SUMMARY:UT Austin Portugal Applied Visualization Workshop
DESCRIPTION:The UT Austin Portugal Program invites you to spend two days in Braga and participate in the Applied Visualization Workshop to get to learn from the experts about some of the latest topics and trends in data visualization. \n  \nThe major aim of Scientific Visualization (SciViz) and Information Visualization (InfoViz) is to facilitate analysis\, discovery and communication of knowledge from large volumes of multidimensional data. This is achieved by generating pictorial representations of the data\, which enable domain experts to understand and gather insight into this data. \nAs the volume of available data keeps increasing\, the benefits of visualization become more and more relevant for researchers from the most diverse domains of knowledge. \nThe goal of this 2-half day workshop is:\ni) to raise awareness among Portuguese researchers about the advantages of Sci and Info Visualization;\nii) to demonstrate current techniques and the state of the art for visualizing different kinds of data sets. \nVisLab was recently setup at the IB-S building\, at the University of Minho\, including a 4×3 100M pixels display wall for remote visualization and local rendering\, as well as devices for virtual interaction with the data. The workshop will also allow introducing these facilities to researchers as potential users. \nThe workshop will begin on June 7 (afternoon). The 2nd day will be dedicated to SAGE-2\, the software used to manage the above-mentioned display wall. \n  \nPlease\, note that the session on June 7 is independent of the session on June 8. If you wish to register for both sessions\, you should indicate it in the registration form. \n  \nTarget Audience\nThis workshop targets 2 different audience profiles: \n1) On the first day\, the workshop will be particularly aimed at researchers from the most diverse fields of knowledge whose work requires handling large volumes of data (either collected or generated by computer simulations). The goal is to demonstrate the advantages of using visualization techniques to develop insight about these huge data volumes; \n2) The second and last day\, June 8\, will be more technical\, addressing how to configure\, operationalize and maintain large visualization devices. The audience includes visualization researchers and IT engineers willing to maintain such facilities\, both for their own use or to make them available to the wider research community. \n  \nProgram \n(Host: Luís Paulo Santos\, School of Engineering\, University of Minho) \nJune 7\n14h00\nRegistration \n14h30 – 15h30\n“Recent Advances in Queuing Ray Tracing for Simulation and In Situ Analysis”\nPaul Navrátil\, Texas Advanced Computing Centre\, The University of Texas at Austin\, TX\, USA \n15h30 – 16h30\n“Visualization of Molecular Data – Current Methods and Future Challenges”\nJan ByŠKa\, VisGroup\, University of Bergen\, Bergen\, Norway \n16h30 – 17h30\n“Urban Traffic Visualization”\nCarla Silva\, Faculty of Sciences\, University of Porto\, Porto\, Portugal \n17h30 – 18h00\nCoffee Break & Networking \nJune 8 \n08h30\nRegistration \n09h00 – 09h15\nOpening Speech: “Advanced Computing Portugal 2030”\nNuno Feixa Rodrigues\, Member of FCT’s Board of Directors and Coordinating Professor at the School of Technology of the Polytechnic Institute of Cávado and Ave\n \n09h15 – 12h30\n“SAGE2 Training Workshop – Immersive Visualization with Scalable Resolution Shared Displays (SRSD)”\nJason Haga\, Cyber-physical Cloud Research Group\, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology\, Tokyo\, Japan \n\n  \n\nRegistration is now closed.\n  \nThis event is organized by the UT Austin Portugal Program and the Area of Advanced Computing with the support of IB-S\, Institute of Science and Innovation for Bio-Sustainability\, and the School of Engineering of the University of Minho. \nFor additional queries and information\, contact us at events@utaustinportugal.org
