On February 9-10, 1987, an advisory panel met at NSF to represent the views of the scientific community on issues arising from graphics, image processing, and workstations. The panel consisted of representative, prominent scientists who build or use sophisticated visualization tools in the conduct of their research. As a result of that meeting, the panel now wants to generate a report defining the field of visualization and detailing its uses in the discipline sciences (e.g. biology, physics, economics). The proposal seeks to support the generation of that report. The report will consist of two pieces: a written report and a videotape. The report will define the field of Visualization in Scientific Computing, its domain, personnel, and key canonical problems. The body of the report will be written by researchers from certain discipline sciences that need advances in the underlying sciences of visualization. The videotape will present exemplary computer-generated graphics of scientific simulations. The report brings together a sampling of hard scientific problems that await advances in visualization in scientific computing, from NSF-supported researchers and other agencies of government; and , it suggest some programs, policies, and technologies to meet those needs. The investigators hope to change the way that science gets done on advanced scientific computers, with implications for scientific productivity and national competitiveness

1987年2月9日至10日，一个顾问小组在NSF开会，代表 科学界对下列问题的看法： 图形、图像处理和工作站。 小组 由具有代表性的杰出科学家组成， 使用先进的可视化工具进行他们的 research. 作为这次会议的结果，小组现在希望 生成定义所述可视化场的报告，以及 详细说明其在学科科学中的用途（例如生物学， 物理学、经济学）。 该提案旨在支持 这份报告的生成。 该报告将包括两个 件：一份书面报告和一盘录像带。 该报告将定义 科学计算中的可视化领域，它的领域， 人员和关键的规范问题。 报告正文 将由特定学科的研究人员撰写 需要可视化基础科学的进步。 录像带将展示典型的计算机生成的图形 科学模拟。 这份报告汇集了一些棘手的科学问题 等待科学计算可视化的进步， 来自NSF支持的研究人员和其他政府机构; 并提出了一些方案、政策和技术， 满足这些需求。 研究人员希望改变这种方式， 科学是在先进的科学计算机上完成的， 对科学生产力和国家 竞争力
