Visualization has become an increasingly important research area due to its wide range of applications in many disciplines. PacificVis is an IEEE sponsored international visualization symposium held in the Asian-Pacific region, with the objective to foster greater exchange between visualization researchers and practitioners, and to draw more researchers in the Asian-Pacific region to enter this rapidly growing area of research. Authors are invited to submit original and unpublished research and practical applications in all areas of visualization. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to: Feature extraction Flow visualization GPU based visualization Graph drawing Information visualization Large data visualization Illustration techniques Multi-field visualization Multi-resolution techniques Parallel visualization Perception in visualization Software visualization Time-varying visualization Usability and visualization systems Uncertainty visualization Vector/Tensor field visualization Visual analytics Visualization applications Visual data mining Volume visualization and modeling Visual-based knowledge discovery All papers accepted by IEEE Pacific Visualization 2010 will be published in hardcopy proceedings by IEEE and also included in the IEEE Digital Library. Selected research papers of outstanding quality will be invited to submit an extended version to IEEE Transactions of Visualization and Computer Graphics. Top application papers will be invited to submit to a special issue of IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications on visualization applications and design studies.
