HCC'01
IEEE Symposia on Human-Centric Computing Languages and Environments
September 5-7, 2001
Stresa, Italy
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/

Updated Call for Participation
(Reminder: HCC'01 discount registration date approaching: July 30)

The HCC'01 symposia (formerly the IEEE Visual Language Symposium) are the
premier international conferences on visual and multimedia languages for
creating/understanding software.

We hope you will plan to join us at this year's conferences, which consist
of three symposia, include keynote talks by Alan Kay and Sharon Oviatt,
invited talks by Robert Laurini, Athula Ginige and Roberto Zicari, two
special events (including NSF sponsored student participation), four
tutorials, a social program to provide a sampling of some of Stresa's
unique attractions, and more. Here are some of the details:

Symposium --- Symposium on End-User Programming
http://iis.cse.eng.auburn.edu/~SEUP/

Symposium --- Symposium on Visual/Multimedia Approaches to Programming
and Software Engineering
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/SVLSEM.html

Symposium --- Symposium on Visual Languages and Formal Methods
http://www2.cs.fau.de/VLFM01/

Keynote --- Alan C. Kay.
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/KayBio.html

Alan C. Kay is a renowned visionary, and pivotal researcher in modern
computer science. He is best known for the idea of personal computing,
the concept of the intimate laptop computer, and the inventions of the
now ubiquitous overlapping-window interface and modern object-oriented
programming. He invented the Smalltalk programming language, the
overlapping window interface, bitmap painting, and contributed to
WYSIWYG editing and Desk Top Publishing.

Keynote --- Sharon Oviatt.
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/OviattBio.html

Dr. Sharon Oviatt is a Professor and Co-Director of the Center for
Human-Computer Communication (CHCC) in the Dept. of Computer Science at
the Oregon Graduate Institute of Science & Technology (OGI). Her
research focuses on next-generation human-computer interaction, spoken
language and multimodal interfaces, and mobile and highly interactive
systems. Examples of recent work involve the development of novel
design concepts for multimodal and mobile interfaces, robust interfaces
for real-world field environments and diverse users (children, accented
speakers), conversational interfaces with animated software "partners,"
and error suppression in multimodal architectures.

Tutorial --- Information Visualization
by Bob Spence (Imperial College, London)
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/Tut-Visualization.html

Tutorial --- Programming by Example: Intelligent Interfaces for Teaching
New Behavior to a Machine
by Henry Lieberman (Media Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology)
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/Tut-PBE.html

Tutorial --- Object-Oriented Modeling of Multimedia Applications with UML
by Gregor Engels and Stefan Sauer (University of Paderborn, Germany)
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/Tut-OOModeling.html

Tutorial --- Colour in Computer Interfaces
by Paul Lyons and Giovanni Moretti (Massey University, New Zealand)
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/Tut-Colours.html

Special Event --- Children's Programming Odyssey
http://www2.cs.fau.de/HCC01/special.html

This half day event is sponsored by the National Science Foundation
(NSF). This means that we have an opportunity to support via travel
funds upto approximately 10 graduate students to attend HCC and the
Children's Programming Odyssey.

Special Event --- Statechart Modeling Contest
http://www2.cs.fau.de/VLFM01/Statecharts/

Finally, our social program this year includes a Welcome Reception which
will take place in the panoramic garden of the Regina Palace Hotel, a
Banquet which involves an exciting transfer by boat to "Isola dei
Pescatori" and a special dinner to sample the delights of the italian
cuisine and a musical entertainment in the romantic "Ristorante Verbano",
and more...
