Abstract
This paper investigates requirements for remote data
access when used in an interactive visualization environ-
ment. A conceptually simple interface to deal with per-
sistent and transient data that are organized on structured
grids is specified. Although some parts of the interface are
stated only very generally, or as requirements, a first proto-
type confirms that efficient utilization of network resources
should be achievable for a wide range of applications.
1. Introduction
Remote visualization of large data is a challenging task.
Distributing the visualization pipeline (1) in different ways
might be optimal depending on parameters of the visual-
