The IEEE Symposium on Visual Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) is the premier international forum for researchers and industrial practitioners to discuss the theory, applications and evaluation of technologies, visual and otherwise, that enhance the role of humans in the computing process.

Co-located this year with - the ACM Symposium on Software Visualization (SoftVis '08) and - the Fifth International Conference on the Theory and Application of Diagrams (Diagrams '08), VL/HCC promises to provide a stimulating forum for exchange and debate around a wide range of topics relating to visual languages and human-centric computing in general.

Highlights of this year's symposium within the Visual Week 2008 include:

- A joint VL/HCC & SoftVis keynote by John Stasko, Georgia Tech, USA "Visualization for Information Exploration and Analysis" - A joint VL/HCC & Diagrams keynote by Wilhelm Schaefer, University of Paderborn, Germany "Model Driven Development with Mechatronic UML" - 36 paper presentations - The pre-conference workshops * Layout of Engineering Diagrams (LED '08) * Sketch Tools for Diagramming - The post-conference workshop * Maintenance and Evolution in Model-Based Software Engineering (MEMSE '08) - A Graduate Research Symposium - Diagrams Tutorials * Cognitive Dimensions of Notations * Getting started with sketch tools - An opening reception joint with the SoftVis reception & poster session - A conference dinner with beer-tasting at the Andechs Monastery with its 15th century church and its famous beer brewery

Herrsching is located on the east shore of beautiful Lake Ammersee, 35km (ca. 20miles) southwest of Munich and close to the Bavarian Alps and the famous castles Neuschwanstein, Hohenschwangau, and Linderhof. The world famous Munich Oktoberfest starts immediately after VL/HCC '08 closes.
