Parameter space analysis

Abstract

How can we leverage visualization to better understand computational simulations and models? Building and understanding models with the aid of the computer is the bedrock of modern science, also known as computational science. While one of the challenges in computational science has been the sheer amount of data that becomes available, the more difficult task is often to understand the complexity of interactions between inputs and outputs of such models. Our group is working on better tools to understand these interactions better through visual tools.
