%S Proceedings
%X This paper presents ongoing research results of an extensible visualization pipeline for real-time exploratory analysis of spatially explicit simulations. We identify the software requirements and discuss the main conceptual and design issues. We propose a protocol for data serialization, a high performance monitoring mechanism, and graphical interfaces for visualization. Experiments for performance analysis have shown that combining multithreading and the BlackBoard design pattern reduces the visualization response time in 50%, with no significant increase in memory consumption. The components presented in this paper have been integrated in the TerraME modeling platform for simulation of terrestrial systems.
