Special Issue - Computing and Visualization in Science

Title
Remote Visualization in Science: theory and applications

Introduction
Remote visualization proved to play a key role in several research fields and the advent of consumer devices such as smart-phones, tabletPCs and PDAs with high resolution displays and large bandwidth network connections opens new existing and challenging scenarios.
These devices enable an ubiquitous access to a potentially unlimited range of applications and the remote visualization is the essential paradigm to support effective visualization on this class of devices. Moreover, the virtualization of graphics resources (specialized video adapters) within cloud architectures is another important input to the design and implementation of efficient and flexible remote visualization algorithms.
The objective of this Special Issue is to invite high state-of-art research contributions, tutorials, and position papers that address the broad challenges of integrating remote visualization and new media technologies into everyday devices. Original papers describing completed and unpublished work not currently under review by any other journal/magazine/conference/special issue are solicited.

Topics of primary interests include, but are not limited to:
- Low latency remote visualization solutions for interactive visualization
- Remote visualization schemas for network bandwidth optimization
- Analysis of QoS and QoE in remote visualization
- Image-based techniques for remote visualization
- User centric remote visualization
- Distributed and cloud architectures supporting remote visualization
- Applications and case studies
