The Advanced Visualization Communication Toolkit Homepage.The applications that are being proposed for NGI type networks will require seamless collaborative access to data and will require the ability to visualize data remotely where the data must travel across a high-speed wide-area network to reach the user. The inherent networking component of these applications introduces a new set of problems that have not been adequately addressed in the past. These new distributed visualization applications will require a closer coupling between the visualization and the underlying networking infrastrucutre.
The data visualization communication toolkit will allow visualization applications to have direct access to network status information and to directly control communication protocol and network behavior. Visualization applications will be able to adapt to a changing networking infrastructure and provide real-time feedback to the user regarding the state of the network. The toolkit will also provide options for the visualization software to modify its behavior to reflect the current networking conditions. These capabilities will also allow there to be multiple sites with different network characteristics collaborating and viewing the data simultaneously.
We believe the data visualization communication toolkit is the first step in addressing the issues regarding distributed visualization over a wide-area network. The toolkit will be developed so that it can be incorporated into the NGI applications and its functionality will be extensible to allow integration of new networking technologies as they are developed.
