Software visualization (SoftVis) aims at using visual resources to represent software properties that can support users to uncover facts and relationships that otherwise would remain hidden.

Humans acquire more information through vision than all the other senses combined. For this reason, the design and use of visual resources play an important role in software engineering.

Despite the number of studies undertaken involving software visualization, this is the first event in Brazil that brings together researchers and representants from the industry to discuss on relevant results and challenges faced in the field. Special emphasis will be put on the knowledge transfer between academy and industry.

Submission of papers and position papers are both welcome.
