CSCV - Computer Supported Collaborative Visualization
نویسندگان
چکیده
Collaboration is important in visualization: major scientific discoveries are typically the work of large research teams, not the solitary scientist. These teams need visualization tools that allow the different members, perhaps at different sites, to investigate collectively the results of a simulation or experiment. Yet current visualization systems are modelled on the solo worker: any collaboration must be done by clustering around a single workstation. This paper describes work carried out at Leeds under the COVISA project. We show how the Haber and McNabb reference model of filter-map-render pipeline can be extended to a powerful model for collaborative visualization, where scientists may each construct their own pipeline, but share data and parameters. This acts then as an implementation model for a collaborative modular visualization environment. Indeed we have developed an extension to IRIS Explorer in this way, allowing two scientists to work together on a visualization.

Collaborative visualization: Definition, challenges, and research agenda
The conflux of two growing areas of technology— collaboration and visualization—into a new research direction, collaborative visualization, provides new research challenges. Technology now allows us to easily connect and collaborate with one another—in settings as diverse as over networked computers, across mobile devices, or using shared displays such as interactive walls and tabletop surfaces...
متن کاملDistributed Medical Modelling, Design Prototyping and Collaborative Visualization*
Our goal is to depart from traditional single user systems and build computer-enhanced multi-user collaborative scientific problem solving environments. These CSCW (Computer Supported Cooperative Work) environments provide support for collaboration in the problem-solving phase, as well as in the review phase. In this brief paper I shall present a client-server environment called SHASTRA that we...

متن کاملPresence in a Distributed Virtual Environment for Cooperative Visualization
With the fast development of computer networks and computer graphics technology, Collaborative Virtual Environments are becoming a feasible way to address computer-supported activities, and open the way to new forms of Computer-Supported Collaborative Work (CSCW). Collaborative Virtual Environments involve the use of a distributed architecture, and virtual reality to create a ‘shared’ sense of ...
