Whether this meant moving from punch cards to textual languages, or command lines to graphical UIs, the quest to make computation 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. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: * Design, evaluation, and theory of visual languages * End-user development, end-user programming * Novel user interfaces for expressing computation * 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 ______________________________________________________________________ SYMPOSIUM ORGANIZERS General Chair Gennaro Costagliola - University of Salerno, Italy Program Co-Chairs Martin Erwig - Oregon State University, USA Gem Stapleton - University of Brighton, UK Workshop & Poster Chairs Paolo Bottoni - Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Claudia Ermel - Technische Universität Berlin, Germany Publicity Chair Vittorio Fuccella - University of Salerno, Italy Proceedings & Web Chair Mattia De Rosa - University of Salerno, Italy Fabrizio Torre - University of Salerno, Italy _______________________________________________________________________ PROGRAM COMMITTEE Robin Abraham - Microsoft, USA Robert Biddle - Carlton University, Canada Paolo Bottoni - Sapienza University of Rome, Italy Margaret Burnett - Oregon State University, USA Maria Francesca Costabile - University of Bari, Italy Phil Cox - Dalhousie University, Canada Allen Cypher - IBM Research Almaden, USA Juan De Lara - Universidad Autonoma de Madrid, Spain Robert DeLine - Microsoft Research, USA Gregor Engels - University of Paderborn, Germany Claudia Ermel - Technische Universitat Berlin, Germany Andrew Fish - University of Brighton, UK Judith Good - University of Sussex, UK Jeff Gray - University of Alabama, USA John Grundy - Swinburne University of Technology, Australia John Hosking - University of Auckland, New Zealand John Howse - University of Brighton, UK Christopher Hundhausen - Washington State University, USA Caitlin Kelleher - Washington University in St. Louis, USA Andrew J.
