Dates

Monday July 26, 2004 — organizational meeting in the afternoon. Exact time/location TBD.
Tuesday July 27 and Wednesday July 28, 2004 — Coding camp. The coding camp location will be held at a TBD location on the campus of the University of Utah.

Location – Lodging

The meeting hotel is The Hotel Monaco – Salt Lake City. A block of rooms has been reserved under the name "Diva." As of the time of this writing, I don't know what the exact room rate is.

If you're extremely averse to spending any money whatsoever, contact Steve Parker sparker at cs dot utah dot edu for information about other cheap-o places to stay. One alternative is the University's guest house. Another is a tent in Steve's backyard.

Registration

Please visit this page to register for the July coding camp. No registration fee is required – we just need to get a head count.

Background and Workshop Objectives

Building upon previous workshops, the overall objectives for this meeting are to (1) gain direct experience with CCA as a component and framework infrastructure; (2) see what we can do with CCA in terms of building some visualization components and assembling them into a pipeline. Our meeting will be held in the days immediately preceding the July 2004 meeting of the CCA itself. You should feel free to stay for the regular CCA meeting if you are so inclined. For more information about the CCA and their July meeting, visit the CCA website.

The objectives for the organizational meeting are as follows:

Lay out the logistics and objectives for the coding camp days.
Discuss overall project objectives.

Note: The organizational meeting is intended to be a relatively small and informal affair. Please contact Wes if you want to attend the organizational meeting.

The objective for the coding camp is to go through the process of writing some CCA-based visualization components. In an ideal world, when we finish, we will have a handful of visualization components that can be run from one or more of the existing CCA frameworks.

Workshop Findings

This findings document is a record of what we attempted to do, what we actually did, and some observations and discussion about the efficacy of using CCA as the basis for visualization components.
