             1992 Boston Workshop on Volume Visualization
                         October 19-20, 1992
                     Park Plaza Hotel, Boston, MA
                   --------------------------------

Following-up the successful Chapel Hill and San Diego Workshops
on Volume Visualization, this third workshop will combine papers,
poster sessions, and works-in-progress of new developments in this
evolving area.  Scientists from all disciplines involved in the visual
interpretation of volumetric data are invited to both submit and
attend this exciting workshop.      

The Workshop is sponsored by ACM-SIGGRAPH in cooperation with the IEEE
Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Graphics. This
Workshop will take place during the first two days of and in
conjunction with the Visualization '92 conference, October 19-23, 1992
at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, MA.
