Title Interactive simulation and visualization
Date 1999
Description Most of us perform data analysis and visualization only after everything else is finished, which often means that we don't discover errors invalidating the results of our simulation until postprocessing. A better approach would be to improve the integration of simulation and visualization into the entire process so that you can make adjustments along the way. We call this approach computational steering. Computational steering is the capacity to control all aspects of the computational science pipeline-the succession of steps required to solve computational science and engineering problems. When you interactively explore a simulation in time and space, you steer it. In this sense, you can rely on steering to assist in debugging and to modify the computational aspects of your application.
