		      AUSTRALIAN COMPUTER JOURNAL

		Special Issue on Software Visualisation

A graphical view delivers higher information content than the 
corresponding textual presentation. Visual structures and 
relationships are easier for reasoning and understanding than 
similar linguistically described structures. Recent advances 
in interactive computer graphics and window technology have made 
visualisation an essential tool for software development.

The term "software visualisation" refers to the graphical 
display of characteristics and behaviour of all aspects of 
software: design and analysis methods, systems, programs and 
algorithms. The purpose of this special issue of the Australian 
Computer Journal is to collect and compare different experiences 
of software visualisation both from fundamental and applied 
viewpoints.

Although not limited to the following, manuscripts are sought from 
academia and industry on such topics as

	o Program and algorithm animation
	o Graphical programming tools and environments
	o Graph drawing
	o Parallel program visualisation	
	o Graphical software design and analysis tools
	o Human factors in software visualisation
	o Visual models for software engineering
	o Data structure visualisation

Schedule:
	Deadline for paper (four copies) submission:	19 May 1995
	Notification of decision:			31 August 1995
	Final manuscript due:				5 October 1995
	Publication:					November 1995
