Technical and Scientific Issues
The emphasis of research investigations is placed on real systems: i.e.,
physically realizable structures and processes. Consequently, the visualization
process embraces both real (acquired) and synthetic (modeled) information
systems. These considerations lead to a number of important and challenging
issues and problems:
- How can multidimensional information fields be effectively visualized?
- How can specific information be properly extracted from these
multidimensional data sets?
- What are appropriate mechanisms for organizing, representing, and analyzing
the extracted information?
- What mathematical and computational techniques can be used to create
realistic models of the underlying geometric structures or dynamic
processes?
- How can these models be manipulated interactively?
- Can visual reasoning mechanisms be formulated computationally to facilitate
the interpretation of this information?
- How can complex visualization models, or interpretations of these models,
be communicated easily and unambiguously to someone else?
- What constitutes a good (or better) interactive visualization?
