Research --- Overview Themes Projects Support RT-1: NPR RT-2: SBIM RT-3: Vis&VA RT-4: M&S RT-5: HDCI Research Theme 4: Modeling & Simulation -- In Modeling & Simulation (M&S), we focus on fundamental research of algorithms and mathematical models of computer graphics, visualization, and visual analytics, about static and dynamic descriptions in the data. Projects in M&S are either stand-alone or derived from/related to projects from the other four research themes. (a) Vital Brazil et al. '10a; Proença et al. '07; (b) Streit et al.
