Announcement and Call for Papers February 24-March 1, 1991 1991 SPIE/SPSE Symposium San Jose Convention Center on Electronic Imaging San Jose, California Science and Technology Abstracts Due: July 30, 1990 EXTRACTING MEANING FROM COMPLEX DATA: PROCESSING, DISPLAY, INTERACTION II Conference Chair: Edward J. Farrell, IBM T.J. Watson Research Center Cochairs: Joanna Alexander, David Sarnoff Research Center, H. Stephen Anderson, Ohio Supercomputer Graphics Project, Robert Dickinson, Visual Edge Software, Ltd., David Zeltzer, MIT Media Laboratory Sophisticated computations and measurements frequently result in complex multidimensional data. To extract meaning from these data, the user has a wide range of technologies at his/her disposal. However, interpretation of complex data involves diverse disciplines, from data access and storage to image formation and interactive interpretation. This conference is a forum for engineers and scientists to broaden their technical knowledge and present their current work. The focus will be on interactive data display and visual interpretation; methods and systems for day-to-day applications are of primary interest, not presentation graphics. A key topic is the use of animation for visual data interpretation. The following list of subjects indicates the conference orientation and is not intended to exclude relevant work: - Volumetric visualization of 3-D scalar fields, interpretation of multiple variable data, methods for 3-D time series. - Representation of vector fields, dynamic imaging and interaction. - Animation methods for data interpretation. - Visual thinking. - Interpretation of multidimensional, relational data. - Systems for animation and stereo data display. - Sound with images for data representation and interpretation. - Effective devices and display interface for interactive interpretation. - Data display and interpretation aided by expert systems. - Applications illustrating novel interpretation methods. Conference papers will be published in a proceedings with color plates and with a video supplement to present animation results. Prospective authors should submit four copies of a 300-400 word abstract and a brief professional biography by July 30. Final manuscripts are due January 28, 1991. If a video is contributed, it will be due March 22, 1991. Abstract, Application, Biography: By July 30, 1990, SPIE must receive: - 4 copies of the author application (available from SPIE) - 4 copies of a brief professional biography - 4 copies of a 200-300 word abstract, typed double-spaced on 8-1/2 x 11 paper. Please list on the abstract and on the author form the exact order of authors with the principal author first, followed by co-authors. Give complete affiliation, complete mailing address, and phone number for each author and co-author. Mail to: SPIE Technical Program Committee: EI '91 P.O. Box 10, Bellingham, WA 98227-0010 USA Telephone: (206) 676-3290 (Pacific time) Telex: 46-7053 Telefax: (206) 647-1445 OPTO-LINK: (206) 733-2998 Oral Presentation: Each presenter is generally allowed 15-20 minutes for presentation, plus a brief discussion period (about five minutes). SPIE will provide the following media equipment free of charge: 35mm carousel slide projectors, overhead projectors, and electric pointers. (it doesn't say "video equipment", but they've had it the last several years) Author Benefits: Authors and Co-authors who attend the conference will be accorded a reduced-rate registration fee, a copy of the proceedings in which their papers appear, and other special benefits. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- For more information, contact the SPIE Technical Program Committee (address/phone above) or you can e-mail me at anderson@osgp.osc.edu -- H.
