Visualization is a powerful tool for analyzing data and presenting results in science, engineering and medicine. This paper reviews ways in which it can be used in distributed and/or collaborative environments. Distributed visualization addresses a number of resource allocation problems, including the location of processing close to data for the minimization of data traffic. The advent of the Grid Computing paradigm and the link to Web Services provides fresh challenges and opportunities for distributed visualization-including the close coupling of simulations and visualizations in a steering environment. Recent developments in collaboration have seen the growth of specialized facilities (such as Access Grid) which have supplemented traditional desktop video conferencing using the Internet and multicast communications. Collaboration allows multiple users-possibly at remote sites-to take part in the visualization process at levels which range from the viewing of images to the shared control of the visualization methods.In this review, we present a model framework for distributed and collaborative visualization and assess a selection of visualization systems and frameworks for their use in a distributed or collaborative environment. We also discuss some examples of enabling technology and review recent work from research projects in this field.

“…Thin clients having minimal functionality could not well support certain kind of real-time visual data manipulation [7], however we have to take into account that more powerful client side applets made in Java [8] or ActiveX components are not still supported by all kinds of devices, in particular by operative systems presently available for palmtops. For this reason, several powerful visualization systems cannot be adapted easily to this class of devices.…”

We present a practical approach to the design of a Web system for 3D and volumetric data interrogation and visualization. This Web application provides different functionalities including isosurface extraction, mesh simplification, output file production in a standard format, and data compression. The application is designed in a modular way, and its services are suitable for heterogeneous clients, including wireless and diskless

“…This capability is also the basis of Java applets, which are exploited by the VizWiz system [6] to support visualization on the network. Java can also be used with TCP/IP sockets, which are used by the Habanero system to support remote collaboration [2].…”

The scientific world is evolving to require more collaboration among different institutions and disciplines. Understanding long-term changes in the Earth environment, for example, requires models that integrate disciplines such as meteorology, oceanography, hydrology (rivers and groundwater), soil science and geology. During the past 15 years, scientists have started sharing data using FTP and software on the Internet, but collaborative work and more routine data sharing require a new kind of scientific software.Distributed object technology is a software technique for supporting programming language references to objects on remote computers. Invoking methods of remote objects is similar to the remote procedure call (RPC) capability of Unix. Programs on any number of computers may contain references to each other's objects, so
