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.

I tried flash for a month or so but it too 20 clicks to do something you could do in 5 in after effects. I found the language of the program so iterating. There is no "canvas", anyway I think they fixed the animation issues in the last version to be more like after effects.</p> <p>Digital Fusion uses nodes I tried it for a while but went back to after effects. It seemed like a better way of doing things but I have not used it that much. I would like to use it more. At the time it was better than After effects as you could work in 3D space. After effects has caught up a little as it moves flat plains in 3D space not 3D objects. I think they added nodes too. I really should brush up on this stuff before commenting bit i noticed Digital Fusion was not on your list and should be. </p> http://www.vizworld.com/forum/topic/call-for-chapter-proposals-deadline-extended-to-21st-january#post-55 Fri, 08 Jan 2010 10:42:57 +0000 joanna.m.leng 55@http://www.vizworld.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=763" rel="nofollow">http://www.igi-global.com/requests/details.asp?ID=763</a></p> <p>We are pleased to invite you to submit your proposals for the contribution of chapters to the “Handbook of Research on Computational Science and Engineering: Theory and Practice”.

This is a short call suggesting some possible topics. You are, however, not limited to these topics. Please feel free to propose any topics that you think are critical issues in the theme. A full call is at <a href="http://www.cse-book.com/call/index.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.cse-book.com/call/index.html</a> </p> <p>--------------- RECOMMENDED TOPICS:<br /> Contributions are invited from experts in CSE who have specialist knowledge of numerical methods, hpc, visualization, developing/using domain specific applications, project management, policy making, security, education and the sociological issues to do with its adoption, organisation, collaboration, and cross-disciplinary nature.</p> <p>Topics may include, but are not limited to, the following:<br /> -- Hardware trends: trends in computer architecture, trends in chip architecture, chip architecture and the suitability for particular problem types, IO trends and the affect on the IO bottleneck, optimisation of architecture for particular problem types</p> <p> -- Numerical methods: the use and development of numerical methods for particular applications, optimisation for interactivity (levels of detail), evaluation of numerically based software, porting numerical software</p> <p> -- Programming paradigms: new languages, changing demands for languages</p> <p> -- Visualization: review the state of the art of well known application areas, new applications to visualization, design and development, user assessment, collaborative environments, computational steering, visualization in interactive physics (simulation as a part of virtual reality and games)</p> <p> -- Software development tools and practices: review of the tools available for parallel code development and optimisation (challenges and open-source options) , review of CASE tools for serial code development (challenges and open-source options), “best practice,” the importance of standards and accreditation</p> <p> -- Case studies: state of the art applications, new applications to CSE, moving from serial to parallel, evaluation including comparing real results to computational results, computation in design, prototype engineering, the use of visualization, the use of collaborative working environments, eScience (CSE delivered through the GRID and/or Web)</p> <p> -- Organisational and sociological issues: security (both computer and socially), multi-disciplinary and/or international practices in collaborative code development , multi-disciplinary and/or international issues in the evaluation of results and allocation of success to each party, exploration of the sociological factors affecting multi-disciplinary collaboration, technology transfer of the CSE method, technology transfer of computational (numerical) methods across disciplines that use CSE, technology transfer of visualization across disciplines that use CSE, opportunities for training and skill development</p> <p>The book is directed at both the academic and non-academic audience including researchers, users, organisations, policy initiators, students and practitioners in the field, meaning that chapters should address advanced issues, but should attempt to do this in a manner accessible to non-specialists.</p> <p>--------------- SUBMISSION PROCEDURE:<br /> Researchers and practitioners are invited to submit on or before January 7, 2010, a 2-3 page chapter proposal clearly explaining the mission and concerns of the proposed chapter. Submissions will be received through the web site <a href="http://www.cse-book.com/" rel="nofollow">http://www.cse-book.com/</a> . Authors of accepted proposals will be notified by February 7, 2010 and sent chapter guidelines. Full chapters are expected to be submitted by August 15, 2010. All submitted chapters will be reviewed on a double-blind review basis.

XLCubed.com just had one and the results are interesting. I don't know of anyone else hositng such an event.</p> <p>One suggestion, rather than allowing people to use any data they want, perhaps it'd be more interesting to provide a common data set to everyone and see how they visualize it in a dashboard.</p> <p>Thanks, love the magazine.</p> <p>John C.

Are the other tools listed command line friendly and available on Unix? (Implicit comment: a VizWorld writeup summarizing the tools would be very useful.) </p>
