A Generalized Malfatti Problem
Malfatti's problem, first published in 1803, is commonly understood to ask fitting three circles into a given triangle tangent to each other and to a pair of the triangle's sides. We consider a generalization of the problem that fits six circles into the triangle.

Data Management And Analysis With Wrf And Sfire
We introduce several useful utilities in development for the creation and analysis of real wildland fire simulations using WRF and SFIRE. These utilities exist as standalone programs and scripts as well as extensions to other well known software.

From Quantification To Visualization: A Taxonomy Of Uncertainty Visualization Approaches
In this paper, we first identify frequently occurring types of uncertainty. Second, we connect those uncertainty representations to ones commonly used in visualization.We then look at various approaches to visualizing this uncertainty by partitioning the work based on the dimensionality of the data and the dimensionality of the uncertainty, and we discuss noteworthy exceptions to our taxonomy along with future research directions for the uncertainty visualization community.

Simplification Of Node Position Data For Interactive Visualization Of Dynamic Data Sets
We propose to aid the interactive visualization of time-varying spatial datasets by simplifying node position data over the entire simulation as opposed to over individual states. Our approach is based on two observations. The first observation is that the trajectory of some nodes can be approximated well without recording the position of the node for every state. The second observation is that there are groups of nodes whose motion from one state to the next can be approximated well with a single transformation. We present dataset simplification techniques that take advantage of this node data redundancy.

Rectilinear Texture Warping For Fast Adaptive Shadow Mapping
RTW is an efficient method for adaptively sampling a shadow map using a set of user/developer-defined heuristics. RTW is both memory and computationally efficient, delivering exceedingly high-quality results in real-time.

Topological Analysis And Visualization Of Cyclical Behavior In Memory Reference Traces
We demonstrate the application of topological analysis techniques to the rather unexpected domain of software visualization. We use topological persistence to automatically detect significant circular structures in the point cloud, which represent recurrent or cyclical runtime program behaviors.
