SAGE3 Annual All Hands Meeting (AHM) 2025
Participants: Khairi Reda, Lance Long, Luc Renambot, Maxine Brown
SAGE3, the Smart Amplified Group Environment, is the next-generation, “human-in-the-loop” visualization and collaboration platform, which uses artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to serve as a user’s “co-pilot” to autonomously manage and link disparate datasets and orchestrate services. It is being developed by the Laboratory for Advanced Visualization & Applications (LAVA) and the Hawaii Data Science Institute (HI-DSI) at University of Hawaii at Manoa (UHM), the Electronic Visualization Laboratory (EVL) at University of Illinois Chicago (UIC), and the Center for Human-Computer Interaction (CHCI) at Virginia Tech (VT). SAGE3 held its annual AHM at EVL from July 23-25, 2025. LAVA, EVL and CHCI team members participated either locally or remotely, and were joined by long-time collaborators Argonne Leadership Computing Facility (ALCF) at Argonne National Laboratory and the Academy for Creative Media (ACM) at University of Hawaii. Though distributed, the team had fruitful discussions and brainstorming sessions, which were greatly enhanced by using SAGE3 on EVL’s Cyber-Commons display wall to share documents, webpages, stickie notes, etc. They also utilized SAGE3&rsqu;s AI capabilities to search online for information, summarize documents, etc. Given this is the last year of the current NSF SAGE3 award, discussions also centered on the future. Topics discussed: * Listing both work to be completed, and aspirations for how SAGE3 can be an even more productive collaboration and visualization tool. * Discussions of how technology is advancing and what will be important over the next five years. * Deciding what new user communities might benefit from SAGE3. * Discussions on how AI can further help with collaboration, documentation, spatialization of content, etc. * Looking at future opportunities and potential NSF programs to pursue. SAGE3 receives major support from the National Science Foundation (NSF), awards #2004014 (UHM), #2003800 (UIC) and #2003387 (VT). Date: July 23, 2025 - July 25, 2025 |
