  1. Research Cycles Tamara Munzner University of British Columbia Computer Science Dept, 2366 Main Mall Vancouver BC V6T 1Z4 Canada tmm@cs.ubc.ca

  2. Research Cycles Tamara Munzner, UBC

  3. Application Domains • Application-driven research examples • computational fluid dynamics • medical imaging • telecommunications networks • software engineering Tamara Munzner, UBC

  4. Basic Research • Basic vis research examples • visual encoding • psychophysics • perception Tamara Munzner, UBC

  5. Transitional Research • Success stories so far: highly refined techniques • direct volume rendering • generating isosurfaces • marching cubes • understanding fluid flow • LIC • Focus+Context navigation Tamara Munzner, UBC

  6. Closing The Loop • Rewarding cross-cycle research • technique refinement necessary but not sufficient • design principles from basic research • evaluate whether applied problem is solved Tamara Munzner, UBC

  7. Evaluation • quantitative, qualitative, design studies • find other application areas where techniques are appropriate • understanding weaknesses to create better techniques for this problem • understanding strengths to refine principles of design Tamara Munzner, UBC

  8. Questions I • Is this characterization useful? • generic framework instantiated with specific examples • Definition of basic research • other fields than our own? • psychophysics, perception, graphics, etc • basic research in X is application problem in Y • or specific things within our own? • visual encoding – what else? Tamara Munzner, UBC

  9. Questions II • Is emphasis on cross-cycle appropriate? • would reward structure for interdisciplinary collaboration help provide driving real-world problems, or hobble by imposing artificial top-down hoops to jump through? • important to change culture, or over the top? • should everybody be doing evaluation? Tamara Munzner, UBC

  10. Questions III • If appropriate, how to implement? • funding policy • emphasizing interdisciplinary collab as criterion for vis funding reviewers • encouraging divisions outside CS to fund vis • repositories of tasks/data • paper acceptance policy Tamara Munzner, UBC
