4th Workshop on Topology-Based Methods in Data Analysis and Visualization
                   April, 4-6, 2011, Zurich, Switzerland.

Topology-based methods are of increasing importance in the analysis and
visualization of datasets from a wide variety of scientific domains such
as biology, physics, engineering, and medicine. Current challenges of
topology-based techniques include the extension of concepts to time-
dependent data, the representation of large and complex datasets, the
characterization of noise and uncertainty, the effective integration of
numerical methods with robust combinatorial algorithms, etc.

In this forum we will bring together the most prominent and best
recognized researchers in the field of topology-based data analysis and
visualization for a joint discussion and scientific exchange of the
latest results in the field. At the workshop we will discuss topics which
include:

    * scalar/vector/tensor field topology
    * topology of point sets and cell complexes
    * theoretical models
    * combinatorial methods and robustness
    * multi-scale representation models
    * higher-order topological methods
    * time-dependent methods
    * feature extraction
    * Lagrangian coherent structures
    * topology-based denoising
    * topological similarity and correlation
    * topology simplification
    * error bounds
    * user interfaces and visualization
    * domain specific interpretation of topological constructs and results
    * efficiency of topological algorithms

The 2011 workshop in Zurich, Switzerland, follows the three successful
workshops in 2005 (Budmerice, Slovakia), 2007 (Grimma, Germany), and
2009 (Snowbird, USA). It will be held in an open atmosphere of informal
discussions, open exchange and personal interaction. Submissions are
peer-reviewed before the workshop. All accepted papers must be presented
at the workshop. A selection of the papers presented at the workshop will
be invited for a book published in the Mathematics + Visualization series
of Springer.
