Sixth IEEE Symposium on Parallel and Large-Data Visualization and Graphics

			 Seattle, Washington

			 October 20-21, 2003

	     In conjunction with IEEE Visualization 2003

			   Call for Papers


PVG 2003, the IEEE Symposium on Parallel and Large-Data Visualization
and Graphics, will be held on October 20-21, 2003 in conjunction with
IEEE Visualization 2003. This is the 6th in a series that began with
the Parallel Rendering Symposium. The current title reflects an
expanded emphasis on large data models, scientific visualization and
graphics in addition to photorealistic rendering. This emphasis was
intended to address subject areas outside the bounds of larger
conferences, e.g. IEEE Visualization or ACM SIGGRAPH.

Papers are due March 31, 2003 and are expected to address issues of
large data models, parallelism, or both as applied to problems in
visualization and graphics. Although large data models and parallelism
are often linked, submission of papers focusing on small-scale
parallelism and non-parallel large data techniques is encouraged. We
are also interested in hardware, survey papers and state-of-the-art
case studies from various application domains. We encourage especially
those from the physical and biological sciences.


TOPICS OF INTEREST include (but are not limited to)

  o Visualization and Virtual Reality on the Grid
  o Parallel algorithms, architectures and software.
  o Load balancing, scalability, and performance.
  o Mesh/data simplification.
  o Feature extraction.
  o Compression techniques
  o Clustering and Association Mining techniques
  o Multi-resolution and out-of-core techniques.
  o Isocontouring and volume rendering.
  o Vector/tensor field visualization.
  o Parallel rendering, modeling and simulation.
  o Displays and multi-modal interaction, virtual reality.
  o Graphics/network accelerators and systems.
  o Application-specific solutions

IMPORTANT DATES

Submission deadline: March 31st, 2003
Notification: June 2nd, 2003
Camera-Ready due: July 7th, 2003
Symposium: October 20-21, 2003

SUBMISSION GUIDELINES

Papers accepted for presentation will be included in the proceedings
to be distributed at the Symposium.
