CALL FOR PAPERS

2006 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC'06)

Brighton, UK, 4-8 September 2006

http://www.cmis.brighton.ac.uk/vlhcc/

KEYNOTE SPEAKERS:       Professor Ronald Baecker, University of Toronto
                                        Dr. Thomas Green, University of Leeds

Visual languages have long been a means of effective communication between human and machine. Today, they are successfully employed for end-user programming, modeling, rapid prototyping, and design activities by people of many disciplines including architects, artists, children, engineers, and scientists. In addition, visual languages and technologies are increasingly being used to facilitate human-human communication through Internet/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 state-of-the-art in visual languages and their applications. In 2006, VL/HCC will be co-located with Software Visualization (SoftVis’06) and the Psychology of Programming Interest Group (PPIG) to provide a week-long forum of related conferences and a chance for these cognate communities to interact.


SCOPE AND TOPICS

We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on some aspect of visual language or human-centric computing technology, whether it be visual technology, text, sound, virtual reality, the Web, or other multimedia technologies. Research papers may address cognitive and design aspects, underlying theories, formal aspects, taxonomies, implementation work, tool support, and empirical studies. We also solicit short papers detailing work in progress or tool demonstrations. Areas of interest include but are not limited to the following:

* Business Processes Modeling (BPM)
* Document Processing with e.g. XQuery, XSLT
* Education and e-Learning
* End-User Development (EUD)
* Model-Driven Engineering (MDE)
* Multimedia Systems
* Multi-Modal Interaction
* Semantic Web/Ontologies
* Specification, Verification and Reasoning
* Visual Domain-Specific Languages (DSL)
* Visual Programming Languages (VPL)


PAPER SUBMISSION

Submissions that address research and development, as well as experience reports, work in progress and tool demonstration proposals on the above and other related topics are strongly encouraged. Submissions requested are standard papers detailing research and experience reports and short papers detailing work in progress or tool demonstrations. Standard papers should be up to eight pages in IEEE double-column format; short papers should be up to four pages in IEEE double-column format. Papers should be submitted electronically. All submitted papers will be reviewed by the international Program Committee members. Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of VL/HCC'06 by the IEEE Computer Society. Paper submission date is March 3, 2006.
