Designing your workflow IS&T Scientific Visualization Tutorial - Summer 2010

Your Project Describe your work in visual / geometric way? What is goal, e.g., web, publication, presentation? What is the time line? How much learning time can you invest? How much do you expect to use? IS&T Scientific Visualization Tutorial - Summer 2010
