******************************************************************** C A L L F O R P A P E R S ACM Symposium on Software Visualization S O F T V I S ' 0 6 September 4-5, 2006 Brighton, UK=20 http://www.softvis.org/softvis06 ******************************************************************** NEWS: - Submission site is now open - Ron Baecker will be the joint keynote for VL/HCC and SoftVis. DEADLINES Paper submission: April 7, 2006 Notification of acceptance: June 12, 2006 Final papers due: July 7, 2006 Software visualization encompasses the development and evaluation of methods for graphically representing different aspects of software, including its structure, its abstract and concrete execution, and its evolution. The goal of this symposium is to provide a forum for researchers from different backgrounds (HCI, software engineering, programming languages, visualization, computer science education) to discuss and present original research on software visualization. Over the years SOFTIVS has become the premier venue for presenting all types of research on software visualization. After SOFTVIS03 in San Diego, and SOFTVIS05 in St. Louis, the third iteration of this conference series will be co-located with the IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing and with the Psychology of Programmers Interest Group (PPIG) Workshop in Brighton, UK. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Papers We seek theoretical as well as practical papers on applications, techniques, tools and case studies. Topics of interest include, but are not restricted to, the following: - Visualization of algorithms and programs - Visualization "beyond programs", eg: software design, database schemas, software process, security, debugging. - Software visualization in education - Integration of software visualization tools with development environments - Graph drawing algorithms for software visualization - Empirical evaluation of software visualization system effectiveness Papers should represent original, unpublished results and will be rigorously reviewed by the international Program Committee. Papers must be in standard ACM 2-column format and cannot exceed 10 pages in total length. Authors should prepare and electronically submit a PDF version of their paper. Videos not exceeding 5 minutes in length can accompany a paper submission. Papers are due April 7, 2006. Some hints for prospective authors are available online.
