VISUALIZATION '97
BIRDS-OF-A-FEATHER-SESSIONS
Visualization '97 Birds of a Feather (BOF) sessions are held on
Thursday evening, along with two special sessions held in conjunction
with the Information Visualization Symposium on Monday and Tuesday
evenings. These sessions provide participants the opportunity to
discuss current topics with others. BOF sessions are open to all Vis
'97 attendees. If you wish to lead a BOF, please contact Ed Swan
(swan@acm.org). When you arrive at Vis '97,
be sure to check the sign-up board for additional BOFs.

IBM Visualization Data Explorer users or anyone who is interested in learning
more about IBM Visualization Data Explorer should plan on attending our Birds
of a Feather session. We will have a guest speaker, who will discuss
development of visual analysis applications with IBM Visualization Data
Explorer. We will discuss the application of IBM Visualization Data Explorer in
fields such as weather visualization, computational fluid dynamics, medical
imaging, business informatics, Geo-spatial analysis, web-based visual analysis
and many others. Key members of the development team will present what is new
with version 3.1.4 of IBM Visualization Data Explorer and what the future might
hold for IBM Visualization Data Explorer users. An open panel discussion will
allow everyone to get involved in the discussion. Refreshments will be
provided. Come learn more about today's fastest growing visual analysis
software, IBM Visualization Data Explorer!
Visualizing Large Data

Scientific data is being generated at a pace much faster than our ability to
manage and process it. Various efforts have been made by researchers at
government agencies, national laboratories, universities, and industry to
close this gap. One approach at managing the information contained
within this data is to convert it to visual forms that are more economical to
store and more intuitive to comprehend.
To accelerate the development of data management and visualization, closer
cooperation between individual researchers is needed to encourage exchange
of ideas, sharing, and collaboration. Out of this need, the idea of a new
forum, "vis-large", was born (http://www.icase.edu/~kma/vis-large).
The goal of this BOF meeting is to determine if there is enough interest and
enthusiasm for a separate workshop or symposium devoted to the topic of visualizing
large data. At the same time, participants will be encouraged to report on their
current research activities in visualizing large data.
