Hello iVAC Partners and Friends!
We would like to announce the most recent addition of the Integrated Visualization and Analytics Community (iVAC) Newsletter http://www.theivac.org. The Visualization and Analytics Program (VAPr) within the U.S. Department of Homeland Security believes the regular communication found within the iVAC is one of the most effective ways to enable the Data and Visual Analytics enterprise to flourish. The iVAC is designed to be a coordinating function for the numerous activities coming out of or related to the VAPr, international partners and other government agencies. Presenting and sharing knowledge of these initiatives, accomplishments and significant events allows the community to better coordinate activities and conversations.
Our community is in the middle of a very busy summer, with many demonstrations of technology and collaborations amongst domestic and international partners, with new collaborations forming constantly.
If you would like to submit an article or snippet to share with the community 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 |
