U.S.-Italy Cooperative Research in Visual Languages

9306451张这个为期两年的奖项支持匹兹堡大学视觉计算实验室的张世国和意大利罗马大学图像与图标实验室的斯特凡诺·利维亚尔迪在视觉语言方面的美意合作研究。这项研究还将有来自萨勒诺大学和巴里大学信息科学研究所的参与者参与。本研究的目的是探讨视觉语言中人机交互的基本方法和理论。本研究将探讨可视化语言的三个主题：面向可视化界面的用户建模、面向数据库可视化访问的数据建模和可视化语言系统设计。研究团队的专业知识是相辅相成的；所有参与者都是该领域的知名人物。Chang和Levialdi在并行图像处理方面有很强的研究背景。来自Salerno和Bari的参与者在数据库、形式语言和视觉语言理论方面拥有专业知识。***

9306451 Chang This two-year award supports U.S.-Italy cooperative research in visual languages between Shi-Kuo Chang of the Visual Computing Laboratory at the university of Pittsburgh, and Stefano levialdi of the Image and Icon Laboratory at the University of Rome, Italy. The research will also involve participants from the Institutes of Information Science at the University of Salerno and the University of Bari. The objective of the resarch is to investigate the fundamental methodologies and theory in visual languages for human-computer interaction. The research will investigate three topics in visual languages: user modeling for visual interface, data modeling for visual access of databases, and visual language system design. The expertise of the research team is complementary; all participants are well-known in the field. Chang and Levialdi have strong research background in parallel image processing. The participants from Salerno and Bari have expertise in databases, formal languages, and visual language theory. * * *
