                     VISUALIZATION  AND  MATHEMATICS  2002
                           Berlin--Dahlem (Germany)
                             May,  22-25,  2002

                      Under Sponsorship of the Deutsche
                         Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG)

This workshop provides an active forum for mathematicians and computer
graphics researchers on the fundamental problems of visualization
techniques, on applications in mathematics and on mathematical concepts
in visualization. It is the third symposium in a series of workshops
bringing together mathematicians and experts from computer graphics.

For more information see:

                     http://www.math.tu-berlin.de/vismath/

The themes of the workshop include:

o   visualization in differential geometry
    and partial differential equations
o   algorithmic representation of mathematical structures
o   computational aspects of topology
o   discrete geometry of meshes
o   compression of large and time-dependent geometric models
o   virtual laboratories for mathematics and applications
o   online visualization and computational web services.

Workshop Format

The workshop will include keynote lectures, invited talks and
contributed presentations. The time for keynote lectures, invited
talks and contributed talks will be 50, 40, and 30 minutes
respectively including discussions. We will give possibilities for
software demonstrations.

Interested contributors are asked to submit a full paper by March 10,
2002 for review. Based on the decision of the program committee
papers are accepted for presentation at the workshop.

Articcision of the program committee
papers are accepted for presentation at the workshop.

Articles by keynote lecturers, invited speakers and contributors
will be published by Springer Verlag in the book series
"Mathematics and Visualization". For preparation of papers we ask
to use the LaTeX templates for multi-authored books available from:

        http://www.springer.de/math/authors/b-tex.html

For review papers should be submitted online using the paper
submission form at the workshop website.

Abstracts of all talks in electronic form will be available at the
workshop, and the participants will receive an abstract volume.

Date and Location

The workshop will take place at the appealing Harnack-Haus in Berlin
Dahlem. The Harnack-Haus belongs to the German Max-Planck-Gesellschaft.
With our workshop we stay in the house's long tradition as an
international meeting place for scientists.

        Location:      Harnack-Haus in Berlin-Dahlem

Registration

The workshop is open to all researchers. All participants planning to
attend the workshop are requested to fill in the online registration
form at the workshop web site.

The registration fee is EURO 150 and covers the abstract volume, a
social event, and refreshments during the workshop.  Accommodations
and meals are not included in this fee. The full payment of the
registration fee must be made at the beginning of the workshop
at our registration desk at the Harnack-Haus.

For early registrations we have reserved a set of rooms at the
guesthouse of the Harnack-Haus which is close-by the conference center.
Other accommodations will be made in cooperation with the local tourist
information office.

The number of talks is restricted. This and the type of the workshop
facility will guarantee an intensive exchange of ideas.
