Call For Papers

From the beginning of the computer age, people have sought easier ways to learn, express, and understand computational ideas. Whether this meant moving from punch cards to textual languages, or command lines to graphical UIs, the quest to make code easier to express, manipulate, and understand by a broader group of people is an ongoing challenge. The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) is the premier international forum for research on this topic. Established in 1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory, application and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling and communicating, which are easier to learn, use, and understand by people.

This year VL/HCC will be in co-location with MODELS 2012 (http://www.wikicfp.com/cfp/servlet/event.showcfp?eventid=11872©ownerid=2)


Scope and topics

We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on efforts to design, formalize, implement, and evaluate computing languages and development tools that are easier to learn, easier to use, and easier to understand. This includes languages and tools expressed not only as text, but through any other means (visual, sketch-based, gesture-based, or otherwise). This also includes languages and tools intended for a wide range of audiences, including professional software developers, novice programmers, or other any other people who find a need to express computational ideas. We also seek papers that address cognitive, social, cultural, and theoretical aspects of efforts to lower barriers to computing.
Areas of interest include, but are not limited to:
The design, evaluation, and theory of visual languages
End-user development, end-user programming
Novel user interfaces for expressing code
Human aspects of software development
Debugging and program understanding
Computer science education
Software development tools
Model-driven development
Domain-specific languages
Software visualization
Query languages


Innsbruck

Anyone who comes to visit Innsbruck, the capital of the Tyrol region, will immediately notice the close coexistence of culture and nature. Located at the crossroads of Europe’s most important transport lines and nestled in the gorgeous deep valley of the River Inn, in the Alps, between the scenic Karwendel Mountains to the north and Tuxer Mountains to the south, Innsbruck always was - and continues to be – a meeting point and platform for cultural exchange, commerce and science. In more recent times the city has also gained international reputation as an important sports venue.
The conference will be at the Congress Innsbruck Center at Rennweg, right outside the historical old town with its great number of architectural monuments and just in front of the funicular station for the ski area Nordkette.
