note = "Funding Information: it led to better and more informed decisions. From the 202 submissions, the committee accepted 54 papers and fast-tracked 10 to IEEE Transactions on Visualization and Computer Graphics. Interested readers can find more statistics, including acceptance rates per paper category, in a presentation that we put together during the 2009 Visualization Symposium in Dag-stuhl, Germany (see www.dagstuhl. de/Materials/Files/09/09251/09251. PfisterHanspeter.Slides.pdf). The awards committee selected the best paper and honorable mentions prior to the conference so as to publicize them more widely. The VIS best paper award went to “Depth-Dependent Halos: Illustrative Rendering of Dense Line Data,” by Maarten Everts, Henk Bekker, Jos Roerdink, and Tobias Isenberg from the University of Groningen, the Netherlands. The paper presents a simple illustrative rendering technique for line data with GPU acceleration and includes many example applications demonstrating its effectiveness. The fast-forward video illustrates this very compellingly using a bowl of black spaghetti (www.cs.rug. nl/~isenberg/ VideosA ndDemos/ Everts2009DDH). Honorable mentions were “Interactive Visualization of Molecular Surface Dynamics” by Michael Krone, Katrin Bidmon, and Thomas Ertl; “Markerless View-Independent Registration of Multiple Distorted Projectors on Extruded Surfaces Using Uncalibrated Camera” by Behzad Sajadi and Aditi Majumder; and “Perception-Based Transparency Optimization for Direct Volume Rendering” by Ming-Yuen Chan, Yingcai",
