Special Project: Building Relationships with Asis to Foster Research Exchanges and Student Training in Scientific Datea Visualization and Modeling

特别项目：建立与亚洲的关系，促进科学数据建模、分析和可视化方面的研究交流和学生培训摘要本项目旨在建立和加强与亚洲科学家的关系，促进科学数据建模、分析和可视化方面的研究交流和学生培训。这是通过访问亚洲来实现的：1)与已经建立的研究合作者进行集中的研究研讨会；2)一系列讲座，以促进数据建模，分析和可视化的主题，以寻找新的合作者和学生交流；3)研讨会，探讨在亚洲举办联合主办的东西方数据建模，分析和可视化会议。从极其庞大和复杂的数据集中分析、理解和提取知识是一个机会，对整个社会都有巨大的好处。最近，我们看到了大量针对数据可视化的研究，但现在是时候强调数据分析了。过去使用的数据分析技术不能适用于今天庞大而复杂的数据集。世界范围内的合作、交流和学生培训增加了在这一重要科学研究领域取得进展的机会。

Special Project: Building Relationships with Asia to Foster Research Exchanges and Student Training in Scientific Data Visualization and ModelingAbstractThe purpose of this project is to build and strengthen relationships with scientists in Asia to foster research exchanges and student training in scientific data modeling, analysis and visualization. This is accomplished by visits to Asia which will allow for 1) concentrated research seminars with already established research collaborators, 2) a series of lectures to promote the topics of data modeling, analysis and visualization in search of new collaborators and student exchanges and 3) workshops to explore the organization of a jointly sponsored east/west conference on data modeling, analysis and visualization to be held in Asia. The analyses, understanding and extraction of knowledge from extremely large and complex data sets is an opportunity with tremendous benefits for all of society. The recent past has seen a good deal of research targeted towards data visualization, but now it is time to emphasize the analysis of data. The techniques of analyzing data used in the past do not scale to the tremendously large and complex data sets of today. World wide collaborations, exchanges and student training enhance the chances for progress in this important area of scientific research.
