Node-Link Data Visualization (Redgraph)

Investigators / Authors: Harry Halpin, David J. Zielinski, Glenda Kelly.

Time: 2006 to Present

Description: Allowing the user to explore and manipulate node positions of RDF data. Currently applying to the domain of patents. A prototype version of the application was showcased during the 2007 Duke University HASTAC conference. We have received a Duke Unversity Provost Common Fund grant to support the project. We have been accepted to submit a poster on this project for the 2008 IEEE Virtual Reality Conference. Currently submitting a paper on this work to the European Semantic Web Conference 2008.

Cognitive Psycology Experiments

Investigators / Authors: Nicole Huff, Jose A. Alba Hernandez, Holton Thompson , David J. Zielinski

Time: 2006 - Present

Description: The goal of this project is to use the visual stimulus along with measures of skin conductance and electrical shocks to better understand fear extinction. Understanding this mechanism better would be useful for the treatment of PTSD.

illiDiVE Math Applications

Investigators / Authors: Becky Hoai, with the cooperation of George Francis (UIUC)

Time: Summer 2007

Description: George Francis collaborated with a number of people to develop an array of math-related applications for use in cluster-based virtual environments such as the CUBE at UIUC and the PORTAL at the Technical University of Berlin. These apps all used a common programming platform, Syzygy. Each application's code (written in C) was modified for DiVE compatibility. Each program can be run in console-mode, allowing the user to experience full functionality of the program (minus the 3-D visualization) from any computer.
