What is the Visualization Industry?


The Visualization Industry is the multi-disciplinary trade

integrating multi-media, simulation, telecommunications and

3D computing services and product suppliers. This industry

is a combination of traditional and cutting-edge services

and products that are seeking to address a growing market

demand. Visualization provides the user with real-time

interaction between data, audio-visual and other users.



What is The Visualization Industry Standards

Association(VISA)?



VISA is an international organization of business entities

and associations with a business interest in the

Visualization Industry.



What are VISA's goals?



* Standards: VISA supports "V1" Industry standards which

emphasize enhanced, immediate and cohesive growth of the

industry. V1 standards are an agreement to port or configure

existing hardware, software and communications standards on

an industry-wide basis. Standards groups include: File

formats, Hardware connections, Terminology definitions and

Communications protocols. Existing standards are deployed in

V1 as the preferred Standards Set.

WANTED: Information on software for simulating

    i) the dynamics of contacting/impacting bodies (rigid or elastic), and/or
   ii) the nearest distance between moving bodies (e.g. nearest points and
       closest distance between two convex sets).

The particular application I'm interested in is the motion simulation
of a multi-link robot, with flexible links, as it comes into contact
with objects in the environment; the software would be used to validate
existing software, which in turn is being used to support the design
of robots for the Space Station.

Even if your software has a limited capability, I would like to hear from you.
Please respond via Email (or telephone); if there is sufficient interest, I'll
compile the responses and post them later.

Subject: simulation of database system and organizational impact
Content-Length: 790
X-Lines: 19

I am considering developing a simulation of a database system that would be
accessed by users all over the US.  I am interested in developing cost
estimates for the proposed system, especially personnel costs.  The system
would have some significant, but currently unknown, personnel costs.

My first step was to do a literature search.  I initially limited the search to
such keywords as "database," "simulation," "information retrieval," etc.  I
found nothing useful.  I have talked to a couple of people who are expert at
either simulation or DBMS (but not both) - they were not surprised that I came
up empty-handed.

Do you have any references or insights that would be useful.  I have already
posted to comp.databases.

Thanks

Hi,

I have been CSIM (the process-oriented simulator from MCC)  and was wondering
if anyone had  tried to have some storage for a facility.

For example, if a real disk is simulated, one would like to keep tabs on the
storage space available on the disk (in CSIM parlance a facility).

Any clues ?

\deepak

\PS Another question I had was that for the disk the following are the problems
modelling :

    a. Service time is not independent. [ The position of the disk head
        impacts the service time.

    b. Inter arrival time is never exponential (in realistic situations).
        Does anyone have a suggestion for a better scheme of request
        generation ?

Does anyone have any thoughts about this problem ?

                   **** CALL FOR PAPER ****

    INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF COMPUTER SIMULATION

            is announcing a
             SPECIAL ISSUE
             scheduled for early 1994
                  on

           COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE SIMULATION

Since the beginning of electronic computers, computer architecture
simulation technology has been the most critical(and often invisible)
engine that moves the whole computer industry forward, generations
after generations.

Computer Architects rely on simulation tools to explore different architectural
alternatives and design tradeoffs. Computer System Vendors need to
access architecture simulation tools 9 to 12 months before the arrival of
the real processor samples, so that they can ship out system products when
the processor is generally available. Computer architecture simulation tools
are also valuable to university students and professors for their research and
instruction activities.

The purpose of this special issue is to provide a common place for reporting
the advance of the state of the art in the computer architecture
simulation technology. Specific topics of interest include, but are not
limited to:

    o.   Computer architecture  simulation techniques

         *   Efficient methods for fast architecture simulation
         *   Cycle-by-cycle-accurate architecture simulation
         *   Techniques for fast retargeting architecture simulation
         *   Efficient I/O system simulation techniques
         *   Efficient TLB/cache/memory system simulation techniques
         *   Efficient graphic system simulation techniques

    o.   Program trace collection and processing techniques

             *   Hardware-based techniques
             *   Software-based techniques
         *   Architecture support for tracing
         *   Trace reduction/compression techniques
         *   Trace selection and validation techniques.

    o.   Applications using computer architecture simulators

         *   Program execution profilers/monitors
         *   Computer system simulation
         *   Multiprocessor system simulation

    o.   Update on building projects in industry and academia.

    PRACTICAL, DISTRIBUTED AND PARALLEL SIMULATION
_____________________________________________________________

Computer simulation is being used to solve problems of
increasing size and complexity over an ever expanding range
of applications.  To meet these challenges, the simulations
are often executed on multiple processor systems ranging from
shared memory computers, to clusters of workstations, to
distributed memory multiprocessors.

Papers are sought from practioners and researchers solving
large-scale, practical simulation problems using multiple
processor systems.  Papers should stress the practical
aspects of the work, what is novel about the approach, how it
expands the application and use of simulation, and the
lessons learned from the projects.

Relevant types of simulation include, but are not limited to:

    SIMNET
    Training simulation
    Distributed Interactive Simulation

    Real time simulation
    Heterogenous computing systems
    Hardware-in-the-loop simulation

    Virtual reality
    Decision support systems

Relevant application areas include, but are not limited to:

    Communication systems
    Telecommunication systems
    Transportation systems
    Military systems
    Financial applications
    Environmental systems
    Computational biology, chemistry, and physics

Other relevant topics include synchronization methods,
scalability, programming languages, performance studies, and
visualization.
