Papers containing original work in all areas of volume visualization and graphics are solicited. Critical Dates March 31 Abstracts Due April 9 Papers Due by midnight June 6 Notification of acceptance August 1 Final papers due to Production Editor October 11 Symposium commences Submissions The deadline for submissions is April 9th, 2004. Note that submission of an abstract for papers is mandatory by March 31. Final papers will be limited to 8 pages. The current plan calls for these proceedings to be full color.
