Crossposted from news.announce.conferences 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.
