ISC Workshop on in situ visualization 2017
------------------------------------------

### Scope

Large-scale HPC simulations with their inherent I/O bottleneck have made
in situ visualization an essential approach for data analysis. In situ
coupling of analysis and visualization to a live simulation circumvents
writing raw data to disk for post-mortem analysis -- an approach that
already became inefficient for today’s very large simulations. Instead,
with in situ visualization, data abstracts are generated that provide a
much higher level of expressiveness per byte. Therefore, more details
can be computed and stored for later analysis, providing more insight
than traditional methods.

We encourage contributed talks on methods and workflows that have been
used for large scale parallel visualization, with a particular focus on
the in situ case. Presentations on codes that closely couple numerical
methods and visualization are particularly welcome. Speakers should
detail if and how the application drove abstractions or other kinds of
data reductions and how these interacted with the expressiveness and
flexibility of the visualization for exploratory analysis.

Presentations on codes that closely couple numerical methods and
visualization are particularly welcome. Speakers should detail
frameworks used and data reductions applied. They should also indicate
how these impacted the flexibility of the visualization for exploratory
analysis.

### Submission Instructions

We accept submissions as extended abstracts with 3 to 6 pages in the
format of "Supercomputing Frontiers and Innovations" (see
http://superfri.org/superfri/about/submissions\#authorGuidelines),
structured like the final paper. The extended abstract should clearly
specify the content that will be added for the final paper in comments
for the reviewers. The review process is not double blind; we leave it
to the latitude of the authors whether they want to disclose their
identity in their submissions.

Submissions are exclusively handled via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=woiv17

Authors of accepted abstracts will be invited to give a presentation at
this year's ISC Workshop on in situ visualization.- They will have the
chance to extend the initial submission to a full paper. Similar to last
year we are aiming at publishing the proceedings as a special issue of
"Supercomputing Frontiers and Innovations" (http://superfri.org).
