Dear colleagues in the field of visualization research!

   Visualization research is at a point of reorientation --
   many of us are considering questions such as
? What are the most challenging research
  questions in visualization?
? Where should we head for in scientific
  visualization research?

   One sub-field of visualization research, though, namely
   topology-based methods, still remains rich with a number
   of not sufficiently solved problems, e.g., topology-based
   visualization of time-dependent flows or visualization
   of tensor fields based on their topology.

   We -- this is Hans Hagen, Holger Theisel, myself (Helwig
   Hauser), and a few others (see the workshop home page) --
   are organizing a workshop on topology-based methods in
   visualization to be held in Budmerice, Slovakia, on Sept.
   29th and 30th (next month!), in a beautiful castle:
TopoInVis 2005
http://www.VRVis.at/topo-in-vis/2005/
   Below we append a list of talks which have been announced
   for the workshop to give you a better impression of this
   workshop.

   The capacity of the castle allows us to enable a few more
   researchers (and especially also a few more students) to
   participate in this workshop.  If you respond soon to this
   eMail (via mailto:TopoInVis@VRVis.at), declaring your wish
   to participate, then we will issue a special registration
   code to you (also via eMail) which then will enable you to
   register for the workshop at the early bird fee.  We are
   prepared to give at most ten of this special tickets away
   as well as ten more for interested students.

   We would be happy to welcome you at the workshop,
   with best regards,
   Helwig Hauser.
