Enabling Science Discoveries Through Visual
Exploration
To make your flight arrangements, send e-mail with your preferred travel information to: UTAustin@carlsonwagonlit.com Please refer to the meeting, “The Future of Data Analysis and Visualization as a Knowledge Discovery Tool in Science and Engineering" to be held in Washington D.C. on September 27-28, 2007.
Your flights will be direct-billed to TACC, therefore you will have no out of pocket airfare. In addition, we have set up direct billing at the hotel for your room and associated taxes. You are responsible for any incidental expenses associated with your hotel stay.
Should you have any questions regarding travel arrangements you may contact Janet M. McCord or Janie Bushn at: 512-475-9411
The field of scientific visualization is widely recognized as having been debuted in 1987 with the publication of the National Science Foundation Report, Visualization in Scientific Computing.
The conference will be held at the National Science Foundation to ensure that researchers as well as program officers get the opportunity to exchange ideas and information relevant to this topic.

If you plan to us your laptop during the workshop, it will need to be screened before it is connected to the NSF LAN. A new automated laptop screening process is now available which you can utilize by connecting to NSF's External Network in the conference room before the meeting starts. Please see the attached file with instructions. It is suggested that you accomplish this automated screening process as soon as you enter the room so the meeting can begin in a timely manner. However, if you want wireless connection, you will have to take your laptop to IT Help Central in Room 357 when you arrive at NSF. More Information On Laptop Screening
The objective of this first workshop is to engage the critical consumer stakeholders that rely upon visualization as a part of the critical thinking and problem solving process and gain a clear picture of the needs, challenges, and gaps in current visualization.
