info on research into databases + data visualization needed

Hi. I am looking for people performing research into the area of integrating database system technology into data visualization systems. This is related to my ScD thesis topic, and I'd like to get a feeling for the kind of research going on towards this integration. Additionally, I am planning a workshop on this topic in the near future, and would like to find some suitable participants in academia AND industry. Please forward me a brief description of the nature of your research soon, as I would like to submit the proposal by next week. I will be in email contact with all those who submit. Thanks in Advance jp ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ JP Lee Institute for Visualization and Perception Research jlee@cs.ulowell.edu University of Massachusetts at Lowell (508) 934-3384 1 University Ave. Lowell, MA 01854 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
