Collaborative Computational Projects - Visualisation Applications Survey

Abstract

This extended abstract presents initial outcomes from three visualisation user needs surveys, and includes an invitation for new communities to engage with follow-on surveys. Statistical and text cluster analysis have been used to assist specific computational groups; in order to select certain visualisation application packages for software development and to select which new algorithms to implement. This analysis is now also available for advising and creating recommendations to build a long term visualisation support service. The focus of these surveys and this work has been on looking at the use of software toolkits and application packages rather then surveying specific visualisation algorithm techniques.
