IEEE Pacific Visualization Symposium 2009 April 20-23, 2009 Beijing, China

Website:  http://vis.buaa.edu.cn/ 
Sponsored by the IEEE Visualization and Graphics Technical Committee

Following the great success of the first IEEE Pacific Visualization
Symposium held in Kyoto, Japan, in March 2008, we are excited to
announce the Pacific Visualization Symposium 2009, which will take
place in Beijing, China. PacificVis is an IEEE VGTC sponsored
international visualization symposium held in the Asian-Pacific
region, with the objective to foster greater exchange between
visualization researchers and practitioners, and to draw more
researchers in the Asian-Pacific region to enter this rapidly growing
area of research.  Papers are solicited that present original and
unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of
visualization including, but not limited to:

 Feature extraction
 Flow visualization
 GPU based visualization
 Graph drawing
 Information visualization
 Large data visualization
 Illustration techniques    
 Multi-field visualization
 Multi-resolution techniques    
 Parallel visualization
 Perception in visualization
 Software visualization
 Time-varying visualization    
 Usability and visualization systems
 Uncertainty visualization
 Vector/Tensor field visualization
 Visual analytics
 Visualization applications    
 Visual-based knowledge discovery
 Visual data mining
 Volume visualization and modeling

All regular submissions will undergo a rigorous review by the
International Program Committee and papers accepted to PacificVis will
appear in the symposium proceedings published by IEEE VGTC. In
addition, authors of those papers of particularly outstanding quality
will be invited to submit an extended version of their papers to IEEE
Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics.

Submissions for PacificVis 2009 must be made electronically through
the SRM online submission and review management system at
http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_IEEE_PVIS09 following the submission 
guidelines http://egmcp1.cgv.tugraz.at/SRM_IEEE_PVIS09/subinstructions.html. 
Papers may be up to 8 pages long and must be formatted according to the
VGTC guidelines given at http://www.cs.sfu.ca/~vis/Tasks/camera.html. 
Please note that PacificVis 2009 uses a double blind reviewing approach, so
please remove all personal data (like author, affiliation etc.) from your 
submission!
