scale. Thus, integrating our visual capacity with technological capabilities has tremendous potential for providing a transformational ability to understanding this data. In this workshop, we will explore the intersection between human perception and large-scale visual analysis through the study of visualization interfaces and interactive displays. This rich intersection includes virtual reality systems, visualization through augmented reality, large-scale visualization systems, novel visualization interfaces, high-resolution interfaces, mobile displays, and visualization display middleware. The VISTech (Visualization Infrastructure & Systems Technology) workshop will provide a forum in which experts in the large-scale visualization technology field and users can come together to discuss state-of-the art technologies for visualization infrastructures and systems. Topics of the workshop include but are not limited to: ● High-resolution displays and interfaces ● Interaction technologies ● Mobile displays ● Virtual reality systems ● Augmented reality ● Ubiquitous displays ● Visualization display middleware ● Large scale visualization systems Papers submitted to this workshop should be in the IEEE format and no longer than 4 pages plus 1 additional page for images. We encourage authors to submit YouTube video up to 3 minutes long and animations of their work.The papers should be original and not previously published. Papers will be refereed and accepted on the basis of their scientific merit and relevance to the workshop topics. Papers presented at the workshop will be archived. This workshop is held in conjunction with SC14: The International Conference on High Performance Computing, Networking, Storage and Analysis Submission URL: http://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vistech14 Paper Format Requirements: 4 pages (maximum) plus one additional page for images in the IEEE format. http://www.ieee.org/conferences_events/conferences/publishing/templates.html Contact e-mail:v<mailto:VDTworkshop@tacc.utexas.edu>istech14@easychair.org<mailto:istech14@easychair.org> Workshop Organizers: Kelly Gaither, TACC, The University of Texas at Austin Jason Leigh, Electronic Visualization Laboratory, The University of Illinois at Chicago Falko Kuester, CalIT2, University of California, San Diego Eric A.
