Visual languages (VLs) 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 the 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. This year, VL/HCC'05 together with several satellite events will be held in Dallas, Texas, USA, in the heart of the complex of over 600 major multinational technology corporations known as the Telecom Corridor.

VL/HCC is anticipating a fully funded graduate student consortium for graduate students working on research relevant to VL/HCC. As in prior years, funding to provide transportation, housing, and registration for graduate student participants is anticipated. The application process details should be similar to that of prior years; details will become available later this year or early in 2005.

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We solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on some aspect of visual language or human-centric computing technology, whether it be visual technology, text, sound, taste,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

  • End-User and Domain-Specific Languages
  • Empirical Studies of Visual Languages and End-User Programming
  • Human-Centric Software Development
  • Multimedia Authoring Languages
  • Multi-Modal Interaction
  • Software Visualization and Animation
  • Theory of Visual Languages
  • Visual Query Languages and Databases
  • Visual Languages for Design
  • Visual Languages in Software Engineering
