Multimedia and Visualisation Innovations for Science

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 communication purposes, multiple factors have contributed to a rise in the use and availability of multimedia and visualization as tools to augment 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.
