IEEE Visualization 2000 focuses on interdisciplinary methods and collaboration among developers and users of visualization methods across all of science, engineering, medicine, and commerce. Sunday through Tuesday of Conference Week will include tutorials, symposia, and mini-workshops. Papers, panels, case studies, and works in progress will be presented Wednesday through Friday. We invite you to participate in IEEE Visualization 2000 by submitting your original research through papers, panels, case studies, work in progress, and demonstrations. Share your perspectives through panels and workshops, or your experience through tutorials. Please select the forum appropriate to your submission, where it will be considered by your peers for presentation. Particular focus on volume visualization and information visualization are addressed in special two-day symposia.

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. This year we will begin accepting electronic submissions of papers. If you choose to submit electronically, please submit in the PDF or postscript format. If you chose to submit hardcopy, please submit 7 hardcopies of all materials. Regardless of whether you submit your paper electronically or in the hardcopy format, a complete paper submission form including the abstract must be sent through the conference website for each submission. Details for electronic submission are available at http://www.erc.msstate.edu/conferences/vis2000/. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings; the videos will be included in the conference video proceedings. Hard copy paper submissions should be sent to: Vis2000, Center for Scientific Computing and Imaging, University of Utah, 50 S. Central Campus Dr.,Room 3440 MEB Salt Lake City, UT 84112 +1 801-581-3154 Panel Proposals (due March 31, 2000) Panels should address the most important issues in visualization today. Panelists should be experts in their fields who can discuss the challenges of visualization, and engage the audience and fellow panel members in a stimulating, interactive debate. 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, the total of which should be limited to 500 words. The statements will be included in the conference proceedings. Panel proposals should be sent to Jamie Painter - jamie@acl.lanl.gov Case Study Papers (due March 31, 2000) Case studies are reports on how visualization has contributed to the analysis of data in actual applications or studies of the visualization process. A short paper limited to 2500 words (maximum 4 pages B/W plus 1 page color) will be included in the conference proceedings. Images and/or NTSC VHS video to accompany the paper are recommended; the video will be included in the conference video proceedings. This year we are encouraging electronic submissions. For more detailed information concerning submission, see the web site, or contact Robert van Liere - robertl@cwi.nl Work in Progress (due June 15, 2000) Submissions are solicited for Works In Progress sessions that pertain to all areas of Visualization. These submissions must be original abstracts, must describe work in progress by the authors and their collaborators, and may not exceed 500 words or a maximum of 1 page. Images and/or NTSC VHS video to accompany the abstract are recommended. Authors of accepted abstracts will have an opportunity to submit a revised and extended abstract, as well as presenting the work at the conference. These extended abstracts may not exceed 1000 words or a maximum of 2 pages including images. All accepted abstracts will be distributed at the conference but not published in the conference proceedings. Videos associated with accepted abstracts may be included in the conference video proceedings. All submissions will be done electronically. Submission details can be found at the conference web site. For further information, contact Sam Uselton - uselton1@llnl.gov Tutorial Proposals (due March 31, 2000) Half-day and full-day course proposals are invited for visualization systems, methods, and application areas. Tutorials will be offered Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday. For more detailed information concerning submission and format content, see the web site, or Contact Penny Rheingans - rheingan@cs.umbc.edu Mini-Workshop and Birds-of-a-Feather Proposals (due March 31, 2000) 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 should be sent to Rob Erbacher - erbacher@cs.albany.edu Demonstration Proposals Visualization 2000 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 2000 demonstrations, contact Eric Greenwade - leg@inel.gov Creative Applications Lab The Creative Applications Lab (CAL) is designed to let presenters interact with conference attendees on an individual basis. The CAL will have a variety of computers on which the contributors can install their materials for attendees' experimentation and enjoyment. The CAL will be open in conjunction with the demonstrations at Visualization 2000. For details on participating in the CAL see the web site or contact Russell Taylor - taylor@cs.unc.edu IEEE/SIGGRAPH 2000 Symposium on Volume Visualization (VolVis 2000) (submission deadline March 31, 2000) Papers in all areas of volume visualization and volume graphics are solicited for the 2000 Volume Visualization Symposium. http://www.cis.ohio-state.edu/volviz/volviz00.html IEEE 2000 Symposium on Information Visualization (InfoVis 2000) (submission deadline March 31, 2000) Papers, panels and case studies concentrating on issues specific to abstract information visualization. http://www.infovis.org/infovis2000
