Key role of integrated visualization and modeling techniques in data analysis

Computer Graphics techniques are going ti play a new role in scientific research since, potentially, they can offer powerful tools for data analysis and phenomena understanding. Unfortunately, nowadays graphics software is still cunberstome, uneasy to use and more oriented to presentation of final results rather than to analysis. Hence, development of new software is required based on the real need of scientists and on the most advanced computer graphics techniques such as new algorithms and new software design strategies.
