Scivis is a client-server visualization and analysis system which takes full advantage of Java (over 40K lines).
The purpose of this system is provide researchers with a customizable data analysis system to aid their research.
We provide a collaborative framework, where users can exchange data and their own personalized filters.

Scivis is a visualization server.
Simulations servers connect to Scivis with Pipes.
  • They send data to Scivis via API's that we provide.
  • These API's open up temporary connections to Scivis.
  • These servers may just read in data and pipe it to Scivis.

A filter is an action which is performed on a data set(s) to create a new data set based on this action.
We provide an infrastructure for users to create their own filters.
Filters can be created on-the-fly and can be shared among collaborators. We provide a Wizard to create filter templates.
We provide interfaces to edit/compile and build filters. There is no need to go outside of SciVis to create filters
Examples:
  • Merging of data sets by a point-and-click interface.
  • Interpolations from non-uniform mesh:uniform mesh.
  • Derivatives in Space and Time.

Since filters are user-definable, different users in a collaboration can have different filters.
If a user in a collaboration runs a filter, her/his local version of Scivis checks to see if the other collaborator(s) have this filter.
  • If they do, then we send the command of the filter.
  • If not, we use serialization to send the class file, of the filter, to Scivis.
This system will allow users to exchange new filters among the collaborators
