     ============================================================

  

Overview:
---------

The concentration of this Technical Session is in the realms of
applied methods and algorithms in visualization and computer graphics, 
with the special emphasis on scientific visualization and program 
representation. The sequential counterpart of these topics have long been 
the interest of researchers. However, many of the algorithmic aspects arising in a variety of applications, abd their implementation, still remain
open. This topic offers the opportunity to discuss problems and
solutions in the area, to identify new issues, and to shape future
directions for research, as well as to help industrial users apply
developed techniques.


Topics of Interest:
-------------------

Topics of interest of the Technical Session include, but not limited
to:


- scientific visualization
- image processing
- pattern recognition
- computational geometry methods 
- geographical information systems rendering
- surface meshing
- template matching
- filtering techniques
- algorithms in computer vision 
- visualization in computer modeling and simulation
- visual program representation
- visualization and communication
- visualizaiton in education
- computational geometry 
- other related areas
