Flexible delivery of visualization software and services

An important issue in the design of visualization systems is to allow flexibility in providing a range of interfaces to a single body of algorithmic software. In this paper we describe how the ADVISE architecture provides exactly this flexibility. The architecture is cleanly separated into three layers: user interface, web service middleware and visualization components. This gives us the flexibility to provide a range of different delivery options, but all making use of the same basic set of visualization components. These delivery options comprise a range of user interfaces (visual pipeline editor, tailored application, web page), coupled with installation choice between a stand-alone desktop application, or a distributed client-server application.
