Fourth Program Visualization Workshop

University of Florence, Italy

June 29-30, 2006

Call for Papers for the

Fourth Program Visualization Workshop

http://www.algoanim.net/pvw2006/

Note: due to several requests, the submission deadline has been extended to April 18, 2006 (the Tuesday after Easter).

The University of Florence will organize the Fourth Program Visualization Workshop in conjunction of the ITiCSE 2006 conference at Bologna <http://www.iticse06.cs.unibo.it/>.

The goal of the workshop is to analyze the state-of-art program visualization methods, and to form a deeper understanding on meaningful and functional visualization in the context of programming, data structures and algorithms in education, industry, and research.

The organizers of the workshop are looking for research and position papers as well as reports on work in progress on novel ideas in the field. To be accepted, the submitted paper of 3-6 pages should present a new approach or constructively evaluate an existing visualization paradigm, scheme, or technique. The number of participants will be limited to 25.

There are two submission categories: work in progress and position papers can have 3-4 pages, while research papers can have 5-6 pages.

Accepted papers will be presented and discussed at the workshop, and the authors will have time to compose the final version within three months after the workshop. The proceedings will include the final papers, together with invited lectures. The publisher of the final proceedings will be announced here later.

Topics of Interest

Topics of interest for the workshop include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Software visualization methods
• Program animation
• Algorithm animation
• Interaction methods in software visualization
• Practices of using software visualization in education
