VisLunch/Fall2009
Coming up next Friday
- Topology-based systems for data analysis and visualization
Topological techniques have become popular for the analysis of scalar
functions, for example, for automatic feature detection and
extraction. In this informal talk, I will present an overview of the
various software solutions we are developing to solve data analysis
and visualization problems. Some topological methods currently in
development at SCI utilize Reeb graphs, Morse-Smale complexes and
Jacobi sets. Some motivation and basic background for these techniques
will be presented in the talk. In particular, the main focus of the
talk will be covering the breadth of techniques that are currently
being developed here, and an overview of the state of the software
implementations.
- Speaker: Attila Gyulassy (SCI), http://idav.ucdavis.edu/~jediati/
- Where: Conference Room 3760
- When: Friday noon (08/28)
Open Discussion and Semester Planning
A common practice for VisLunch is to use some of its
sessions as a mean to let people know about the work
of the new people around: new faculties, new post docs,
new PhD. students . As there are lots of new faces
around, we hope to schedule some of these presentations
in this session.
- Summer Internships
Hurrah! It's back to school time!
PhD. Students are strongly invited to schedule a VisLunch talk (~ 30 minutes)
to present the work they accomplished during their summer internship.
This semester Julien Tierny and Attila Gyulassy will be responsible
for organizing the VisLunch sessions. Please feel free to contact them
for any question regarding VisLunch or for scheduling a talk:
Julien Tierny Attila Gyulassy Room: 4660 Phone: 585-3911 jtierny@sci.utah.edu, aggyulassy@ucdavis.edu
Information regarding the VisLunch sessions will posted on this wiki page (http://www.vistrails.org/index.php/VisLunch/Fall2009)
- IEEE VIS talks
Wow! SCI rocked once again at IEEE VIS this year! If you're the presenter
of an accepted VIS paper, please let us know and we'll schedule a session for you
so you can practice your talk.
