> OBJECTIVES
> The symposium is a forum for discussion about CIVEs designed for various
> user groups, application domains, and interfaces such as 2-D desktop
> interfaces, 3-D virtual environments/virtual worlds, handheld devices,
> etc. that utilize different information Visualization algorithms,

> asynchronous). Main objectives include, but are not limited to:
> * Increase our understanding of the design requirements for CIVEs.
> * Closely examine long-term use of particular CIVEs.
> * Identify collaborative practices in collocated visualization processes
> that might be supported in CIVEs.
> * Gain a better understanding of architectural and infrastructure
> requirements for CIVEs.
