Dr. Jankun-Kelly will be giving an invited talk at the Scientific Computing and Imaging Insitute, University of Utah on September 29th. The title of the talk is "A Model and Framework for Visualization Exploration":

Visualization is the process of "making the invisible visible"---the use of computer graphics to depict digitized information. The goal of visualization is insight. However, most past research in visualization, specifically scientific visualization, has been driven by the desire to generate visualizations faster and on a larger scale. In this talk, I will instead focus on the underlying process of visualization exploration itself. I will discuss this process' salient aspects and the fundamental operation a user performs during visualization exploration. This fundamental operation forms the basis of a formal model that encapsulates the visualization process. I will discuss how this form model facilitates visualization collaboration, analysis, and the science of visualization. These applications are enabled via a software framework that implements the model.
