1999 NSF Information and Data Management Program Workshop on Data Visualization

将于1999年6月18日和19日在孟菲斯大学举行的关于数据可视化的信息和数据管理计划（IDM）研讨会的目标是将目前资助的一些pi和合作pi以及来自认知科学和人体工程学相关学科的研究人员聚集在一起，以便：1)确定在组织和可视化地呈现复杂、分布和大量数据的用户可理解的视觉显示方面取得进展的根本问题；2)指定可能出现重大突破的领域；3)确定应对当前和未来挑战所需的研究基础设施。本次研讨会旨在促进来自不同社区的IDM项目研究人员之间的交流和未来的合作，包括数据库、多媒体数据和复杂数据的集成方法，以方便人类理解。此外，研讨会提供了一个机会来检查当前的研究工作，并了解更多的成功的研究人员不仅资助了IDM计划，但从其他机构和公司。

The Information and Data Management Program (IDM) workshop on Data Visualization, to be held at the University of Memphis on June 18 and 19, 1999 has the objective to bring together some PIs and co-PIs currently funded along with researchers from related disciplines in cognitive science and ergonomics in order to: 1) Identify the problems that are fundamental in making progress towards organizing and visually presenting user-understandable visual display of complex, distributed, and massive amounts of data, 2) Specify areas where major breakthroughs appear possible,3) Identify research infrastructures needed to meet current and future challenges.This workshop aims at enabling communication and future collaboration among researchers from the different communities involved in the IDM program, including database, multi-media data, and methods for integration of complex data for easy human comprehension. Further, the workshop provides an opportunity to examine the current research efforts and to learn more about successes of the researchers funded not only the IDM program, but from other agencies and companies.
