Subject: Khoros Workshop @ Visualization 92
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 92 17:44:58 GMT
Organization: University of New Mexico, Albuquerque
Followup-To: khoros-request@chama.eece.unm.edu



If you want to attend the Khoros Workshop, here is what you should do.  E-Mail 
khoros-request@chama.eece.unm.edu that you plan on attending the workshop. 
In the message, give an indication of what you would like to learn by 
attending.  The fee listed below must be paid at the conference, they are 
not allowing pre-payment of workshop fees, and we are responsible for
giving the Conference administrators a list of attendees.

IMPORTANT NOTE:  The Visualization 92 Conference Announcement that you might
have seen posted or printed does not properly explain the procedure for 
attending the Khoros workshop.  It is open for any one that wants to attend.  
You do not have to pay the Visualization 92 Conference fee to attend the
Khoros Workshop, but it is highly recommended.  It is going to be a great
conference!

The $50.00 fee pays for the setup costs, lunch, and snacks during breaks.

Also, I am looking for one more presentation - especially in the 
collaboration area.  

The proper procedure for attending the Khoros Workshop is below ....

		KHOROS WORKSHOP @ VISUALIZATION 92
		     Tuesday, October 20, 1992
		     Boston Park Plaza Hotel
		       Boston Massachusetts
		Cost $50.00  (Workshop Registration)


                   Sponsored by Sun Microsystems


The purpose of the workshop is to disseminate as much information as
possible to the visualization community about Khoros from those that
use Khoros. There is growing interest in and use of Khoros for
visualization because: 1) it is an open system and 2) it is a software
environment that is appropriate for many visualization disciplines. A
workshop attendee will take away a basic understanding of what Khoros
is, what the future of Khoros holds, and how the community is using it.

The workshop will have four components: 1) introductory remarks and
overview of the presentations, 2) presentations from the user
community, 3) Khoros toolkits and internals, and 4) open discussions in
the morning and afternoon.
