A supply-chain for computer-mediated communication and visualization

Abstract

The paper specifies modular software for synchronous and asynchronous computer-mediated communication and visualization in network-distributed environments. It is new because the distribution of the visualization pipeline is not prescribed, compared to other systems, and supports time-deferred collaboration and presentation by means of recordable sessions of use. Data source is a remote program that sends and receives data via a small linked library. The system supports real-time and time-deferred collaborative visualization over distance for e- Science.
