* vtDV3D is a Vistrails package of high-level modules for UV-CDAT developed by Thomas P. Maxwell (NASA). It provides user-friendly workflow interfaces for advanced visualization and analysis of climate data at a level appropriate for scientists. This project is motivated by the observation that climate scientists can greatly benefit from advanced visualization methods, but they rarely use these tools because the existing interfaces are too complex. vtDV3D‘s simple GUI interface is designed to be readily used by busy scientists who have little time to invest in learning complex new frameworks. The application builds on VTK, an open-source, object-oriented library, for visualization and analysis. | * vtDV3D is a Vistrails package of high-level modules for UV-CDAT developed by Thomas P.

News
- Check out the new Software for Assisted Habitat Modeling (SAHM) package for VisTrails at http://www.mesc.usgs.gov/products/software/sahm/. SAHM was developed by Jeff Morrisette's group at the USGS. Colin Talbert is responsible for much of the code including the VisTrails wrapping. The package expedites habitat modeling and help maintain a record of the various input data, pre- and post- processing steps, and modeling options incorporated in the construction of a species distribution model.
- A tutorial about the SAHM Package for VisTrails is now available. Check out the new tutorial for the Software for Assisted Habitat Modeling (SAHM) package in VisTrails, by N. Young.
- Thomas Maxwell (NASA) has demoed his UV-CDAT package, vtDV3D at SC11. UV-CDAT is a new system for climate data analysis that combines VisTrails, CDAT and ParaView.
- vtDV3D supports advanced (VTK-based) visualization and (CDAT-based) analysis of climate data.
- Documentation is available at http://portal.nccs.nasa.gov/DV3D.
- The Opal plugin for VisTrails has been released. For more information see the NBCR Public Wiki: https://www.nbcr.net/pub/wiki/index.php?title=VisTrails
- ALPS 2.0 has been released and is now fully integrated with VisTrails. For details see the ALPS Web page.
- A description of the ALPS 2.0 system is now available at http://arxiv.org/abs/1101.2646. This is an example of an executable paper, whose results can be reproduced and verified. Check out this video which shows how we create and modify executable papers using VisTrails: http://www.vistrails.org/images/executable_paper_latex.mov
- LifeMapper clients for VisTrails have been released. See http://biodiversity.ku.edu/blog/lab-notes/lifemapper-vistrails-better-science for details.
