But now buyers can bid on the chosen 3D model and offer their own price. The possibility to negotiate will attract more buyers and help designers to increase their sales.</p> <p>Please check it out - and let us know your comments, ideas and suggestions! We would love to hear what you think! :) Join a community of <a href="http://www.cgtrader.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.cgtrader.com</a> 3D model marketplace now! </p> http://www.vizworld.com/forum/topic/vizsec-2013-co-located-with-ieee-vis-2#post-131 Sun, 24 Feb 2013 00:05:20 +0000 sjengle@cs.usfca.edu 131@http://www.vizworld.com/forum/ <p>VizSec brings together researchers and practitioners in information visualization and security to address the specific needs of the cyber security community through new and insightful visualization techniques. VizSec 2013 will be held in Atlanta GA, USA on October 14, 2013 in conjunction with IEEE VIS. See the Call for Papers below for more details.</p> <p>[strong]Call for Papers[/strong]</p> <p>The 10th International Symposium on Visualization for Cyber Security (VizSec) is a forum that brings together researchers and practitioners from academia, government, and industry to address the needs of the cyber security community through new and insightful visualization and analysis techniques. VizSec will provide an excellent venue for fostering greater exchange and new collaborations on a broad range of security- and privacy-related topics. Accepted papers will appear in the ACM Digital Library as part of the ACM International Conference Proceedings Series.</p> <p>Important research problems often lie at the intersection of disparate domains. Our focus is to explore effective, scalable visual interfaces for security domains, where visualization may provide a distinct benefit, including computer forensics, reverse engineering, insider threat detection, cryptography, privacy, preventing 'user assisted' attacks, compliance management, wireless security, secure coding, and penetration testing in addition to traditional network security. Human time and attention are precious resources. We are particularly interested in visualization and interaction techniques that effectively capture human analyst insights so that further processing may be handled by machines, freeing the analyst for other tasks. For example, a malware analyst might use a visualization system to analyze a new piece of malicious software and then facilitate generating a signature for future machine processing. When appropriate, research that incorporates multiple data sources, such as network packet captures, firewall rule sets and logs, DNS logs, web server logs, and/or intrusion detection system logs, is particularly desirable.</p> <p>[strong]Technical Papers[/strong]</p> <p>Full papers offering novel contributions in security visualization are solicited. Papers may present techniques, applications, practical experience, theory, analysis, or experiments and evaluations. We encourage papers on technologies and methods that promise to improve cyber security practices, including, but not limited to:</p> <p>[ul]<li>Situational awareness / understanding</li><li>Incident handling including triage, exploration, correlation, and response</li><li>Computer forensics</li><li>Recording and reporting results of investigation</li><li>Reverse engineering and malware analysis</li><li>Multiple data source analysis</li><li>Analyzing information requirements for computer network defense</li><li>Evaluation / User testing of VizSec systems</li><li>Criteria for assessing the effectiveness of cyber security visualizations (whether from a security goal perspective or a human factors perspective)</li><li>Modeling system and network behavior</li><li>Modeling attacker and defender behavior</li><li>Studying risk and impact of cyber attacks</li><li>Predicting future attacks or targets</li><li>Security metrics and education</li><li>Software security</li><li>Mobile application security</li>[li]Social networking privacy and security<br /> [/ul]</p> <p>[strong]Posters[/strong]</p> <p>Poster submissions may showcase late-breaking results, work in progress, preliminary results, or visual representations relevant to the VizSec community. Accepted poster abstracts will be made available on this website.</p> <p>[strong]Awards[/strong]</p> <p>There will be an award for the best paper from the accepted program. The best paper award will be given to the paper judged to have the highest overall quality. A key element of the best paper selection process will be whether the results are believed to be repeatable by other scientists based on the algorithms and data provided in the paper. This award will be chosen by the program committee.</p> <p>[strong]Data[/strong]</p> <p>If you do not have real-world data to demonstrate your visualization, you may be interested in looking at the VAST 2012 Challenge data. VAST 2011 also had cyber security data if you are looking for additional data.</p> <p>[strong]Submissions[/strong]</p> <p>[em]Papers[/em]</p> <p>Papers should be at most 8 pages including the bibliography and appendices. Committee members are not required to read the appendices or any pages past the maximum. Submissions not meeting these guidelines will be rejected without consideration of their merits. Submitted papers must not substantially overlap papers that have been published or that are simultaneously submitted to a journal or a conference with proceedings. Authors of accepted papers must guarantee that their papers will be presented at the conference, preferably by themselves or by prior arrangement through a delegate.</p> <p>[em]Posters[/em]</p> <p>Poster submissions consist of an extended abstract of at most 2 pages including figures and references. Authors must present a corresponding poster during the designated poster session. Poster authors have the opportunity to give a brief oral preview during a plenary "fast forward" session.</p> <p>[em]Formatting[/em]</p> <p>The VizSec proceedings will be published by ACM. The ACM SIG Proceedings Templates provides Word and LaTeX templates. (If you are using LaTeX, please use Option 2: LaTeX2e - Tighter Alternate style.)</p> <p>Authors should apply ACM Computing Classification categories and terms. ACM invites authors to submit an image representation of their article. The image must be selected from the article body and can be any of the following: art, graphic, table, figures, etc. (Image files are to be as square as possible, 100x100 ppi and in jpg format.) Authors must supply a caption with the image. The caption length should be no more than 512 characters.</p> <p>[em]Submission[/em]</p> <p>Submit papers and poster abstracts using EasyChair: <a href="http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vizsec2013" rel="nofollow">http://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=vizsec2013</a></p> <p>[strong]Important Dates[/strong]</p> <p>[em]Papers[/em]</p> <p>July 8, 2013<br /> Submission for Papers</p> <p>August 16, 2013<br /> Author Notification for Papers</p> <p>August 30, 2013<br /> Camera Ready Submission and Copyright Forms for Papers</p> <p>October 1, 2013<br /> Papers Available in ACM Digital Library</p> <p>[em]Posters[/em]</p> <p>August 23, 2013<br /> Abstract Submission for Posters</p> <p>September 15, 2013<br /> Author Notification for Poster</p> <p>[strong]Committee[/strong]</p> <p>General Chair<br /> John Goodall, Oak Ridge National Laboratory</p> <p>Program Chairs<br /> Daniel Quist, MIT Lincoln Laboratory<br /> Kwan-Liu Ma, University of California, Davis</p> <p>Publications / Publicity Chair<br /> Sophie Engle, University of San Francisco</p> <p>Poster Chair<br /> Fabian Fischer, University of Konstanz</p> <p>[strong]Contact[/strong]</p> <p>Website<br /> [a]http://www.vizsec.org/[/a]</p> <p>Email<br /> <a href="mailto:vizsec2013@easychair.org">vizsec2013@easychair.org</a></p> <p>Google Group<br /> [a]https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/vizsec[/a] </p> http://www.vizworld.com/forum/topic/professional-rendering-software-online#post-127 Mon, 26 Nov 2012 06:33:07 +0000 cassiesong 127@http://www.vizworld.com/forum/ <p>render far is software that assists in CGI and is very helpful to create visual effects. It is widely used in film and television industry these days. Gone are the days when a filmmaker had to rely on sloppy images. Now-a-days, thanks to technology, it is possible to create very realistic images and that too within a very short span of time.

I think though, that they'd see more use if they were more relevant to a broader audience. Visualizing data is definitely important, and I find myself in a position that I have to generate some, yet because I'm not really good at math and determining proper formulas to effectively display relevant data to an audience, require some assistance with a pet project I'd like to get underway. </p> <p>That said, perhaps if the forums were geared more towards the approachable aspects of visualizing data (discussing the do's and don'ts, proper data dissemination methods or the proper data sets, and a general help desk, etc) as well as things a bit more 'high end' such as technical aspects of software and hardware (which you have, but they're really tech oriented and there are a number of similar forums closer to the actual products specifically that get more use)... In other words, the forums seem too specific and geared towards a finite set applications.
