# Call for Participation

## ISC Workshop On In Situ Visualization 2020

### Scope

Large-scale HPC simulations with their inherent I/O bottleneck have made in situ  
visualization an essential approach for data analysis, although the idea of  
in situ visualization dates back to the golden era of coprocessing in the 1990s.  
In situ coupling of analysis and visualization to a live simulation circumvents  
writing raw data to disk for post-mortem analysis – an approach that is already  
inefficient for today’s very large simulation codes. Instead, with in situ  
visualization, data abstracts are generated that provide a much higher level of  
expressiveness per byte. Therefore, more details can be computed and stored for  
later analysis, providing more insight than traditional methods.

We encourage contributed talks on methods and workflows that have been used for  
large-scale parallel visualization, with a particular focus on the in situ case.  
Presentations on codes that closely couple numerical methods and visualization  
are particularly welcome. Speakers should detail if and how the application  
drove abstractions or other kinds of data reductions and how these interacted  
with the expressiveness and flexibility of the visualization for exploratory  
analysis. Presentations on codes that closely couple numerical methods and  
visualization are particularly welcome. Speakers should detail frameworks used  
and data reductions applied. They should also indicate how these impacted  
the flexibility of the visualization for exploratory analysis.

For the submissions we are not only looking for success stories, but are also  
particularly interested in those experiments that started with a certain goal  
or idea in mind, but later got shattered by reality or insufficient  
hardware/software.

### Submission Instructions

We accept submissions of papers with at most 12 pages (excluding references)  
in Springer single column LNCS style, see LaTeX and Word templates at  
[http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0](http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0)

The review process is single or double blind, we leave it to the discretion of  
the authors whether they want to disclose their identity in their submissions.  
Submissions are exclusively handled via EasyChair:  
[https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=woiv20](https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=woiv20)

All submissions will undergo a peer-review process by experts in the field,  
and will be evaluated according to relevance to the workshop theme, technical  
soundness, thoroughness of success/failure comparison, and impactfulness of  
method/results. Accepted papers will appear as post-conference workshop  
proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series.  
Preliminary (workshop-ready) versions will be made available to workshop  
participants during ISC.
