Visualization involves the use of computer-based imaging technologies to
extract, interpret and graphically communicate meaningful information from
high volume scientific data sources. As the spatial and spectral resolution
of sensors increases, advanced methodologies for visualization are required
to enable more complex computations and simulations and to expedite
scientific process and insight.

This conference will focus on recent hardware and software developments that
specifically facilitate 3D visualization of multi-dimensional scientific
data.  Sessions will also be included on human-machine interface research
and applications requirements to provide guidelines for future visualization
technology development and evaluation.

Papers are requested for, but are not limited to, the following sessions and
topics:

- 3D processing and display for visualization
	- Advances in visualization display hardware
	- Image processing & analysis techniques
	- Networking and data flow solutions
	- Advanced data storage and data management systems
	- Expert systems for visualization
	- Visualization software developments
	- Integration of image and graphic data structures
	- 3D imaging acquisition techniques
- User interface issues in visualization
	- Perceptual and cognitive guidelines for human-matched displays.
	- Input technologies for 3D manipulation
	- Realtime interactive and simulation environments
	- Collaborative workstations/televisualization
	- Evaluation of visualization methodologies
- Applications
	- Examples from fields such as: Medicine, Physics, Fluid dynamics,
	  Chemistry, Geoscience, Mathematics, Biomechanics, Meteorology,
	  Astronomy, numerical simulation, etc.
	- User requirements
