	     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 week of October 19-23, 1992 at the
Park Plaza Hotel in Boston, MA during the first two days of and in
conjuuction with the Visualization 92 conference.
