** Paper Submission Date moved to March 31, 2006 ** I am pleased to announce the following great news: IEEE Computer Society Publications has approved a 3 year trial of the IEEE Visualization Conference and IEEE Information Visualization Symposium proceedings appearing as an issue of IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics (TVCG), starting this year. This is a great opportunity for our community and also means more work for authors and reviewers as papers can be accepted to Vis/Infovis/TVCG pending minor revision and will undergo a very quick revision and review cycle to ensure they are acceptable for publication and presentation. We appreciate the additional work that both authors and reviewers will commit to in order to make this venture a success. To enable the two part submission process and ensure the journal quality of the review, revision, and publication process, the submission date for papers to both IEEE Visualization and IEEE Symp. on Information Visualization is now March 31. I want to thank the IEEE TVCG Editorial and Advisory Board, the TVCG Associate Editors in Chief, the IEEE VGTC, the Infovis and Vis Conference Steering committees, and the IEEE CS Publications board and staff for their hard work, useful discussions, and valuable input in finalizing this process.
