推荐会议： VIZBI 可视化生物学数据
1 什么是可视化 ？
可视化（Visualization）是利用计算机图形学和图像处理技术，将数据转换成图形或图像在屏幕上显示出来，并进行交互处理的理论、方法和技术。
可视化技术最早运用于计算科学中，并形成了可视化技术的一个重要分支——科学计算可视化(Visualization in Scientific Computing)。科学计算可视化能够把科学数据，包括测量获得的数值、图像或是计算中涉及、产生的数字信息变为直观的、以图形图像信息表示的、随时间和空间变化的物理现象或物理量呈现在研究者面前，使他们能够观察、模拟和计算。科学计算可视化自1987年提出以来，在各工程和计算领域得到了广泛的应用和发展。
实践中通常更多地提到数据可视化、信息可视化等。 参考 http://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/数据可视化
2 关于 VIZBI
网址： http://vizbi.org
Visualization is increasingly important in life science as data grows rapidly in volume and complexity.
The VIZBI initiative is an international conference series bringing together researchers developing and using computational visualization to address a broad range of biological research areas. VIZBI is held annually in March, alternating between Europe and the USA.
小插曲：
常理来讲使用 VIZBIO的名字和vizbio.org 的域名可能更友好一些，但目前还是用的vizbi，因为vizbio.com和vizbio.org都已被注册且在售, 估计也不值得购入。
如果你google vizbio, 结果中除了vizbio.com和vizbio.org外，大部分条目都是我很久之前创建的一个空白google project - vizbio 。

VIZBI 2012 will be held 6-8 March 2012 at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory, Heidelberg, Germany.
The conference features 22 invited talks that will review the state-of-the-art and challenges in visualizing data from genomes, transcripts, proteins, cells, organisms, and populations.
Prior to the meeting (5 March), there will also be tutorials on several visualization tools.
Key Dates
