Hello iVAC Partners
Attached is the latest edition of the Integrated Visualization and Analytics Community (iVAC) Newsletter. The DHS Visualization and Analytics Program (VAPr) believes that regular communication is one of the most effective ways to enable our Data and Visual Analytics enterprise to flourish.
The iVAC Newsletter is envisioned as a coordinating function for the various activities coming out of or related to the VAPr program, international university partners and other government agencies. The thought is to present and share knowledge of these initiatives, accomplishments in various areas (technology, publications, new funding, etc.), up-coming conferences and events, and other significant happenings to the entire community.
This edition of the iVAC highlights the following:
- A CCICADA Student Workshop on Mathematical & Computational Modeling in Service of Society,
- The 2011 DHS University Network Summit,
- The Infrastructure Protection and Evacuation Planning Symposium,
- CCICADA Researchers work with IBM on the Next Watson. (What is Watson? Read the article and find out!),
- Call for proposals for the 3rd International UKVAC Workshop on Visual Analytics, and
- The US-Sweden Workshop: A Visualization and Analytics Approach to Flooding and Pandemics.
If you would like to submit an article or snippet for the next edition of iVAC or you would like to add someone to this iVAC distribution list, please email iVAC@dhs.gov.
Thank you and enjoy,
VAPr |

Complex transportation systems can be hit by natural disasters, targeted for terrorist attacks, or used to spread disease or toxins with wide-scale consequences. They also comprise an integral component of response and recovery systems.
