VLC 2014 CALL FOR PAPERS

2014 International Workshop on Visual Languages and Computing

http://www.ksi.edu/seke/vlc14cfp.html
(Alternate website: www.cs.pitt.edu/~chang/seke/vlc14cfp.html)

Wyndham Pittsburgh University Center, Pittsburgh, USA, August 27 to 29, 2014

In conjunction with 2014 International Conference of Distributed Multimedia Systems
http://www.ksi.edu/seke/dms14.html
(Alternate website: www.cs.pitt.edu/~chang/seke/dms14.html)

Organized by Knowledge Systems Institute, USA

SCOPE

Visual languages mediate human and computer interaction. Advances in commodity hardware and software, including touch-sensitive surfaces and vision processing systems, are enabling fundamental enhancements to this mediation through sketch and gesture recognition. More formal visual languages allow experts to accurately specify complex systems, such as software architecture or chemical molecules. A visual language can also encompass complex human-computer interaction such as navigating a set of semantically linked videos. Combining aspects of art, engineering, and science, visual computing involves the design and engineering of visual interactions and the analysis of these interactions in terms of semantics, efficiency, aesthetics, pleasure, emotion, engagement, immersion, collaboration, and culture.

For this year's special theme we request high-quality submissions on visual languages and visual computing techniques that enhance digital modeling and fabrication and leverage 3D printing innovations. In addition to the special theme, we continue to solicit papers on all aspects and approaches to visual languages and computing, including interactive visual computing, computer-empowered visual computing, human-empowered visual computing, transformation algorithms for visual computing, and visual languages for visual computing.

SUBMISSION OF PAPERS

Submissions that address research and development on the above and other related topics are strongly encouraged. All the submitted papers will be reviewed by the international Program Committee members. Accepted papers will be published in the Proceedings of DMS 2014. A selection of the best papers will be invited for subsequent publication in a special issue of the Journal of Visual Languages and Computing.

Papers must be written in English. An electronic version (Postscript, PDF, or MS Word format) of the full paper should be submitted to https://www.easychair.org/conferences/?conf=dms2014z. When submitting, select the track VLC14 Visual Languages and Computing Workshop or one of the two VLC14 special session tracks. The paper must include a 200-word abstract and no more than 8 pages of IEEE double column text (including figures and references). All submissions must not be published or under consideration for publication in a journal or in a conference with proceedings. Papers will be evaluated based on originality, significance, technical soundness and clarity of exposition. Depending upon the results of evaluation, a paper may be accepted as regular paper (8 pages), short paper (5 pages) or poster (poster presentation only).
 

IMPORTANT DATES

  • Paper submission due: May 1, 2014
  • Notification of acceptance: June 10, 2014
  • Camera-ready copy: June 25, 2014
