-
- IMPORTANT NOTE: The Visualization 92 Conference Announcement that you might
- have seen posted or printed does not properly explain the procedure for
- attending the Khoros workshop. It is open for any one that wants to attend.
- You do not have to pay the Visualization 92 Conference fee to attend the
- Khoros Workshop, but it is highly recommended. It is going to be a great
- conference!
-
- The $50.00 fee pays for the setup costs, lunch, and snacks during breaks.

- KHOROS WORKSHOP @ VISUALIZATION 92
- Tuesday, October 20, 1992
- Boston Park Plaza Hotel
- Boston Massachusetts
- Cost $50.00 (Workshop Registration)
-
-
- Sponsored by Sun Microsystems
-
-
- The purpose of the workshop is to disseminate as much information as
- possible to the visualization community about Khoros from those that
- use Khoros. There is growing interest in and use of Khoros for
- visualization because: 1) it is an open system and 2) it is a software
- environment that is appropriate for many visualization disciplines. A
- workshop attendee will take away a basic understanding of what Khoros
- is, what the future of Khoros holds, and how the community is using it.
-
- The workshop will have four components: 1) introductory remarks and
- overview of the presentations, 2) presentations from the user
- community, 3) Khoros toolkits and internals, and 4) open discussions in
- the morning and afternoon.
