	***************   Call For Participation   *****************


			    Visualization '93


			   October 25-29, 1993
			     Red Lion Hotel
			  San Jose, California


			      Sponsored by:

	IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Graphics
		    In Cooperation with ACM SIGGRAPH




   Scientific visualization is an important research frontier shared by a
variety of computational science and engineering fields. Visualization work
is both interdisciplinary and a field in its own right.  This conference
focuses on interdisciplinary methods and supports collaboration among the
developers and users of visualization methods across all of science,
engineering, and commerce.

	Papers are solicited that present research results related to all
	areas of visualization, including visualization tools and
	methods, and discipline-specific applications. Original papers
	should be limited to 5,000 words and may be accompanied by
	NTSC video. Please submit 5 copies of all materials. For Paper
	submission instructions, contact Papers Co-Chair:

		     Panel Proposals (due March 31, 1993)

	Panels should address the most important issues in
	visualization today, with emphasis on research, applications,
	systems and results.  Panelists should be experts in their
	field who discuss the challenges of visualization.  Summaries

		   Interdisciplinary Case Studies Proposals
			   (due March 31, 1993)

	Case studies is a forum for scientists from various disci-
	plines to discuss applications, experience, and challenges
	of visualization, and to present potential topics of future
	research. These sessions provide an interdisciplinary meeting
	point between scientists from different areas. We encourage the
	discussion between visualization experts of the roles, benefits,
	and limitation of visualization in particular areas such as
	astrophysics, atmospheric sciencies, computational fluid
	dynamics, engineering, geology, medicine, anthropology,
	chemistry, etc. For Case Study proposal instructions, we
	encourage electronic submission; please contact Case Studies

		 Workshop Proposals (due March 31, 1993)

	Half-day, one or two day workshops on specific visualization
	methods or application areas will be offered Monday and
	Tuesday. They  should deal with state-of-the-art topics and
	involve experts in the field. Discipline-focused workshop
	proposals devoted to a particular discipline's methods and needs
	are encouraged (e.g.molecular graphics). If appropriate, a
	workshop may be co-sponsored by another professional
	organization. For Workshop proposal instructions, contact

		   Tutorial Proposals (due March 31, 1993)

	Half-day and full-day course proposals are welcome for systems,
	methods, and application areas. Tutorials will be  offered
	Monday and Tuesday, preceeding the Wednesday through Friday
	conference. Proposals should target visualization at a
	beginning, intermediate, or advanced level. For Tutorial
	proposal instructions, contact Tutorials Co-Chair:
