softvis 2010: ACM/IEEE SYMPOSIUM ON SOFTWARE VISUALIZATION 2010

October 25, 2010-October 26, 2010 in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA

Call for Papers

We seek theoretical as well as practical papers on applications, techniques, tools, case studies, and empirical studies. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to:

  • Visualization of algorithms
  • Program visualization
  • Visualization in software engineering, e.g. UML diagrams
  • Visualization of parallel programs
  • Visualization-based software in computer science and software engineering education
  • Visualization of workflow and business processes
  • Integration of software visualization tools and development environments
  • Visualization of data and processes in applications
  • Visualization of web services
  • Visualization of software evolution
  • Visualization of the software development process
  • Visualization of data base schemes
  • Protocol and log visualization (security, trust)
  • Source code visualization
  • Graph drawing algorithms for software visualization
  • Visual debugging
  • Program analyses and visualization
  • 3D software visualization
  • Software visualization on the internet
  • Empirical evaluation of software visualization

SUBMISSIONS:

Papers are solicited that present original, unpublished research results and will be rigorously reviewed by an international program committee. Authors should prepare and electronically submit their papers (up to 10 pages in standard ACM 2-column format, http://www.acm.org/sigs/publications/proceedings-templates) according to the instructions on the symposium website: http://www.softvis.org/softvis10. The submission of a video (up to 5 minutes in length) to accompany the paper is encouraged.

Accepted papers will appear in the conference proceedings and the ACM Digital Library. Selected papers will be invited to submit an extended version to a special issue on Software Visualization in the Information Visualization journal (http://www.palgrave-journals.com/ivs/). As in the previous SOFTVIS editions we will award a best paper.

In addition to technical papers, we are also inviting poster and tool demo submissions. Posters and tool demos offer the opportunity to present new ideas and work in progress during an interactive session. Authors should prepare and submit poster and tool demo abstracts of up to 2 pages in standard ACM 2-column format. Accepted abstracts will be included in the conference proceedings.
