The AlgoViz Portal's annotated bibliography now contains over 500 papers! This expansion was made possible by the generous assistance of Guido Rößling, Susan Rodger, Chris Hundhausen, and Ville Karavirta and his colleagues at Aalto University. Each contributed references or BibTeX files for processing. Our bibliography entries now contains much of the existing literature on Algorithm Visualization, plus many additional references on Software Visualization and related topics.

The AlgoViz team is back from SIGCSE 2010 in Milwaukee, and it was a huge success! Thanks to everyone who visited our booth in the Exhibition or attended our Special Session! One of the many things we did at the conference was run a brief survey about AVs and using them in the classroom. This survey was included in the participant's bag that all registrants received, it was handed out at the booth in the Exhibition, and it was also handed out at the Special Session.

At SIGCSE 2010, we announced the winners of the first annual AlgoViz Awards. There were two winners in each of three award categories, for a total of six winning AVs, all chosen by you! These six winners — as well as one additional AV — are the first inductees into the new AlgoViz Hall of Fame.

The ACM/IEEE Symposium on Software Visualization (SOFTVIS'10) is a major venue for AV-related research. It will be held this year in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, October 25-26. Paper submissions are due April 30, 2010. For more details, visit http://www.softvis.org/softvis10.
