          About the Conference
          ____________________
          The conference is a five-day program that allows the attend-
          ees time to discuss and exchange ideas. These people see
          the trends in their organizations and develop methods and
          applications that become standards.  The interaction has al-
          ways been mentally stimulating since visualization research
          often inspires new products that make advanced research pos-
          sible.

          Visualization of data and information is a vital research
          and applications frontier shared by a variety of science,
          medical, engineering, business, and entertainment fields.
          The Sixth IEEE Visualization conference focuses on interdis-
          ciplinary methods and supports collaboration among the de-
          velopers and users of visualization methods across all of
          science, engineering, medicine, and commerce. The Confer-
          ence Week will include tutorials, symposia, and mini-
          workshops Sunday through Tuesday, and a track for papers
          with a parallel track for panels and case studies Wednesday
          through Friday.

          This year's conference will have exciting new events includ-
          ing special tracks on these significant emerging topics:
          Time-Critical Visualization and VR; Multimedia and Visual-
          ization.  In addition, there will be special sessions de-
          voted to visualization in education and three important
          symposia: Biomedical Visualization, Information Visualiza-
          tion, and Parallel Rendering.  Don't miss this conference,
          or you will miss one of the most effective compilations  of
          significant topics in the field this year.

          Additionally, industry and local media will be invited to
          the conference.

          Demonstration Structure
          _______________________
          Visualization '95 is a unique opportunity to present your
          product to visualization experts from a wide variety of
          fields. We invite applications for demonstrations of com-
          mercial hardware, software, integrated systems, peripherals,
          and literature.

          The  conference  encourages  demonstrations  to be more of a
          "technical" presentation as opposed to the typical  "market-
          ing"  atmosphere that exists at other trade shows.  The show
          floor is made up of 8 x 10 booths that are usually  repres-
          ented by the developers of the product. The attendees will
          ask technical questions that will be more advanced than  the
          typical marketing representative can answer.

          Research groups from academia and research labs are also in-
          vited to demonstrate their work at Visualization '95. Pro-
          posals should summarize the work to be presented and identify
          the hardware/software platform required.

          You will be allowed to utilize your company's trade show
          backdrop and will also be allowed to hand out your marketing
          materials. Arrangement can also be made for private techni-
          cal or Birds-of-a-Feather sessions (e.g., Users' group meet-
          ing).
