Attached is the October 2010 edition of the Integrated Visualization and Analytics Community (iVAC) Newsletter. The Basic/Futures Research (BFR) Program believes that regular communication is one of the most effective ways to enable our Data and Visual Analytics enterprise to flourish.

The iVAC Newsletter is envisioned as a coordinating function for the various activities coming out of the BFR program, international university partners and other government agencies. The thought is to present and share knowledge of these initiatives, accomplishments in various areas (technology, publications, new funding, etc.), up-coming conferences and events, and other significant happenings to the entire community.

This iVAC Newsletter features:

• Nine days in London – The UK Visual Analytics Summer School
• CCICADIAN Summers
• DHS COEs’ Workshop on Adversarial Decision Making
• Geosemble a standout in DARPA 2010 Success Report
• Human Trafficking Requirements Analysis
