讲座列入研究生“读书报告”范围，欢迎广大研究生选听。
讲座内容介绍：
1、Visual Languages and Their Applications
In this talk, I will first provide an overview of the research projects conducted at the UTD Visual Computing Lab. I will then introduce the basic concepts in visual programming and visual languages, with a focus on our recent research prototype. The fundamenal theory underlying any visual language is a graph grammar formalism. We will briefly discuss our Reserved Graph Grammar (RGG) formalism and visual language generation mechanism based on the RGG. Its successor called Spatial Graph Grammar formalism is extended with the capability of spatial specifications. Applications of these grammars in multimedia/Web authoring, distributed programming, software engineering, model management, etc, will be presented.
2、FACADE - An Effective Data Clustering Framework
This talk will focus on a data clustering framework called FACADE (Fast and Automatic Clustering Approach to Data Engineering), and associated techniques. Three features of FACADE distinguish it from other clustering approaches: highly effective noise removal, data compression, and visual support for human participation. FACADE has been applied to GIS image processing, medical image processing, and microarray gene data processing. I will briefly mention these applications and other
on-going applications. I will give a quick demo at the end of this talk if time permits. FACADE demos (given at SIGMOD'04) can be found at http://viscomp.utdallas.edu/FACADE.
Short Bio:
Kang Zhang is a Professor in Computer Science and Director of Visual Computing Lab at the University of Texas at Dallas. He received his B.Eng. in Computer Engineering from the University of Electronic Science and Technology, China, in 1982; and Ph.D. from the University of Brighton, UK, in 1990. Prior to joining
UTD as an Associate Professor, he held academic positions in the UK and Australia.
Zhang's current research interests are in the areas of visual data mining, visual programming and visual languages, and Web engineering; and has pulished over 130 papers in these areas. His research has been funded by the UK SERC, Australian Research Council and US NSF.He is a General Chair of the 2005 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing to be held in Dallas in September 2005(http://viscomp.utdallas.edu/vlhcc05/).
Zhang was also an editor of two books on Software
Visualization. His home page is at
