IEEE Symposium On Information Visualization
(InfoVis '97)
October 20 - October 21, 1997
Sheraton Crescent Hotel, Phoenix, AZ
Early registration (hotel and conference) ended Sept. 26
Sponsored by the IEEE Computer Society Technical Committee on Computer Graphics
InfoVis '97, the third Information Visualization Symposium, will be held to focus on the emerging
area of information visualization. Increasing amounts of data and information and the availability
of fast digital network access (e.g., in the information highway environment) have created a demand
for querying, accessing, and retrieving information and data. However, information technology will
not transform business, science, medicine, engineering, and education if the users cannot use it
easily and efficiently. Technology must come to the users, taking their needs into account. If we
do not involve the users, we will develop useless systems. InfoVis '97 will focus on all aspects
of information visualization and human-information interface, and how advances in interactive computer
graphics hardware, mass storage, and data visualization could be used to visualize information.
