From the beginning of the computer age, people have sought easier ways to learn, express, and 
understand computational ideas. Whether this meant moving from punch cards to textual languages, 
or command lines to graphical UIs, the quest to make computation easier to express, manipulate, 
and understand by a broader group of people is an ongoing challenge. The IEEE Symposium on Visual 
Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC) is the premier international forum for research on 
this topic. Established in 1984, the mission of the conference is to support the design, theory, 
application, and evaluation of computing technologies and languages for programming, modeling, 
and communicating, which are easier to learn, use, and understand by people.
