PPIG announce: PPIG 2006 call for papers

Psychology of Programming Interest Group

PPIG 2006 18th Annual Workshop

7 - 8 September 2006

University of Sussex,
Brighton, UK

Call for Papers
Paper submissions are now invited for the 18th Annual PPIG workshop to 
be held at the University of Sussex, UK.

The annual PPIG workshop is a forum in which researchers concerned with 
psychological aspects of software development can present and discuss 
recent results, findings and developments. Despite its name PPIG 
entertains a broad spectrum of research approaches, from theoretical 
perspectives drawing on psychological theory to empirical perspectives 
grounded in real-world experience, and is equally concerned with all 
aspects of programming and software engineering, from the design of 
programming languages to communication issues in software teams, and 
from computing education to high-performance professional practice.

PPIG aims to bring together people working in a variety of disciplines 
and to break down cross-disciplinary barriers. If you have any queries 
as to whether your topic falls within the remit of PPIG, then please do 
not hesitate to contact the Program Chair, Pablo Romero, at 
[email protected]

Important Dates
12 May 2006: deadline for submission
9 June 2006: notification of decision
30 June 2006: deadline for submission of camera ready copy

Paper Submission
All accepted papers presented at PPIG 2006 will appear in the workshop 
proceedings. Details on paper format and destination e-mail address 
will follow shortly.

This year, PPIG'06 will be co-located with the IEEE Symposium on Visual 
Languages and Human-Centric Computing (VL/HCC'06) and the ACM Symposium 
on Software Visualization (SoftVis'06). All these conferences have many 
relevant topics for those interested in the psychological aspects of 
software development and therefore this is a great opportunity to 
leverage travel time/money. Details of these conferences can be found
