CALL FOR PAPERS
2010 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC'10) Madrid, Spain, 21-25 September 2010 http://dei.inf.uc3m.es/vlhcc10/ From the beginning of the computer age, researchers and computing practitioners have sought ways to make interactions with computers more human-oriented. For example, visual languages have long been used to provide effective communication between humans and computers. Visual languages have been successfully employed for end-user programming, modeling, and rapid prototyping; they have supported design activities by people of many disciplines and backgrounds including architects, artists, children, engineers, and scientists. In the last few years, a number of languages and technologies have incorporated visual interfaces to facilitate human-human communication through Web technology and electronic mobile devices. The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) is the premier international forum for researchers and industrial practitioners to discuss the theory, applications and evaluation of technologies, visual and otherwise, that make computing more accessible to humans. Established in 1984, the mission of the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing is to support the design, formalization, implementation, and evaluation of computing languages that are easier to learn, easier to use, and easier to understand by a broader group of people. This includes all research aimed at the above mission, regardless of whether it uses entirely visual technology, text, sound, virtual reality, the Web, or other technologies. Examples of research addressing this problem include, but are not limited to, language and environment design and implementation; theory and empirical studies that support the many media used toward this goal; and software comprehension (including software visualization), modeling, and engineering, especially as they are applied toward the above goal. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SCOPE AND TOPICS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on one or more aspects of human-centric computing technology--for instance visual programming or interaction, text, sound, virtual reality, the Web, or other multimedia technologies. Research papers may address cognitive, social, cultural and design aspects, underlying theories, formal methods, taxonomies, implementation efforts, tool support, and empirical studies. We also solicit short papers that present work in progress or demonstrations of tools. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to, the following: - Visual languages for programming, modeling, and communication - Visual domain-specific languages - End-user software development - Computer-mediated human-human communication - Empirical studies of human-centric software technologies - Languages and tools for domain-specific software development - Multimodal interaction - Sketch and Gestural Computing - Software visualization and algorithm animation - Visual or multidimensional model-driven development - Visual and Spatial/Temporal Reasoning - Visual Query Languages and Databases - Visual Techniques for Business Processes and Workflow ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PAPER SUBMISSION ------------------------------------------------------------------------ We invite two different types of paper submissions: (a) full-length papers, up to eight pages, reporting on research or experience, and (b) short papers, up to four pages, describing work in progress or tool demonstrations. All papers must be formatted in IEEE double-column conference format and must be submitted electronically. All submissions will be reviewed by members of the international Program Committee. To help us assign papers to reviewers, we require authors to submit abstracts of their papers two weeks prior to the paper submission deadline. Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of VL/HCC 2010, published by the IEEE Computer Society. The paper submission deadline is March 8, 2010.The conference also invites submissions for workshops and tutorials to be held in conjunction with the symposium; more details will be posted soon. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ IMPORTANT DATES ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Workshop/Tutorials: * informal "intention to submit" email: 4 January 2010 * submission of proposals by email: 11 January 2010 * notification of acceptance: 1 February 2010 Abstract submission: 22 February 2010 Paper submission: 8 March 2010 Notification of decision: 18 May 2010 Camera-ready copy: 14 June 2010 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZERS ------------------------------------------------------------------------ GENERAL CO-CHAIRS Paloma Diaz, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Mary Beth Rosson, Pennsylvania State University, USA PROGRAM CO-CHAIRS Chris Hundhausen, Washington State University, USA Emmanuel Pietriga, INRIA, France PUBLICITY CHAIR Robin Abraham, Microsoft Corp., USA WORKSHOP/TUTORIAL CHAIR Andrew Fish, University of Brighton, UK INTERACTIVE SESSIONS CHAIRS Alessio Malizia, Universidad Carlos III de Madrid, Spain Steve Tanimoto, University of Washington, USA GRADUATE SYMPOSIUM CHAIR Andrew J.
