                          Call for Papers

Workshop on New Paradigms in Information Visualization and Manipulation 

                         November 11, 1996
                        Rockville, Maryland 

In Conjunction with the ACM Conference on Information and Knowledge
Management (CIKM'96)

The CIKM'96 Workshop on New Paradigms in Information Visualization and
Manipulation will be a forum for presentation and discussion of new
ideas and techniques for accessing, visualizing and manipulating
information.  Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to:
applications of virtual reality, including VRML; shared virtual
environments and simulations; dynamic data visualization;
visualization of multidimensional information spaces; visualization of
large, dynamic information collections; applications of Internet tools
such as MUDs, MOOs, and IRCs; document and corpus metrics; multi-modal
information displays; software and hardware architectures to support
information visualization; and social interaction in multi-user
information visualization systems. We are particularly interested in
reports of work in progress, implementation techniques, and practical
experience with visualization of information collections of all
sizes. A significant portion of the workshop agenda will be devoted to
discussion of pending research questions, and directions for future
work in this area.

Prospective participants are invited (but not required) to submit
position papers. The suggested maximum length is four pages. The
position papers will be reviewed by the organizing committee, and
accepted papers will appear in the workshop proceedings. Some of the
accepted papers will be selected for informal presentation at the
workshop. Accepted papers that were submitted electronically will be
available via WWW by early November.

There are plans to publish the Proceedings in book form after the
workshop. Watch this space for further information about preparation
of camera-ready copy for accepted papers.

Mail papers in either ASCII or HTML to ebert@cs.umbc.edu by September
15, 1996. We prefer e-mail submissions, but authors who lack e-mail
access may send papers to

Dr. David Ebert
Department of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering
University of Maryland Baltimore County
Baltimore, MD 21228-5398 USA. 

Submissions should include the title, author(s), author's affiliation,
e-mail address, fax number and postal address. In case of multiple
authors, please indicate which author is responsible for
correspondence.
