COLLAVIZ

Open Source Platform for remote and collaborative multi-domain visualization and pre/post processing
ANR Project

The Collaviz project concentrates its efforts on dimensioning a platform to especially address the pre- and post-processing needs within the simulation-based design chain and providing an user-friendly and collaborative visualization.

Collaviz deals with 4 major challenges:

To provide applications designed for habits of very different communities (geophysics, fluid dynamics, structure, biochemical, drug design…),
To use mainstream technologies for the service access (low bandwidth internet access, standard hardware for visualization…),
Interactive and participative collaboration, not only remote “shared display” visualization.
Moreover, these technologies have to be accessible easily, and Collaviz will provide the proper tools to manage all the services from a user and administrator point of view, to have a full transparent access to these scalable resources: visualization clusters, grid computing, etc.

Scilab is involved in Collaviz as the main client for the visualization. Scilab is also implicated in the definition of the overall architecture and the network streams definitions and implementations.
