This includes tools and languages for both general audiences (e.g., professional or novice programmers, or the public) and 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).<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>We have a special emphasis at VL/HCC 2016 on Tools and Techniques for Early Stage Problem Formulation. We particularly encourage work on capturing hand-drawn visual languages, tools that relax the syntax requirements of a visual language and human studies of people formulating and exploring problems using visual languages. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>In addition to papers, we also invite contributions through linked Workshops, showpieces (Posters & Demos), and participation in our Graduate Consortium. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>VL/HCC will be co-located in Cambridge, UK with PPIG 2016 (the Psychology of Programming Interest Group).
