Collaborative Visualization: Topological Approaches to Parameter Tweaking for Informative Volume Rendering
Data crisis frequently arises in solving complex scientific/engineering problems. It has motivated us to develop a collaborative visualization environment which provides the users with the "serendipity" with the aid of effective data-centric parameter tweaking. To this end, we have proposed the concept of volume data mining (VDM), which takes full advantage of knowledge in the field of differential topology to explore the global structure and local features of a target 4D volume. The current VDM tools include critical point histogram; critical/representative isosurface and cross-section extractors; isosurface embedding locator; multi-dimensional transfer function designer with topological attributes; interval volume decomposer; optimal viewpoint locator; and critical timing finder. In this talk, we illustrate the effectiveness of the VDM tools with applications to real datasets from many disciplines.

The inexactness of simulation models of environmental system problems means that creativity, rigour, adaptiveness, transparency and participation must be key elements in their development phase. One must be open and creative in the specification of precise model objectives, the selection of model type, its simplicity and the identification/calibration/evaluation approach. Data and resources can become constraints here. Rigour is required in that one must be systematic and consistent in the model development and evaluation process, an adaptive one where iteration and refinement in modeling steps is a feature. Transparency is needed most where technical issues are complex and there is a large potential for uncertainty that is also difficult to quantify. Participation with relevant scientists and end-users helps to ensure that the modeling exercise generates adequate knowledge exchange, is open to scrutiny and enhances ownership of the final products. The presentation will amplify these considerations but will focus mainly on case experiences with modeling natural resource management problems that aimed to provide support for decision making and managers. It will draw out some of the key issues and lessons from those experiences.
