ITiCSE 2000 
The 5th Annual Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education 
Helsinki, Finland       July 11-13, 2000 
 
Program Visualization Workshop 
Description: 
The University of Joensuu  organized the first international Program Visualization Workshop in Finland on July 7 - 8, 2000 in conjunction of the ITiCSE 2000 conference.

The goal of the workshop was  to analyze the state-of-art program visualization methods, and to form a deeper understanding on meaningful and functional visualization in the context of programming, in education, industry, and research. 

The organizers of the workshop were  looking for position papers on novel ideas in the field. To be accepted, the submitted paper of 3-5 pages must present a new approach or constructively evaluate an existing visualization paradigm, scheme, or technique. The number of participants was limited to 30 people.

The position papers were discussed and evaluated at the workshop, and the authors had time to compose the final version within three months after the workshop.
The proceedings will include the final papers, together with invited lectures. 

Some results of the workshop were presented in a panel session in the ITiCSE 2000 conference.
