This year's feature:

Visualization of Non-Trivial Data Structures

With the advancement of numerical simulations beyond uniform grids, visualization methods are also challenged to cope with the more complex data structures. We intend to discuss which data structures are out there (e.g., amr, multiblock, multipatches), what visualization methods already exist, and what the highest demands and needs for yet unsolved issues are. Focus is intended to be on topological issues of complex data sets, leading to possible overlap among feature extraction, numerical algorithms and access methods to topologically non-trivial data itself.

This workshop is inter-disciplinary by nature, and as every year we also encourage contributions that are outside the focus topic.

 

General Topic Areas

	Visualization concepts for non-trivial spacetimes
	Generic data structures for visualization purposes
	Applicability of GPU's, emerging hardware like cell processors or physics cards
	Application areas, in particular interdisciplinary work with domain experts
	Numerical models on adaptive meshes or multiblocks and resulting specific demands for visualization
	Existing visualization frameworks (e.g., VTK, Amira, Chombovis) and their support for such data
	Extending commonly used visualization techniques such as isosurfaces and raycasting to cover complex data structures
	Demands and constraints on parallel rendering strategies and grid-based environments from non-regular domain decomposition, including (not limited to) workflow managements, brokering, performance-modeling etc.
	Utilizing modern rendering, display and interaction device, e.g. high-resolution, high-dynamic range, multitiled screens, for examining complex data structures
	Grid technologies and parallelization techniques

More Information

We encourage all prospective participants to sign up to the obergurgl mailing list at

https://mailserv.aei.mpg.de/mailman/listinfo/obergurgl

to receive further announcements regarding the workshop.

Daily schedule consists of talks from 9:00 - 11:30 and 17:30 - 20:30. Afternoons are free for discussions and/or meetings on the surrounding summits. A hiking trip is planned as social event, but will also depend on local weather conditions. Skiing should be possible as well on the nearby glaciers. For further questions regarding the workshop please send inquiries at
