VISC

Visualization in Scientific Computing can bring enormous leverage to bear on Scientific productivity and the potential for major scientific breakthroughs, at a level of influence comparable to that of the supercomputers themselves.

The university/industrial research and development cycle is found to be inadequate for Visualization in Scientific Computing. The programs and facilities are not in place for researchers to identify and address problems far enough in advance, even though the emerging discipline of Visualization in Scientific Computing is found to be critically important to a portion of the country's domestic and export trade threatened by foreign competition.

Users from industry, universities, medicine and government are largely unable to comprehend or influence the "fire hoses" of data, produced by contemporary sources such as supercomputers and satellites, because of inadequate Visualization in Scientific Computing tools.
