Multi-resolution Tools for Exploring Large Data Sets

2:00 PM-4:00 PM
Potomac

Multi-resolution simulation methods are used to allocate computational samples in ways that adapt to varying needs across the region of interest. The idea that similar methods can be used during the analysis process is attractive, particularly since hardware available for analysis is typically more modest. However, the factors determining the required resolution are quite different. The limited field of view and finite resolution of display devices constrain what can be seen. Interaction with a large data set causes these display constraints to vary dynamically. The speakers will present current research in multi-resolution methods for data exploration.
