                   2007 IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages
                   and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC'07)

------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
--------

 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 human and machine, and are
successfully employed for end-user programming, modeling, rapid
prototyping, and design 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
andindustrial practitioners to discuss the theory, applications and
evaluation of technologies, visual and otherwise, that enhance the role
of humans in the computing process.

SCOPE AND TOPIC
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
--------

We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on some
aspect of 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:

   * Empirical Studies of human-centric software technologies
   * Languages and tools for end-user software development
   * Languages and tools for domain-specific software development
   * Multimedia systems
   * Multi-modal interaction
   * Design, theory, and application of visual programming languages
   * Software visualization and algorithm animation
   * Model-driven engineering (MDE)
   * Domain-specific languages (DSL)


------------------------------------------------------------------------

PAPER SUBMISSION
------------------------------------------------------------------------ 
--------

Authors are encouraged to submit:

     * standard papers reporting on research or experience,
     * short papers detailing work in progress or tool demonstrations.

Standard papers may be up to eight pages in IEEE double-column format;
short papers may be up to four pages in IEEE double-column format.
Papers must be submitted electronically. All paper submissions will be
reviewed by members of the international Program Committee.

Accepted papers will appear in the Proceedings of VL/HCC'07, published
by the IEEE Computer Society. The paper submission deadline is March 20,
2007.
