KCSE and Visualization• KCSE represents researchers at KTH in Computational
Science and Engineering.Things in common:
- Large scale computer simulations- Large amount of data - Scientific visualization usually not sophisticated, desktops
• Large potential gains from a visualization effort• Goals:
- Advanced scientific visualization used systematically by CSE researchers at KTH
- New ways to analyze and understand results of computer simulations.
- Enable new discoveries?
• Connections on the research side (e.g. ray tracing for other scientific problems)
• KCSE a natural partner in VIC.
