why attend
Multimedia
and visualization tools and technology offer tremendous opportunity for
accelerating scientific discovery. Where science was once limited to text
and two-dimensional graphs and charts for communications purposes, multiple
factors have contributed to a rise in the use and availability of multimedia
and visualization as tools to augment and enhance more rapid uptake of science.
This workshop will feature leading-edge innovations in science-oriented
web multimedia, large-scale data exploration and visualization, speech and
object recognition, image indexing and analysis, human/computer interaction and
virtual environments, among other topics. Presentations will be made by
technology, science, and information professionals across the broad spectrum of
academia, government, business, and industry.
