| 15:30-16:00 | Coffee break | ||
| 16:00-17:00 | A Rough Guide to Data Visualization – Part 1 | The talk will aim to give a broad overview of the field of data visualization, and will be in two parts. The first part will begin by looking at simple graphs and charts, familiar to all, but with guidance on fundamentals to be understood and pitfalls to be avoided. We then move on to look at visualization of physical data, often called ‘scientific visualization’, where we describe the key techniques of isosurfacing and volume rendering. | Prof. Ken Brodlie (University of Leeds) |
| 17:00-18:00 | Showcase | Live hands on demos of stereo visualization system plus other demos as appropriate | Dr. Martin Turner (University of Manchester) |
| 19:00 | Dinner | ||
| Day 2 - Thursday 8th May | |||
| Time | Topics | Summary | Presenter(s) |
| 9:00-9:30 | Arrival - Coffee Sir Denis Rooke building - ground floor | Viewing of poster display & voting | |
| 9:30-10:00 | A Rough Guide to Data Visualization – Part 2 | In the second part of the ‘Rough Guide’ we discuss visualization of tables of data, that is, tables of observations, each observation comprised of values of a number of variables (as in census data). Here we are looking for relationships amongst the variables, and we discuss scatter plots, parallel coordinates and glyph techniques. Finally we look at visualization of structured data, such as information hierarchies – examples of these being computer filestores and web pages. | Prof. Ken Brodlie (University of Leeds) |
| 10:00-10:30 | Combining the real world and abstract visualisation | Presentation | Dr. Stuart Dunn (King's College London) |
| 10:30-10:45 | Coffee Break | ||

| 10:30-11:30 | Grand challenges in visualisation in Science and Engineering | Discussion / Workshop - The purpose of this workshop is to discuss and identify the grand challenges associated with the area. The aim will be to draw out out where major effort is required to deliver either improved visualization tools, techniques, software or hardware. Also the discussion needs to address the necessary visualization training and spport that vizNET could facilitate. | Prof. Roy Kalawsky (Loughborough University) |
