Visual Computing in Geoscience and Reservoir Engineering
A Special Track of the 9th International Symposium on Visual Computing
(ISVC’13)
http://www.isvc.net

July 29-31, 2013, Crete, Greece

Important Dates:
Paper submissions May 10, 2013
Notification of acceptance June 10, 2013
Final camera ready paper June 28, 2013
Advance Registration June 28, 2013
ISVC’13 Symposium July 29-31, 2013

Scope:
Data handled in geoscience and reservoir engineering are highly
diversified. They are multiscale; space and time scales range from "Nano"
to "Kilo". Oil and gas field models may contain petrofacies analyzed in
nanometers to reservoir extensions described in kilometers. Time scales can
range from milliseconds in high frequency microseismic events to 3D seismic
reflection data series sampled with years in between. The data is
multimodal as it covers sources such as subsurface imaging, measurements
and simulation results. Finally, the data requires different interpolation
schemes as they vary in regularity, resolution and sampling. The data sets
can be very sparse and at different resolutions containing few measurements
such as well logs, or can be dense 3D seismic volumes. Thus, all steps of
analyzing, modeling and handling this data opens up a rich field for
applying and developing visual computing techniques.
This track seeks papers that apply visual computing (interaction techniques
and methodologies, computer vision, computer graphics, virtual reality,
real time data processing, visualization, and visual analytics) to
geoscience and reservoir engineering. We seek works that present new visual
computing techniques or improvements to existing ones that are highly
applicable to geoscience and reservoir engineering applications and
systems. Submissions should show (1) actual results using geosciencie and
reservoir engineering data sets or (2) fundamental techniques in visual
computing with clear justification and rationale to potential use in
geosciencie and reservoir engineering data sets and problems. For
system-papers, if the contribution is not strongly based on novel
techniques, we welcome studies that demonstrate that the application brings
improvement to the domain.
The symposium's proceedings will be published by Springer-Verlag in the
Lecture Notes in Computer Science (LNCS) series. Selected papers accepted
for this track will also be considered for re-publication in the Computers
and Graphics journal (ISI/SCIE indexed) after significant extensions and
revisions.
