SC14 Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase

SC14 Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase

New Orleans, Louisiana, USA

November 16th-21st 2014

Submission date: August 15, 2014 [NEW]

----------

Call for Submissions (movies and short papers):

We seek submissions for the SC14 Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase, which provides a forum for the year's most instrumental movies in HPC.  This year has a new format: six finalists will compete for the Best Visualization Award, and each finalist will present his or her movie during a dedicated session at SC14 in a 15-minute presentation. Their movies will be judged based on how their movie illuminates science, by the quality of the movie, and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie.

The accepted submissions will appear as short papers on the SC14 Webpage and archive.

Review and selection process:

Submissions should include a movie (up to 250MB in size) and a short paper (up to 4 pages including references).  The short paper should describe the scientific story conveyed by the movie, how the visualization helps scientific discovery, and the "state-of-the-practice" information behind making the movie.

Each submission will be peer reviewed by the Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase Committee. Criteria for revision include:

(i) Compelling visualization
(ii) Visualizing data involving HPC in a significant way (whether through simulation or data analytics)
(iii) Meaningful and compelling science story
(iv) Description of visualization techniques necessary to accomplish the movie

Finally, submissions will hopefully support SC14's overall theme "HPC matters."
