           Workshop at OGF19 "Visualization on the Grid"
  Chairmen: Thilo Kielmann, Dieter Kranzlmueller, Andre Merzky
                 OGF19, Chapel Hill, NC, USA

* Session 1: Thursday, February 1, 2:00 pm - 3:30 pm, Room: Windflower

Grids are offering many ways to address and solve challening scientific
problem, and different functionality is provided for different applications
of e-Science. However, most existing grids focus on processing scientific
data, leaving the endeavor of analyzing the results and understanding the
findings to the user. Improvements to the latter are expected from
grid-aware or grid-enabled visualization tools, which provide sophisticated
visualization capability within a grid environment. Taking the dynamic and
heterogeneous characteristics of the grid into account requires new
functionality from visualization tools, such as dynamically adapting the
visualization pipeline to the changing environment. This workshop intends to
provide an exemplary overview of todays existing approaches to grid
visualization, and establishes a forum for discussing perspectives and open
issues in this domain. Participants are invited to share and discuss their
own experiences or lack thereof with the providers of grid visualization
functionality. The goal of the workshop is to identify the next steps on the
road to adopting visualization as a means of working on the grid.
