# WOIV’22: 6th International Workshop on In Situ Visualization

- Held in conjunction with ISC 2022
- Hamburg, Germany, June 2, 2022

## 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.

Of particular interest to WOIV and its attendees are recent  
developments for in situ libraries and software. Submissions  
documenting recent additions to existing in situ software or new in  
situ platforms are highly encouraged. WOIV is an excellent place to  
connect providers of in situ solutions with potential customers.

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.

Areas of interest for WOIV include, but are not limited to:

- Techniques and paradigms for in situ visualization.
- Algorithms relevant to in situ visualization. These could include  
algorithms empowered by in situ visualization or algorithms that  
overcome limitations of in situ visualization.
- Systems and software implementing in situ visualization. These  
include both general purpose and bespoke implementations. This also  
includes updates to existing software as well as new software.
- Workflow management.
- Use of in situ visualization for application science or other  
examples of using in situ visualization.
- Performance studies of in situ systems. Comparisons between in situ  
systems or techniques or comparisons between in situ and  
alternatives (such as post hoc) are particularly encouraged.
- The impact of hardware changes on in situ visualization.
- The online visualization of experimental data.
- Reports of in situ visualization failures.
- Emerging issues with in situ visualization.

## Submissions

We accept submissions of short papers (6 to 8 pages) and full papers  
(10 to 12 pages) in Springer single column LNCS style. Please find  
LaTeX and Word templates at [https://woiv.gitlab.io/woiv22/template](https://woiv.gitlab.io/woiv22/template).

Submissions are exclusively handled via EasyChair:  
[https://woiv.gitlab.io/woiv22/submit](https://woiv.gitlab.io/woiv22/submit). 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.

All submissions will be peer-reviewed 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. The submitted versions will be made  
available to workshop participants during ISC.
