                                 VL '93
               1993 IEEE/CS Symposium on Visual Languages
                   August 24-27, 1993, Bergen, Norway


The 1993 IEEE Visual Languages Symposium will be held in scenic Norway.
Participation is welcome in many forms:

     o  TECHNICAL PAPERS (research contributions which are best
        presented orally in the traditional format).

     o  POSTERS (research contributions which are best presented
        visually).

     o  VIDEOS (either in conjunction with a paper or poster, or
        as a self-contained presentation).

     o  PANEL SESSIONS on timely issues.

     o  Pre-symposium TUTORIALS (half-day format preferred) on state
        of the art approaches and emerging areas.

     o  Pre-symposium WORKSHOPS (full-day format preferred) to
        thrash out open issues and prepare reports to the workshop.

In addition to the traditional areas of interest to the IEEE/VL workshops
in previous years, which relate to all aspects of visual languages, visual
programming and program visualization, we encourage submissions which
broaden the theme of ``not just text'' by exploring multimodal environments
(e.g., those which use sound as well as graphics to supplement text).
Technical papers and posters may fall into any of several categories:

     o  Significant, original research results of a theoretical or
        applied nature.

     o  Exposition of the ``look and feel'' and internal workings of
        an implemented system.

     o  Surveys which compare/critique in-depth alternative algorithms
        or systems.

THE DEADLINE FOR ALL SUBMISSIONS IS MARCH 12, 1993. Papers and posters
should be prepared in accordance with standard IEEE two-column conference
format; 7 copies (maximum length 8 pages, including all figures) should
be submitted to the Program Co-Chair/USA at the address given below. One
copy of videos, or e-mail notice of intent to submit a video, should be
sent to the Video Program Chair. Proposals to organize tutorials, panels
and workshops should be sent, via e-mail, to the Tutorials Program Chair.
Submissions of all types will be refereed in the customary manner, with
notification of acceptance by late April or early May. See you in Bergen!!
