Summary: Ocean salinity is a critical component to understanding climate change.
Salinity concentrations and temperature drive large ocean currents which in
turn drive global weather patterns. Melting ice caps lower salinity at the
poles while river deltas bring fresh water into the ocean worldwide. These
processes slow ocean currents, changing weather patterns and producing extreme
climate events which disproportionally affect those living in poverty. Analysis
of salinity presents a unique visualization challenge. Important data are found
in narrow data ranges, varying with global location. Changing values of
salinity are important in understanding ocean currents, but are difficult to
map to colors using traditional tools. Commonly used colormaps may not provide
sufficient detail for this data. Current editing tools do not easily enable a
scientist to explore the subtleties of salinity. We present a workflow, enabled
by an interactive colormap tool that allows a scientist to interactively apply
sophisticated colormaps to scalar data. The intuitive and immediate interaction
of the scientist with the data is a critical contribution of this work.

Summary: Recent efforts to enhance team performance have been grounded in analysis of
team cognition, shared mental models, communication, and teamwork skills.
However, alternative lines of work in social psychology and organizational
development have addressed "psychosocial" factors, e.g., team cohesion, human
relations training and transformational leadership. The goal of this panel is
to explore the relevance of these factors for improving team performance.
Panelists will describe research advances from laboratory and operational
environments (military, space, and medicine), including tools for assessing
team cohesion, psychosocial training strategies, analytical methods for
examining changes in team performance, and limits to psychosocial approaches.

Summary: Within the expanding paradigm of medical imaging and wireless communications
there is increasing demand for transmitting diagnostic medical imagery over
error-prone wireless communication channels such as those encountered in
cellular phone technology. Medical images must be compressed with minimal file
size to minimize transmission time and robustly coded to withstand these
wireless environments. It has been reinforced through extensive research that
the most crucial regions of medical images must not be degraded and compressed
by a lossless or near lossless algorithm. This type of area is called the
Region of Interest (ROI). Conversely, the Region of Backgrounds (ROB) may be
compressed with some loss of information to achieve a higher compression level.
This type of hybrid coding scheme is most useful for wireless communication
where the 'bit-budget' is devoted to the ROI. This paper also develops a way
for this system to operate externally to the Joint Picture Experts Group (JPEG)
still image compression standard without the use of hybrid coding. A multiple
watermarking technique is developed to verify the integrity of the ROI after
transmission and in the situation where there may be incidental degradation
that is hard to perceive or unexpected levels of compression that may degrade
ROI content beyond an acceptable level. The most useful contribution in this
work is assurance of ROI image content integrity after image files are subject
to incidental degradation in these environments. This is made possible with
extraction of DCT signature coefficients from the ROI and embedding multiply in
the ROB. Strong focus is placed on the robustness to JPEG compression and the
mobile channel as well as minimizing the image file size while maintaining its
integrity with the use of semi-fragile, robust watermarking.

Summary: We describe local tools, a general interaction technique that replaces
traditional tool palettes. A collection of tools sit on the worksurface along
with the data. Each tool can be picked up (where it replaces the cursor),
used, and then put down anywhere on the worksurface. There is a toolbox for
organizing the tools. These local tools were implemented in Pad++ as part of
KidPad, an application for children.
