[hpc-announce] call for submissions for SC14 Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase

[Hank Childs]

SC14 Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase
New Orleans, Louisiana, USA
November 16th-21st 2014

Call for Submissions (movies and short papers):

We seek submissions for the SC14 Visualization and Data Analytics
Showcase, which
provides a forum for the year's most instrumental movies in HPC.  This year
has a new format: six finalists will compete for the Best Visualization
Award, and each finalist will present his or her movie during a dedicated
session at SC14 in a 15-minute presentation. Their movies will be judged
based on how their movie illuminates science, by the quality of the movie,
and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie.

*The accepted submissions will appear as short papers on the SC14 Webpage
and archive.*

*Review and selection process:*

Submissions should include a movie (up to 250MB in size) and a short paper
(up to 4 pages including references).  The short paper should describe the
scientific story conveyed by the movie, how the visualization helps
scientific discovery, and the "state-of-the-practice" information behind
making the movie.

Each submission will be peer reviewed by the Visualization and Data
Analytics Showcase Committee. Criteria for revision include:

(i) Compelling visualization
(ii) Visualizing data involving HPC in a significant way (whether through
simulation or data analytics)
(iii) Meaningful and compelling science story
(iv) Description of visualization techniques necessary to accomplish the
movie

Finally, submissions will hopefully support SC14's overall theme "HPC
matters."
