Zusammenfassung:	Abstract: "Vista is a system for remote visualization of data. With minimal and possibly automatic instrumentation, an application run in the Vista environment will have its data (variables and data structures) made available to a visualization system on a remote workstation. Vista provides a window into the application by showing program data automatically during execution. The data to be displayed and the type of display to be used are chosen interactively while the application is executing. Any data display can be enabled or disabled at any time; it is not necessary to specify the data or graphics technique before compilation as with conventional graphics tools The application may excecute locally, on a remote supercomputer, on several clusters of a shared memory computer, or even across a network of distributed computers. The system architecture is designed to interact with an excecuting application, however the Vista model allows a data or trace file to replace the excecuting application, providing a visualization 'data browser' for existing data or simulation runs. Designed primarily for scientific visualization, Vista also offers an environment for more effective debugging, program development, and a tool for viewing results.
