IEEE COMPUTER SOCIETY Sponsored by IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Visualization and Graphics In Cooperation with ACM/SIGGRAPH Visualization is a vital research and applications frontier shared by a variety of science, medical, engineering, business, and entertainment fields. IEEE Visualization 2001 focuses on interdisciplinary methods and collaboration among developers and users of visualization methods across all areas of science, engineering, medicine, and commerce. Sunday through Tuesday of Conference Week will include tutorials and symposia. Papers, panels, case studies, and work in progress will be presented Wednesday through Friday. We invite you to participate in IEEE Visualization 2001 by submitting your original research through papers, case studies, work in progress, and exhibitions. Share your perspectives through panels and Birds-of-a-Feather, or your experience through tutorials. Please select the forum appropriate to your submission, where it will be considered by your peers for presentation. Particular foci on parallel and large-data visualization techniques (PVG 2001) and information visualization (InfoVis 2001) are addressed in special two-day symposia. For further information on the conference or on submissions, contact: Mike Bailey, Conference Co-Chair, San Diego Supercomputer Center, Phone: +1 858 534 5142, Fax: +1 858 534 5152, EmaiL: mjb@sdsc.edu Charles Hansen, Conference Co-Chair, University of Utah, Phone: +1 801 581 3154, Fax: +1 801 581 5843, Email: hansen@cs.utah.edu or see: URL: http://vis.computer.org (The webpage will be filled soon) Conference Papers (due March 31, 2001) Papers are solicited that represent research results related to all areas of visualization. Original papers are limited to 5,000 words, and can be supplemented with up to 5 minutes of video. All papers must be submitted electronically in either PDF or postscript. 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://vis.computer.org. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings; the videos will be included in the conference video proceedings. Questions and correspondence should be sent to Kenneth I. Joy, Visualization 2001, Computer Science Department, University of California, One Shields Avenue, Davis, CA, 95616 +1 530-752-1077, Email: vis01@cs.ucdavis.edu. Case Study Papers (due March 31, 2001) Case studies are reports on how visualization has contributed to the analysis of data in actual applications or studies of the visualization process. Possible application areas include engineering, commerce, and the physical, life, social, and information sciences. An emphasis on lessons learned from practical experience is strongly encouraged, particularly where visualization has been employed in a real, working environment. Original papers are limited to 2,500 words (maximum four B/W pages plus one color page). Papers longer than the word or page limits or those that lack a case study theme will not be considered. The phrase "Case Study" should appear in the title. Papers must be submitted electronically in either PDF or postscript. Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings. NTSC VHS videos accompanying accepted submissions will be included in the conference video proceedings; movies viewable with QuickTime Player 4 or Windows Media Player 7 will be included in the CD-ROM proceedings. For detailed information concerning submission guidelines, see the conference web site, or contact Pak Chung Wong, Email: pak.wong@pnl.gov Work in Progress (due June 15, 2001) Submissions are solicited for Work 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 including images. 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 Kwan-Liu Ma, Email: ma@cs.ucdavis.edu Panel Proposals (due March 31, 2001) 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 for each panelist. The statements will be included in the conference proceedings. Demonstrations and innovative formats for the panels are encouraged. Please contact the panel co-chairs, Val Watson at vwatson@arc.nasa.gov or Michael Goss at goss@hpl.hp.com, if you have questions, suggestions, or need assistance. Panel proposals should be sent to Val Watson, Email: vwatson@arc.nasa.gov Tutorial Proposals (due March 31, 2001) Half-day and full-day course proposals are invited for visualization systems, methods, and application areas. We welcome course proposals that introduce emerging technologies to the visualization community such as biotechnology, multi-user gaming, and intelligent agents. The intent is to provide new incentives and/or application domains for visualization research. 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, Email: rheingan@cs.umbc.edu. Birds-of-a-Feather Proposals (due March 31, 2001) Proposals may be submitted for 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 disciplines methods and needs are encouraged. The IEEE Visualization Conference is interested in expanding its BOF sessions and will consider proposals for each evening, given room availability. Birds-of-a-Feather Proposals should be sent to Mike Pique, Email: pique@scripps.edu Exhibition Proposals Visualization 2001 is a unique opportunity to present your products or research to visualization experts from a wide variety of fields. We invite exhibitions of commercial hardware, software, integrated systems peripherals and literature, as well as academic research. We encourage exhibitors to have technical representatives in attendance.
