<p style="margin:0cm;margin-bottom:.0001pt"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">Many visualization software packages and toolkits have been developed over the years providing direct access to a multitude of different visualization
approaches. However, applying those directly to an application domain can still be challenging, as these toolkits often require considerable expertise in the visualization domain. Also, many of these packages may still be in a prototype state and thus not
fully ready for a production environment. This special session of VDA 2021 (Visualization and Data Analysis,
<a href="https://www.imaging.org/site/IST/IST/Conferences/EI/EI_2021/Conference/C_VDA.aspx">
https://www.imaging.org/site/IST/IST/Conferences/EI/EI_2021/Conference/C_VDA.aspx</a>) is designed to discuss the needs for applicability in different application domains. Specifically, discrepancies between visualization tools and these needs from an application
domain perspective will be explored. This session will build on previous workshops, such as the NII Shonan Meeting 145 (</span><a href="https://shonan.nii.ac.jp/seminars/145/"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:#1155CC">https://shonan.nii.ac.jp/seminars/145/</span></a><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif;color:black">),
