This spring school brings together internationally recognized experts from
different fields in visualization for an event providing a stimulating 
atmosphere for teaching, learning and professional exchange of
ideas in the area of scientific and mathematical visualization.

The lecturers will be:
======================

   M. Gross, ETH Z"urich
   D. Keim, Universit"at Halle
   H.-P. Pfister, Mitsubishi Research Lab, Cambridge
   D. Silver, Rutgers University

The topics covered by the lecturers include:
============================================

   - Wavelets and Multiresolution Methods for Computer Graphics
   - Visual Data Exploration 
   - Volume Graphics
   - Visualizing Time-Varying Phenomena

The participants will gain an overview and a working knowledge of fundamental 
methodology in different field of visualization, ranging from 
flow visualization and feature extraction, hardware supported volume rendering,
hierarchical paradigms and compression techniques, to concepts in information 
visualization. The lecturers have outstanding expertise in their fields and
will present the state of the art in current research. 

The intended audience are students and professionals from universities, research
institutes and industry who want to get a comprehensive view of
visualization including recent results. Poster sessions and a small number
contributed lectures by the participants will be held in addition to the
main lectures. To keep this spring school personal the number of
participants is limited to a maximum of 60. The spring school will take
