Since the first VDA conference was held in<br>1994, the annual event has grown steadily into a major venue for<br>visualization researchers and practitioners from around the world to present<br>their work and share their experience every year. We invite you to<br>participate by submitting your original research as full paper or a poster.<br><br>Both paper and poster submissions will be peer reviewed. The average paper<br>acceptance rate of recent VDA conferences was about 50%. Papers presented at<br>this conference will be published in a bound proceedings published by<br>IS&T/SPIE. Papers and posters are solicited on all topics of data<br>visualization, including:<br> * Internet imaging, medical imaging, image processing<br> * Biomedical visualization and applications<br> * Internet, web, and security visualizations<br> * Analysis techniques and data mining<br> * Data exploration using classical and novel approaches<br> * Databases and visualization<br> * High-performance computing and parallel rendering<br> * Tools and applications exemplified by case studies<br> * Virtual environments and data visualization<br> * Information and scientific visualization<br> * Volume and flow visualization<br> * Interaction paradigms and human factors<br><br>Authors of the best papers will be invited to revise and extend their work<br>for publication in a special issue of the journal Information Visualization.<br><br>Questions regarding paper submission or conference participation should be<br>directed to the conference chairs:<br> * Pak Chung Wong (<a href="mailto:pak.wong@pnnl.gov">pak.wong@pnnl.gov</a>), Pacific Northwest National Lab<br> * David L.
