Poster: Supporting Climate Impact Research by a Smart View Management

Climate impact research investigates the consequences of climate change to varying systems, like ecological systems. For this purpose a lot of different models and parameter settings simulating the future development of these systems are specified and explored. Typically, desktop systems are applied which limit the number of simultaneously displayable views. On the other hand, multi-display environments allow the presentation of multiple views at the same time. In particular, Smart Meeting Rooms support different users bringing in their own personal devices and systems working in such multi-display environment. This paper discusses the use of the Vegetation Visualizer, a system supporting the visual presentation of varying attributes of climate impact models, within a Smart Meeting Room. On this example we show that the Smart View Management can be easily used as a software base to integrate different applications into a Smart Meeting Room.
