The use of computational steering for smog prediction is described. This application is representative for many underlying issues found in steering high performance applications: high computing times, large data sets, and many diierent input parameters. After a short description of the smog prediction model, its visualization and steering are described. The amount of computation needed to solve...

A key event in the pathogenesis of transmissible spongiform encephalopathies is the conversion of PrP-sen to PrP-res. Morrissey and Shakhnovich (Morrissey, M. P., and Shakhnovich, E. I. (1999) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. U. S. A. 96, 11293-11298) proposed that the conversion mechanism involves critical interactions at helix 1 (residues 144-153) and that the helix is stabilized on PrP-sen by intra-he...

Computational steering is a technique that combines simulation and visualization. The user is continuously provided with visual feedback about the state of the simulation, and can change parameters on the y. Designers can vary parameters to optimize their product, users can detect errors in the input early, researchers can do qualitative sensitivity analyses easily. The implementation of comput...

We present a method for the deenition of multiple views in 3D interfaces for computational steering. The method uses the concept of a point-based parametrizable camera object. This concept enables a user to create and conngure multiple views on his custom 3D interface in an intuitive graphical manner. Each view can be coupled to objects present in the interface, parametrized to (simulation) dat...
