Re: DM: Fourth International Workshop on Systems Management:

Exploitation of Visualization and Mining
In-Reply-To: <05256897.00677613.00@D51MTA03.pok.ibm.com>

Hi,

I responded before to the effect that I would like to submit a paper on
"Multidimensional Visualization and its Applications". However, I am
unable to come unless there is travel support. Please look me up in the

WWW as well as my work on "parallel coordinates" if you like.

Best regards

Al Inselberg
