Content: Proceedings of a September 1999 symposium which served as a forum for theoriticians, users, designers, and developers of visual languages in all fields. Themes include theory, practice, and design of visual languages, web and multimedia, art and visual languages, visual languages for engineers, usability, and information visualization. Specific topics are solving the spaghetti plate syndrome in a control- flow language with a VLSI-like solution, derivative meaning in graphical representations, alternative navigation techniques, and smooth animation of algorithms in a declarative framework.
