			CALL FOR PAPERS


2006 International Workshop on Visual Languages and Computing (VLC 2006)
Grand Canyon, USA, August 30 - September 1, 2006

http://www.labgis.dmi.unisa.it/VLC06/

		        SCOPE AND TOPICS

Visual languages have been traditionally used to model human-computer
interaction and computer-supported inter-human communication by
exploiting graphical notations. The strong influence of visual languages
on the art of computing is visible in the variety of computing
activities that make extensive use of graphics, ranging from database
manipulation, to generation of graphical user interfaces, to end-user
programming, to software visualization techniques, etc. As a
consequence, the concept of visual computing is used to refer to a
computation based on the interaction with and the control of visual
objects, either as direct work objects, e.g. 3-D scenes, or as objects
representing other objects that are not necessarily visual themselves,
e.g., block diagrams.
The International Workshop on Visual Languages and Computing will be
held in conjunction with the International Conference of Distributed
Multimedia Systems in Grand Canyon, USA, August 30 - September 1, 2006.
The workshop is intended to be a forum for discussion on latest research
carried out in the area of visual languages and computing. Therefore,
papers are solicited on emerging issues and challenges in the related
research fields. Of special interest are the following topics:

Visual Languages and Techniques for Human-Computer Interaction
Pictorial Databases
Pictorial Information Systems
Visual Languages for Geographic Information Systems
Software Visualization
Data Visualization
Applications of Visual Computing
Computer Animation
Computer-Assisted Visual Arts
Theoretical Aspects of Visual Languages
Visual Modelling Languages
Visual Programming Environments
Enabling Technologies for Visual Computing
Visual Computing in Computer Supported Cooperative Work
End-User and Domain-Specific Languages


			IMPORTANT DATES

March 30, 2006 Paper submission due
May 6, 2006 Notification of acceptance

		DMS COMPETITION ON MULTIMEDIA ARTS.

VLC contributors are also invited to take part in the Competition in
Multimedia Arts, organized for the main conference . The competition
brings together the artists and  multimedia communities to prompte both
multimedia technology through the arts, and the arts through multimedia
technology. Students are especially encouraged to submit their work to
the Competition in Multimedia Arts.
