This year, there will be both a live display throughout the conference so that attendees can experience and enjoy the latest in science and engineering HPC results expressed through state-of-the-art visualization technologies, and a session at SC16 dedicated to the best of the submissions.</p><p class="">Selected entries will be displayed live in a museum/art gallery format and six finalists will compete for the Best Visualization Award, with each finalist presenting his or her movie in a 15-minute presentation.</p><p class="">Movies are judged based on how their movie illuminates science, by the quality of the movie, and for innovations in the process used for creating the movie.</p><p class="">The six finalist submissions will appear as short papers on the SC16 webpage and archive. </p><p class=""><strong class="">Review and selection process:</strong></p><p class="">Submissions need to include a movie (up to 250MB in size) and a short paper (up to 4 pages including references). The short paper should describe the scientific story conveyed by the movie, how the visualization helps scientific discovery, and the “state-of-the-practice” information (<a href="http://ieeevis.org/" target="_blank" class="">ieeevis.org</a>)information behind making the movie.</p><p class="">Each submission will be peer reviewed by the Visualization and Data Analytics Showcase Committee. Criteria for review include:</p><ul class=""><li class="">How effective is the visual communication of the data?</li><li class="">How relevant to the HPC community is the visualization?</li><li class="">What is the impact of the science story and how well is it told?</li><li class="">What visualization techniques were necessary to create the movie?</li></ul><p class="">Finally, submissions should support SC16’s overall theme “HPC matters.”</p><div class=""><a href="http://sc16.supercomputing.org/submitters/showcases/scientific-visualization-showcase/" class="">http://sc16.supercomputing.org/submitters/showcases/scientific-visualization-showcase/</a></div><p class=""><strong class="">Web Submissions:</strong> <a href="https://submissions.supercomputing.org/" target="_blank" class="">https://submissions.supercomputing.org/</a></p><p class=""><strong class="">Email Contact:</strong> <a href="mailto:vis_showcase@info.supercomputing.org" class="">vis_showcase@info.supercomputing.org</a></p><p class=""><span class="" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">SC16 Visualization Showcase Chair</span><br class="">Chris Johnson, University of Utah</p><p class=""><span class="" style="color: rgb(255, 0, 0);">SC16 Visualization Showcase Vice Chair</span><br class="">Kristin Potter, University of Oregon</p></div></div></body></html>
