Sorry if you receive this mail multiple times... ----- Forwarded message from Dieter Kranzlmueller <dk@gup.jku.at> ----- Announcement: Workshop@OGF19 "Visualization on the Grid" Chairmen: Thilo Kielmann, Dieter Kranzlmueller, Andre Merzky OGF19, Chapel Hill, NC, USA * Session 1: Thursday, February 1, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm, Room: Windflower http://www.ogf.org/gf/event_schedule/index.php?id=562 * Session 2: Thursday, February 1, 4:00 pm - 5:30 pm, Room: Windflower http://www.ogf.org/gf/event_schedule/index.php?id=624 Grids are offering many ways to address and solve challening scientific problem, and different functionality is provided for different applications of e-Science. However, most existing grids focus on processing scientific data, leaving the endeavor of analyzing the results and understanding the findings to the user. Improvements to the latter are expected from grid-aware or grid-enabled visualization tools, which provide sophisticated visualization capability within a grid environment. Taking the dynamic and heterogeneous characteristics of the grid into account requires new functionality from visualization tools, such as dynamically adapting the visualization pipeline to the changing environment. This workshop intends to provide an exemplary overview of todays existing approaches to grid visualization, and establishes a forum for discussing perspectives and open issues in this domain. Participants are invited to share and discuss their own experiences or lack thereof with the providers of grid visualization functionality. The goal of the workshop is to identify the next steps on the road to adopting visualization as a means of working on the grid.
