solicit original, unpublished research papers that focus on
efforts to design, formalize, implement, or evaluate computing
technologies and languages for programming, modeling and
communicating, which are easier to learn, use or understand than
the state of the art. This includes languages and tools intended
for general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers,
or the public) or domain-specific audiences (e.g., people
working in healthcare, urban design or scientific domains). It
encompasses languages and tools for expressing forms of
computation and reasoning through any means (e.g., visual,
textual, form-based, haptic) and in any computing context (e.g.,
cloud, web, desktop, mobile or pervasive computing).</span></p>

EMPHASIS FOR 2015: COMPUTATIONAL THINKING AND CS EDUCATION</span></p>
<br>
<p dir="ltr" style="line-height:1;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt;"><span
style="font-size:13px;font-family:'Courier
New';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">The
push to enhance computational thinking and computing skills in
education has never been stronger, with a number of high-profile
movements actively working to establish computer science as a
foundation in education (e.g., Code.org) and to broaden
participation in computing among underrepresented groups (e.g.,
NCWIT). VL/HCC is well suited to this pursuit: learning and
education is inherently human-centered, and the potential of
visual languages to captivate users and remove barriers is well
recognized. Thus, for VL/HCC 2015, we seek to place a special
emphasis on education-oriented topics. To this end, we strongly
encourage the submission of works on visual languages and
human-centric computing that, for example, explore theories of
human learning, propose new methods and tools to enhance
learning, and empirically investigate and evaluate learning in a
variety of computing contexts.</span></p>

selected papers from VL/HCC 2014 and 2015 will be invited for
submission in expanded form to a special issue of the Journal of

New';color:#000000;background-color:transparent;font-weight:normal;font-style:normal;font-variant:normal;text-decoration:none;vertical-align:baseline;">Papers
are expected to support their claims with appropriate evidence.
For example, a paper that claims to improve programmer
productivity is expected to demonstrate improved productivity; a
paper that claims to be easier to use should demonstrate
increased ease of use. However, not all claims necessarily need
to be supported with empirical evidence or studies with people.
For example, a paper that claims to make something feasible that
was clearly infeasible might substantiate its claim through the
existence of a functioning prototype. Moreover, there are many
alternatives to empirical evidence that may be appropriate for
claims, including analytical methods or formal arguments. Given
this criteria, we encourage potential authors to think carefully
about what claims their submission makes and what evidence would
adequately support these claims.</span></p>

Author response period: Authors will have an opportunity to
submit a 500-word response based on their initial reviews.
Responses should focus on answering reviewers' questions,
addressing reviewers' concerns, and clarifying any factual
misunderstandings.</span></p>

appropriate, and the Program Committee will reach a final
decision to accept or reject the submitted work. </span></p>
