Below is a description of a February 8 workshop in Redmond, WA, titled
"Multimedia and Visualization Innovations for Science" that the DOE
Office of Scientific and Technical Information (OSTI) has been heavily
involved in organizing The workshop theme is particularly relevant to
Department of Energy scientific and technical information, as STI will
increasingly be recorded in multimedia formats, and DOE and other
federal agencies increasingly use multimedia and visualization as
integral tools for conducting and recording science. Beyond science and
R&D, it also has broad relevance to publishing, library, medical,
engineering, and education communities. At the workshop, OSTI will
launch its latest product, ScienceCinema, a tool for multimedia search
and retreival in the sciences.

why attend
Multimedia and visualization tools and technology offer tremendous
opportunity for accelerating scientific discovery. Where science was
once limited to text and two-dimensional graphs and charts for
communications purposes, multiple factors have contributed to a rise in
the use and availability of multimedia and visualization as tools to
augment and enhance more rapid uptake of science. This workshop will
feature leading-edge innovations in science-oriented web multimedia,
large-scale data exploration and visualization, speech and object
recognition, image indexing and analysis, human/computer interaction and
virtual environments, among other topics. Presentations will be made by
technology, science, and information professionals across the broad
spectrum of academia, government, business, and industry.
