NEW: Workshop Report Now Available Here
Wednesday 02 - Thursday 03 April 2008
Visual analytics applications are characterised by massive quantities of data, often generated in real-time. With modern computer technology it is often now feasible to store the raw data associated with these applications, but the scale of data involved means it is impossible for people to comprehend its meaning using traditional approaches.
Advances in computer hardware allow tiled "display walls", containing many millions of pixels, to be constructed from commodity components and driven by an application that runs on a single machine. These ultra-high resolution ("giga-pixel") displays allow a huge quantity of data to be viewed at the glance of an eye and, used in conjunction with statistical and other data mining techniques, are likely to be an essential element for bringing human-in-the-loop decision making to the process of visual analytics.
The goal of this workshop is to bring together researchers in visualization and human-computer interaction, to determine how giga-pixel displays can best be exploited in visual analytics. The workshop includes:
- Keynote talks from researchers who are well known for their work in innovative visualization methods (Prof Daniel Keim, University of Konstanz) and display wall interaction (Dr Chris North, Virginia Tech)
- Case studies, which attendees will work on in groups to develop solutions for real applications.
- Posters to publicise attendees' research in displays walls and visual analytics.
- Application demonstrations on Leeds' 50-million pixel display wall. Workshop dinner.
Attendance is limited to 50 people. Researchers at any level, and from both academia and industry, are welcome.
The workshop takes place in Leeds, in northern England. Leeds is one of the largest universities in the UK, and celebrated its centenary in 2004. The School of Computing is internationally recognised for its research in theoretical computer science, artificial intelligence and areas of applied computing that include interactive visualization. The workshop is organised by the Visualization and Virtual Reality research group at Leeds, and part sponsored by VizNET.
