THIS IS THE LAST WEEK OF EARLY REGISTRATION FOR 
THE SYMPOSIUM ON VOLUME VISUALIZATION!!!!!

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

	       1994 Symposium on Volume Visualization

		 October 17-18, 1994 Washington, DC
				   
	                  ADVANCE PROGRAM

Following our three successful meetings (the Chapel Hill '89, San Diego '90,
and Boston '92 Workshops on Volume Visualization), this fourth meeting 
will provide the opportunity for demonstrations of new developments in this
evolving area. Scientists from all disciplines involved in the visual
presentation and interpretation of volumetric data are invited 
to attend this Symposium.

The Symposium is sponsored by ACM-SIGGRAPH and the IEEE Computer Society
Technical Committee on Computer Graphics. This Workshop will take place during
the week of October 17-21, 1994 at the Sheraton Premiere at Tyson Center Hotel
in Washington DC area, in conjunction with the Visualization '94 Conference.
