The tenth IEEE Visualization conference focuses on interdisciplinary methods and collaboration among visualization developers and users across all of science, engineering, medicine and commerce. We invite you to participate in IEEE Visualization '99 by submitting your original research through papers, panels, case studies, late breaking hot topics, and demonstrations. Please select the forum appropriate to your submission, where it will be considered by your peers for presentation. Particular focus on parallel techniques in visualization and information visualization are addressed in special two-day symposia. For further information on the conference or symposia contact: Steve Bryson, Conference Co-Chair, NASA Ames Research Center, +1 (650) 604 4524, Fax: +1 (650) 604 3957, bryson@nas.nasa.gov Theresa-Marie Rhyne, Conference Co-Chair, Lockheed Martin/US EPA Scientific Visualization Center, +1 (919) 541 0207, Fax: +1 (919) 541 0056, trhyne@vislab.epa.gov See the conference web page for complete up-to-date information and submission details at http://www.erc.msstate.edu/vis99 Conference Papers (due March 31, 1999) Papers are solicited that present research results related to all areas of visualization. Original papers are limited to 5,000 words. The submission of NTSC VHS video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is strongly recommended. Please submit 7 copies of all materials. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings; the videos will be included in the conference video proceedings. Paper submissions (hard copy only) should be sent to Bernd Hamann, Center for Image Processing and Integrated Computing, 2343 Academic Surge Building, One Shields Avenue, University of California, Davis, Davis, CA 95616-8553, USA Panel Proposals (due March 31, 1999) Panels should address the most important issues in visualization today. Panel proposals should describe the topic to be addressed and identify the prospective panelists. Each panelist should include a position statement on the topic and a short biography (limit 500 words for both per panelist). The statements will be included in the conference proceedings. Panel proposals should (hard copy or email) be sent to J. Edward Swan, Naval Research Laboratory, Code 5580, 4555 Overlook Ave. SW Washington, D.C. 20375-5320, USA, swan@ait.nrl.navy.mil Case Study Papers (due March 31, 1999) Case studies are reports on how visualization has contributed to the analysis of data. Possible application areas include physical, life, social and information sciences, engineering, and commerce. Ashort paper limited to 2500 words (maximum 4 pages B/W plus 1 page color) will be included in the conference proceedings. The video will be included in the conference videotape. Submit six copies of all materials. Case study submissions (hard copy only) should be sent to David Kao, NASA Ames Research Center, M/S T27A-2, Moffett Field CA 94035-1000, USA, davidkao@nas.nasa.gov Late Breaking Hot Topics Papers (due June 15, 1999) Submissions will be accepted on Late Breaking Hot Topics that pertain to all areas of Visualization. These submissions must be original, may show work in progress, and may not exceed 1000 words or a maximum of 4 pages including images. Images and/or VHS video to accompany the paper are recommended; the video will be included in the conference video proceedings. Accepted papers will be published and distributed at the conference. Authors of accepted papers will have an opportunity to submit a revised paper. Submissions will be done electronically. For information concerning submission, see the web site, or contact Craig M. Wittenbrink at craig_wittenbrink@hpl.hp.com Tutorial Proposals (due March 31, 1999) Tutorials cover specific visualization methods or application areas in depth. This year proposals are solicited on topics ancillary to visualization (databases, usability, commercialization, etc.) as well as standard visualization techniques, languages, or toolkits. Tutorials may optionally propose use of the planned interactive classroom, in which case proposals should describe how the course will effectively use this facility. Tutorials are full or half-day, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday. For more detailed information concerning submission and format content, see the web site, or contact Kelly Gaither at kelly@erc.msstate.edu Mini-Workshop and Birds-of-a-Feather Proposals (due March 31, 1999) Proposals may be submitted for Mini-Workshops and evening Birds-Of-A-Feather (BOF) gatherings on visualization methods or application areas. 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. Mini-Workshop and Birds-of-a-Feather Proposals (hard copy or email) should be sent to Rob Erbacher, University of Idaho, Department of Computer Science, Moscow, ID 83844-1010, USA, erbacher@cs.uidaho.edu Demonstration Proposals Visualization '99 is a unique opportunity to present your products or research to visualization experts from a wide variety of fields. We invite demonstrations of commercial hardware, software, integrated systems peripherals, and literature, as well as academic research. We encourage demonstrators to have technical representatives in attendance. For more information on participating in Visualization '99 demonstrations, contact Upul Obeysekare at obey@ctc.com Creative Applications Lab The Creative Applications Lab (CAL) is designed to let Visualization '99 attendees run their software to show off their latest work. CAL will have a variety of computers available. For details on participating in the CAL see the web site or contact Kelly Gaither at kelly@erc.msstate.edu.
