WOIV'19: 4th International Workshop on In Situ Visualization Frankfurt Marriott Hotel Frankfurt, Germany, June 20, 2019 |

Submission deadline | April 19, 2019 |
Large-scale HPC simulations with their inherent I/O bottleneck have made in situ visualization an essential approach for big data analysis. The International Workshop on In Situ Visualization (WOIV) provides a venue for speakers to share and exchange practical expertise and experience with methods, workflows and applications.
For this 4th edition of the workshop, submissions are encouraged on approaches that did not deliver the anticipated results or did not live up to their expectations. Here, a focus is expected to be on first-hand reports on lessons learned, discussing potential reasons why the approach did not work out as originally intended. In general, speakers should detail if and how the application drove abstractions or other kinds of data reductions and how these interacted with the expressiveness and flexibility of the visualization for exploratory analysis.
The workshop brings together a wide-ranging audience of visualization scientists, computational scientists, and simulation developers, who are involved in the development, deployment, or maintenance of in situ visualization approaches on HPC infrastructures. The main focus of the workshop is to provide practical insights that serve as inspiration for attendees to develop, refine and avoid pitfalls in their own HPC environments. In addition, submissions are encouraged that present currently open practical challenges in big data analysis and discuss potential solution approaches.
Submission Guidelines
We accept submissions of papers with at most 12 pages (excluding references) in Springer single column LNCS style, see LaTeX and Word templates at
http://www.springer.com/computer/lncs?SGWID=0-164-6-793341-0
The review process is single or double blind, we leave it to the discretion of the authors whether they want to disclose their identity in their submissions. Submissions are exclusively handled via EasyChair:
https://easychair.org/conferences/?conf=woiv19
All submissions will undergo a peer-review process by experts in the field, and will be evaluated according to relevance to the workshop theme, technical soundness, thoroughness of success/failure comparison, and impactfulness of method/results.
Review Process
All submissions will undergo a peer-review process by experts in the field, and will be evaluated according to relevance to the workshop theme, technical soundness, thoroughness of success/failure comparison, and impactfulness of method/results. The reviewing process will proceed in two stages:
- First, authors will receive a notification for presentation of their paper at this year's WOIV'19 Workshop on In Situ Visualization.
- After submission of a workshop-ready version, the paper will undergo another review cycle, which will include notes and comments from the presentation.
Accepted papers will appear as post-conference workshop proceedings in the Springer Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Preliminary (workshop-ready) versions will be made available to workshop participants during ISC.

List of Topics
Areas of interest for WOIV include, but are not limited to:
In situ infrastructures
- Current Systems: production quality, research prototypes
- Successful and unsuccessful approaches, dead ends
- Opportunities / Gaps
Methods/algorithms/applications/Case studies
- Best practices
- Analysis: feature detection, statistical methods, temporal methods, geometric methods
- Visualization: information visualization, scientific visualization, visual analytics
- Learning-based approaches
- Data reduction / compression
- Examples/case studies of solving a specific scientific challenge with in situ methods / infrastructure.
Simulation
- Integration: data modeling, software-engineering
- Resilience: error detection, fault recovery
- Workflows for supporting complex in situ processing pipelines
System resources, hardware, and emerging architectures
- Enabling Hardware
- Hardware and architectures that provide opportunities for in situ processing, such as burst buffers, staging computations on I/O nodes, sharing cores within a node for both simulation and in situ processing
Requirements
- Preservation of important elements
- Significant reduction of the data size
- Flexibility for post-processing exploration
Program and Organizing committee
- Steffen Frey, University of Stuttgart
- Peter Messmer, NVidia
- Thomas Theussl, King Abdullah University of Science and Technology
Publication
At least one author of each paper must be registered for the workshop and present their work in order for the paper to be published in the proceedings. The proceedings will appear as post-conference workshop proceedings to give authors the flexibility to adjust their contributions based on the feedback given during the workshop. Preliminary (conference-ready) versions will be collected and made available to workshop participants during ISC.
