Workshop on Approaches to the Analysis and Visualization of Massive Data Sets; San Diego, California

DMS 9705599海量数据集的分析和可视化方法David Rocke总结海量数据集的分析和可视化是一个重要的问题，直到最近才变得重要起来。我们现在有能力从卫星图像和人类基因组计划等不同领域产生大量数据。计算机硬件已经发展到可以存储从数百GB到TB的数据集，并可以从其中检索数据的地步，但分析和可视化的挑战才刚刚开始。这次研讨会将汇集在天体物理、环境科学、地球物理和其他领域产生大量数据集的科学家和来自广泛背景的数学科学家，他们可以开发出解决这些问题的方法。受邀者将包括统计学、统计计算、统计图形学、平滑和组合优化、计算几何、数据库和可视化以及天体物理、地球物理和环境科学方面的专家。这次研讨会的成果不仅包括一系列文件，还包括一份白皮书，其中提出了解决这些重要和突出问题的议程。

DMS 9705599 Approaches to the Analysis and Visualization of Massive Data Sets David Rocke Summary Analysis and visualization of massive data sets is an important problem which has only recently become relevant. We now have the ability to generate massive amounts of data from areas as diverse as satellite imagery and the human genome project. Computer hardware has progressed to the point where data sets of a scale from hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes can be stored, and data can be retrieved from them, but the challenge of analysis and visualization has only just begun to be met. This workshop will bring together scientists who generate massive data sets in astrophysics, environmental science, geophysics, and other areas and mathematical scientists from a broad array of backgrounds who can develop methods to attack these problems. The invitees will include specialists in statistics, statistical computing, statistical graphics, smooth and combinatorial optimization, computational geometry, databases, and visualization, as well as astrophysics, geophysics, and environmental science. The product of this workshop will include not just a collection of papers but also a white paper presenting an agenda for attacking these important and salient problems.
