Madrid, Spain
July 3-4, 2008
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 on novel ideas in the field. To be accepted, the submitted
paper of 4-8 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.
The papers will be discussed and evaluated 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 workshop especially aims for papers that describe the use of
visualization software in an educational context.
