Description:
"Diagrams" is an international and interdisciplinary conference series on
the theory and application of diagrams in any scientific field of enquiry.
From early human history, diagrams have been pervasive in human
communication. The recent rise of multimedia technology that has turned
advanced visual communication into an integral part of our everyday reality
makes a better understanding of the role of diagrams and sketches in
communication, cognition, creative thought, and problem-solving a
necessity. These developments have triggered a new surge of interest in
the study of diagrammatic notations, which is driven by several different
scientific disciplines concerned with cognition, computation and
communication.
Topics of interest include but are not limited to:
computational models of reasoning with and interpretation of diagrams; diagram understanding by humans or machines; diagram usage in scientific discovery; formalization of diagrammatic notations; history of diagrammatic languages and notations; interactive graphical communication; novel uses of diagrammatic notations; psychological issues pertaining to perception, comprehension, and production of diagrams; reasoning with diagrammatic representations; role of diagrams in applied areas such as visualization; spatial information and diagrams; usability issues concerning diagrams.
