		------------------------------
			May 24-26, 1993 
			---------------

	We are looking for posters that present the research done as
well as the graphics or visualization used to display and study the
results of the research.  The audience will be composed of technical
and non-technical people from many different fields, so the poster
material does not need to be at a level suitable for your scientific
peers.

	Posters should take the form of traditional posterboard (see
guidelines below).

	For each poster session presentation, we will need to receive
a short (paragraph or two) abstract of the research no later than 
April 1st, 1993.

	Posters will be displayed in an open area during all three 
days of the conference.

	We recommend that the scientist or a representative of their
respective organization be available to answer questions regarding the
poster content during some portion of the lunch break (11:00-2:45pm
Monday and Tuesday, 11:00-1:45pm on Wednesday).

Guidelines for Posterboard Displays:
------------------------------------

    Size of posterboard available: 30"x40".

    Posters will be displayed on easels.

    Black & white laserprinter output or color prints are examples of
    how your graphical results may be displayed.  We can provide
    assistance in making color prints for you on our Kodak printer.
    These are high-quality glossy color prints that can be made in two
    sizes: 8 1/2" x 11" or 11" x 11".  We will need to get the files
    containing your images by April 26th, 1993 in order to have time to 
    make the color prints for you.  We can convert most any type of color 
    image (color Postscript, AVS image files, XWD files, HDF files, PICT 
    files, RGB images, and many others) into a format suitable for making a 
    color print.
