ColorCAT: Guided Design of Colormaps for Combined Analysis Tasks
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Colormap design is challenging because the encoding must match the requirements of data and analysis tasks as well as the perception of the target user. A number of well-known tools exist to support the design of colormaps. ...
The Use of High-Dimensional Visualizations in Explaining Hospital Pricing Patterns
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS) has made public a data set showing what hospitals charged and what Medicare paid for the one hundred most common inpatient stays. By law payments approximate a hospital's ...
A New Force Model for Controllable Breaking Waves
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
This paper presents a new method for controlling swells and breaking waves using fluid solvers. With conventional approaches that generate waves by pushing particles with oscillating planes, the resulting waves cannot be ...
Vascular Neurosurgery Simulation with Bimanual Haptic Feedback
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Virtual surgical simulators face many computational challenges: they need to provide biophysical accuracy, realistic feed-backs and high-rate responses. Better biophysical accuracy and more realistic feed-backs (be they ...
An Interactive Web-Based Geovisual Analytics Tool to Explore Water Scarcity in Niger River Basin
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Assessing the needs for adaptation and mitigation strategies to climate change and variability in Niger River Basin is a key for future development in Western Africa. There are two major challenges in terms of the assessment: ...
Brownian Dynamics Simulation on the GPU: Virtual Colloidal Suspensions
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Brownian Dynamics simulations are frequently used to describe and study the motion and aggregation of colloidal particles, in the field of soft matter and material science. In this paper, we focus on the problem of ...
Web-Based Visualization of the Global Change Assessment Model
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
The Global Change Assessment Model (GCAM) is an integrated assessment tool for exploring consequences and responses to global change. However, the current iteration of GCAM relies on NetCDF file outputs which need to be ...
VafusQ: A Visual Analytics Application with Data Quality Features to Support the Urban Planning Process
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Fast changing urban systems pose huge challenges for planners and governments. One major challenge is to provide optimized facilities systems fulfilling all the basic citizen needs such as food, education, security, and ...
Real-Time Visualization of Urban Flood Simulation Data for Non-Professionals
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Perception and understanding of risk in predictive flood simulation data is a key factor in flood risk management. However, scientific visualizations are often hard to grasp for non-professionals. We present a visualization ...
A Survey of Visualization Systems for Malware Analysis
(The Eurographics Association, 2015)
Due to the increasing threat from malicious software (malware), monitoring of vulnerable systems is becoming increasingly important. The need to log and analyze activity encompasses networks, individual computers, as well ...
