John Peter Lee CFP: Visualization '94 16 Mar 1994 15:42:45 GMT UMass-Lowell Computer Science Newsgroups: sci.virtual-worlds IEEE Visualization '94 ************* Call for Participation *************** Sponsored by: IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Graphics In Cooperation with ACM / SIGGRAPH October 17-21 1994 * Sheraton Premiere at Tysons Corner, Virginia * Washington, DC * Scientific visualization is an important research and applications frontier shared by a variety of science, medicine, and engineering fields. The interdisciplinary areas of visualization work have now emerged into the rapidly developing field of visualization. This conference focuses on interdisciplinary methods and supports collaboration among the developers and users of visualization methods across all of science, engineering, and commerce. IEEE Visualization '94 is the fifth annual IEEE Visualization Conference Week and will be held in Tysons Corner, in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area west of Arlington. The Conference Week includes tutorials, symposia and mini-workshops Sunday through Tuesday, and three-way parallel tracks of papers, panels, and case studies Wednesday through Friday. * to visit the Mosaic home page for Vis'94: from the Georgia Tech home page: http://www.gatech.edu or directly: http://www.gatech.edu/vis94.html ************************************** Important Visualization '94 Dates: Paper, Panel, Case Study, Tutorial, Mini-Workshop, and BOF Proposals Due March 31, 1994 Demonstration Proposals Due May 30, 1994 Acceptance Notification Mailed June 10, 1994 Final Paper (Papers, Panels, Case Study) Due July 10, 1994 Tutorial Notes Due August 10, 1994 Final Video (Paper and Case Study) Due August 10, 1994 ******************************************* Paper Submissions (due March 31, 1994) Papers are solicited that present research results related to all areas of visualization, including visualization tools and methods, and discipline-specific applications.

Panelists should be experts in their field who discuss the challenges of visualization. Panel sessions are 90 - 120 minutes in length, with 3 to 5 speakers in addition to the Panel Chair. At the Panel Session, panelists should each make a brief position statement addressing issues and include a moderated discussion which may include the audience. Proposals will be evaluated on the significance of the issues and the prospect for lively, informed discussion. Panel proposals should describe the topic to be addressed and identify the prospective panelists. In the panel proposal each panelist should include a position statement on the topic and a short biography, the total of which should be limited to 500 words. The statement will be included in the conference proceedings. Contact: Lloyd Treinish IBM Thomas J. Watson Research Center P.O.

These sessions provide an interdisciplinary meeting point between scientists from different areas such as astrophysics, atmospheric sciences, computational fluid dynamics, engineering, geology, medicine, anthropology, chemistry, etc. Please submit a short paper (1000 words) describing the case study. The submission of images and/or NTSC video to accompany the paper is recommended. A short paper (maximum 4 pages including images) will be included in the conference proceedings; the video may be included in the conference videotape.

They should deal with state-of-the-art topics and involve experts in the field. Discipline-focused proposals devoted to a particular discipline's methods and needs are encouraged (e.g. visualization related to molecular biology). If appropriate, the session may be co-sponsored by another professional organization. These sessions are forums for participants to exchange views. Mini-workshop organizers select approximately 20 participants based on responses to a CFP published in the Visualization '94 Advance Announcement. BOFS will be described in the Advance Program and Final Program and attendance is ad hoc. Proposals should describe the theme and goals of the Mini-Workshop or BOF, the activities planned, and a brief description of the organizer's background.

Tutorials will be offered Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, preceding the Wednesday through Friday Visualization '94 Conference. Proposals should clearly identify the visualization proficiencies expected of participants at a beginning, intermediate, or advanced level. Tutorial proposals should include an abstract of the tutorial topic, a description of the tutorials' organization to include time allocation for major course topics, the duration (1/2 day or 1 day), the level of the tutorial, and the background and address information of each of the instructors. Tutorial proposals will be evaluated on the basis of the tutorial's relevance, importance and suitability for presentation in a tutorial format; the past experience and qualifications of the instructors, and the overall balance in the tutorial program. The Tutorial Organizer will be responsible for development of the Tutorial Notes for the Tutorial, the notes will be due in August.

We invite applications for demonstrations of commercial hardware, software, integrated systems, peripherals, and literature. We encourage commercial demonstrators to have technical representatives in attendance. Call or write for a packet which includes fees for commercial demonstrations and past attendee demographics. Registration for the technical conference is included in the commercial demonstration fee. Commercial demonstrators confirmed before June 15, 1994 will be announced in the Visualization '94 Advance Program. Research groups from academia and research labs are invited to demonstrate their work interactively at Visualization '94. Proposals should summarize the work to be presented and identify the hardware/software platform required. Proposals from non-profit organizations will be reviewed and will be accepted based on the anticipated level of interest in the research and the space available. Demonstrations will be held on Wednesday and Thursday during the conference.
